30 years ago, the animation industry changed forever as Pixar Animation Studios released it’s first feature film “**Toy Story** ” which also became the first ever computer animated film ever. It’s impact in the animation industry cannot be denied as rival studios saw what CGI animation had a big potential in the medium now 30 years later we see that in studios like **Walt Disney Animation Studios, 20th Century Animation,** **Dreamworks Animation, Illumination Entertaiment, Sony Pictures Animation, Warner Bros Pictures Animation** , **Locksmith Animation** and **Annapurna Animation.**
The Walt Disney Company website recently sat down with **Andrew Stanton** _**(Finding Nemo, WALL-E, John Carter, Finding Dory)**_ on the impact that the first film had after 30 years._****_**Andrew Stanton** is also the director and writter of “Toy Story 5” which is set for a Summer, 2026 release on theaters worldwide
During the interview Stanton gave a hint on the overall message of the fifth film.
“As a writer and a filmmaker, I don’t like making guardrails. Although, over 30 years of making up to five Toy Story movies now, there have been some clear lanes or parameters. One, of course, is that it’s about toys. But the other thing is that [each film] deals with some truth about growing up… There’s always some new aspect of toy life that you’ve never seen, from a different perspective, that we like to add to the quilt of the world. And there’s always some new type of toy that you can add to the cast of characters. The world is so vast… Every household’s a little different, every kid’s a little different, every style of play is a little unique to the thumbprint of the owner and to that toy’s experience. Nobody played with exactly the same things growing up, so you could compare notes forever.”
“It’s like comparing record collections. There’s some overlap, but there’s so much variety. We can grow old with the kids… Let Andy grow up. Let the toys be handed off. Let one of them separate. Let them somebody be forgotten. These are all things that really happen. The minute you are in a flea market and you buy a used toy, or you lend a toy to somebody else and they never remember to give it back, that’s a whole ‘nother movie right there! You can embrace time, and we have… Time has moved forward with all of these characters, and that’s the key. The key is not putting them in amber and trying to honor them. The key is letting them change, like life changes.” **– Stanton**
