Summary
Five years after its wildly successful release , Toy Story 4 ’s emotional ending still sticks in my mind , but late news aboutToy Story 5makes me think the previous picture ’s ending is about to be rendered indifferent . The 4th film in theToy Storyseries took over $ 1 billionat the box office , make it one of thehighest - gross Pixar movies of all time . The picture ’s financial triumph is one matter , but I think its aroused ending to the saga was actually fairly fitting . alas , the approaching sequel seems like it wants to take the serial back on itself .
TheToy Story 5reveals at D23included Andrew Stanton being confirmed as the writer and theatre director . Stanton did n’t direct the 2019Toy Storyeffort , but he did help pen the screenplay . The long - abide Pixar figure has been heavily involved with projection by the studio apartment , include manoeuver 2008’sWALL - Eand 2016’sFinding Dory . So , whileI have faith thatToy Story 5will be an enjoyable ride , I ca n’t shake the feeling that part of its premise is something of a Woody retcon .
Despite Toy Story 4 ’s consummate end between Buzz and Woody , Disney has announce Toy Story 5 , and here ’s everything we acknowledge so far .

Toy Story 5’s First Look Hints Woody Reunites With The Other Toys
Woody’s last Toy Story outing ended with the cowboy as a lost toy
Toy Story 4ends with Woody part elbow room with many of his oldest friend , choose for a life of exemption without an owner . I remember the dear farewell between Woody and Buzz Lightyear look like the last clock time the fabled duet would ever interact . Weirdly , the first release image fromToy Story 5has Woody back with the others . To me , this undercutsToy Story4 ’s concluding scene - and what I truly think was intended to be the final episode of theToy Storyfranchise at the time .
Toy Story 5does seem to be treading on the toes of its forerunner by bring Woody back into the flexure .
I ’ve always seenToy Story 4as an epilogue for Woody as he taste to come to terms with losing Andy - despite having a new owner in Bonnie . I was spooky when the movie was announced because of how perfectToy Story 3 ’s endingwas . Thankfully , I find myself win over by the project upon release . I do n’t thinkToy Story 4 ’s finish undoes the previous installment ’s finish but rather extends it . However , Toy Story 5does seem to be treading on the toe of its predecessorby bring Woody back into the fold .
Toy Story 5 is the fifth entry in the Toy Story movie franchise by Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.
Toy Story 5’s Reunion Tease May Be Misleading
Woody’s comeback may come with a twist
TheToy Story 5teaser image may not be on the button what it seems to be . At first glance , it look as though Woody has been full reunite with his older champion for the forthcoming sequel . In all likelihood , I think this is Stanton ’s plan . On the other manus , there are alternative . The released image may not be a screenshot at all , or even truly representative of what will happen inToy Story 5 . It could be stringently for promotional purposes , to aid in the declaration of the assumption thatBonnie will be distracted from her toys by a lozenge .
daunt by the fact of not being played with because of Bonnie ’s new machine , the toy may have try out Woody for avail .
or else , Woody ’s reunion may not be permanent . scare by the fact of not being act with because of Bonnie ’s fresh equipment , the toys may have sought out Woody for help , hoping their supporter and former drawing card can help them enact a plan that will result in them being favored again over the pad of paper . If so , this opens the door for Woody to pull up stakes again at the last of the motion picture or even decide to abide again on a full - metre basis . With little setting surrounding the image , there ’s no way of knowing until more entropy is made public .
Should Toy Story 5 Undo Toy Story 4’s Ending?
There are positives and negatives to Woody’s potential return
I ’m very torn aboutToy Story 4 ’s cease being undermined by the story continue . It felt like a perfect room to leave the level . Unfortunately , I do n’t consider cook another flick would work if the characters are in the same situation as they were when we last envision them . Buzz and Woody ’s friendship has always been at the heart of the saga , and the thought of them having disjoined adventure for an full movie just does n’t sit well with me .
The coming Toy Story film needs to take step to prevent Pixar from falling into a trap , and it all descend down to two sparingly - used lineament .
As a result , I think the only real solvent is to convey them back together . So , although I ’m uneasy about Andrew Stanton essentially unwriting his own ending from the late film , it ’s something of a necessity if another moving picture is to be produce . IfToy Story 4 ’s ending is prise too heavily , Toy Story 5would stick out like a afflictive pollex among the other entrance in the enfranchisement , and I want it to bring .
