Development[edit]

In February 2019, Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz Lightyear in the first four films of the Toy Story franchise, expressed interest in doing a fifth film by stating, "Once you've gotten to four, you're passed that trilogy [point], so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't do it, certainly. If you ask me, I'd say do five."[3] In May 2019, producer Mark Nielsen announced that Pixar would return its focus to making original films instead of sequels after Toy Story 4 for a while.[4] On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tom Hanks, the voice of Woody, stated that the fourth film would be the final film in the series. He said to Ellen DeGeneres that Allen had "warned him about the emotional final goodbye between their characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 4."[5] However, Nielsen did not rule out a possibility of a fifth film, stating, "Every film we make, we treat it like it's the first and the last film we're ever going to make, so you force yourself to make it hold up. You don't get in over your skis. Whether there's another one? I don't know. If there is, it's tomorrow's problem."[6] Shortly after the fourth film's release, Annie Potts, who voiced Bo Peep, said that despite her not knowing if another film would be made, she believes a lot of fans would be interested to see what the toys do next.[7]

In February 2023, during the Q1 earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that a fifth film is in active development.[8] Later that day, Allen confirmed that he would return to voice Buzz Lightyear in the film.[2] Later in the month, Pixar CCO and franchise alumni, Pete Docter stated that the film would be "surprising" and would have "cool things you've never seen before."[9] In June 2023, Docter confirmed that Woody would return in the film.[10] In September, Jim Hanks confirmed that Tom Hanks would return to voice Woody.[1]
