Pixar is marking the Toy Story 30th Anniversary in grand style! The iconic animation studio is reminiscing about the cherished moments of Woody, Buzz, and the gang, while sharing a heartfelt tribute to the legendary film that changed how we see toys.
“One story redefined our connection with toys forever,” a caption reads between nostalgic clips from the beloved franchise. “Some friendships only grow stronger over time.”
The tribute video, released on YouTube and across Pixar’s social media, is captioned, “30 years of friendship & beyond! 🚀 This year, join us in celebrating the unforgettable legacy of Toy Story. ❤️ #ToyStory30.”
Toy Story 30th Anniversary: A Legacy That Lives On
Originally debuting in November 1995, the groundbreaking Toy Story 30th Anniversary film was Pixar Animation Studios’ first full-length feature, released in collaboration with Walt Disney Pictures. It unveiled a secret world where toys come to life when their owners aren’t looking.
The story follows Woody, a fun-loving cowboy voiced by Tom Hanks, who sees his world turned upside down when Andy, his owner, receives an exciting new action figure—Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen. This sparked an unforgettable adventure filled with humor, heart, and valuable lessons about friendship.
The massive success of the first movie led to three beloved sequels: Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010), and Toy Story 4 (2019), as well as multiple spin-offs and short films. In 2022, Chris Evans lent his voice to Buzz Lightyear in the standalone film Lightyear, which, while ambitious, didn’t quite capture the same magic as the main series.

During Disney’s D23 Expo in August 2024, Pixar thrilled fans by unveiling details about the franchise’s exciting future. The animation studio announced that Toy Story 5 is set to hit theaters in June 2026.
Andrew Stanton, a pivotal creative force behind the series, will direct the next chapter. At D23, he shared that the upcoming installment will explore modern childhood play, particularly how technology challenges traditional toys.
“In Toy Story 5, the toys’ responsibilities become even more difficult as they face their biggest competitor yet—electronics,” Stanton explained.
As fans gear up for another adventure with Woody, Buzz, and their friends, the Toy Story 30th Anniversary serves as a heartwarming reminder of the franchise’s enduring magic. Here’s to infinity and beyond!
