Toy Story 1995John Lasseter’s *Toy Story* is funny, tightly made and unusually good at making awkward characters worth caring about. Randy Newman’s music sometimes overstates things; the quarrelling voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen need little help.Fi1m 92 - 2
Toy Story 2 1999John Lasseter’s sequel is funny, moving and unusually clear-eyed about how childhood ends. A few action passages feel dutiful, but the toys’ fear of being forgotten gives the comedy a reason to matter.Fi1m 89 - 3
Toy Story 3 2010Lee Unkrich makes being outgrown hurt, even when it happens to toys. This funny, deeply affecting adventure survives some overbusy escape plotting, though its darker passages may test younger children more than parents expect.Fi1m 87 - 4
Toy Story 4 2019Josh Cooley’s fourth Toy Story is beautifully lit, funny about a spork that would rather be in the bin, and has one properly frightening villain. It is also the second farewell in a row, and this one is asked for rather than earned.Fi1m 78 - 5
Toy Story 5 2026Andrew Stanton brings the toys back to face a tablet, with the wit and craft the series has always had. What it lacks is nerve: it raises the question of screens and children, then puts it down and goes home.Fi1m 66
