Toy Story 3 remains one of Pixar’s most satisfying conclusions, delivering an emotional farewell that felt impossible to improve upon. Toy Story 4 proved there was still some fun left in the tank, even if it felt a bit like an encore no one actually asked for. That made Toy Story 5 a pretty tough sell.
