To infinity and beyond: Discover the latest Toy Story products from Disguise

A sheriff in a cowboy hat, a space ranger convinced he can fly, and a gang of toys that come to life as soon as humans turn their backs… Since 1995, Toy Story has been a part of several generations’ lives.

More than 30 years after the release of the first film, the adventure continues. Toy Story is now part of Disguise’s new lineup—a timely addition as the saga has just written a new chapter with Toy Story 5.

Let’s take a look back at a franchise that revolutionized animation… and that clearly isn’t done taking us to infinity and beyond!

Flashback to 1995: On November 22, Pixar released a film in the United States that would mark a turning point in the history of animated cinema: Toy Story.

The premise is as simple as it is effective: what do our toys do when we leave the room?

In young Andy’s bedroom, they talk, think, worry, argue, and have their own adventures.

At the heart of the story are two characters who are complete opposites:

• Woody, the cowboy and Andy’s favorite toy.
• Buzz Lightyear, a new space ranger who arrives in the room.

Surrounding them is a whole gang of toys with very different personalities.

But Toy Story doesn’t just leave a lasting impression because of its story. It became the first feature-length film made entirely with computer-generated imagery, opening a new chapter in the history of animation.

One of the strengths of *Toy Story* is that it has grown alongside its audience. Over the course of the films, Andy grows up, the toys evolve, new characters are introduced, and the themes sometimes become more touching.

A quick look back into the toy chest:

•  1995 – Toy Story: Woody sees his status as the favorite toy threatened by the arrival of Buzz Lightyear. Their rivalry will ultimately give rise to one of animation’s most famous friendships.
• 1999 – Toy Story 2: Woody discovers he’s a collector’s item and meets new characters, including Jessie and Stitch.
• 2010 – Toy Story 3: Andy is about to leave for college. This new chapter confronts the toys with a difficult question: what becomes of them when their child grows up?
• 2019 – Toy Story 4: Woody, Buzz, and their friends meet Forky and set off on a new adventure that profoundly changes the cowboy’s destiny.
• 2026 – Toy Story 5: The gang returns to face a new kind of adversary: technology.

Over three decades, Andy’s little bedroom has thus become the starting point for a truly international franchise.
