The biggest hit of 2026 so far, Toy Story 5 has made a whopping $160 million internationally, topping the opening weekend numbers of all previous super-popular Toy Story movies.

And for those of you wondering why a Toy Story 5 even exists, when there was so much speculation about Toy Story 4 as the unnecessary coda to the perfectly realized Toy Story trilogy — oh you adorable dreamer, you. As long as there’s a dollar yet to be made, there’ll be Toy Story movies. Disney doesn’t leave money on the table.

Directed by Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Wall-E), who had a hand in writing but not directing all the previous Toy Story movies, Toy Story 5 brings cowgirl Jessie (Joan Cusack) to the fore as the main character suffering existential agonies as yet another kid gets ready to abandon her for a shinier new toy of some kind. That’s basically the plot of every Toy Story movie going back to the first one in 1995, when cowboy Woody (Tom Hanks) was Andy’s favorite toy until the boy’s birthday came around and he got the spiffy new astronaut Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen).
