Toy Story 5…Will People Want This?
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event presented by Visa is a one-of-a-kind, multi-day fan experience showcasing the very best in creative storytelling and innovation from across the worlds of Disney. D23 in 2024 has been reimagined to be more expansive and more immersive than ever before, with three packed days of showcases with stars and storytellers, sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes moments, thrilling performances, shopping, surprises, and more.
Here is a short teaser they showed as well:
I love Toy Story as much as the next person, but after the dual endings to the franchise that were parts 3 and 4, and how neatly the whole thing wrapped up, I am not so sure this is a good idea. Will it make gobs of money? Yes, of course it will, but I am not so sure that it is needed. Of all the franchises that Pixar has, this is the last one that probably needed another entry. Now, if they wanted to do another Ratatouille, I would be all for that in a second.
Keep it locked tight here for all of the announcements from the D23 Expo all weekend long, we are there live to bring it to you.
