Toy Story Franchise Box Office Power Rankings: Which Movie Earned The Most Before The Arrival Of The 5th Installment?

Koimoi 2 months ago

Over the past three decades, the Toy Story franchise has done more than tug at heartstrings; it has delivered massive global box office numbers.

What began as a groundbreaking animated film has evolved into one of Pixar's most profitable sagas. It has built a billion-dollar franchise powered by nostalgia, storytelling, and multi-generational appeal. As Toy Story 5 prepares to hit the theaters in a few months, the spotlight has turned to which installment has earned the most before the toys return once again.

1. Toy Story 4 (2019)

  • Director: Josh Cooley
  • IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
  • Streaming On: Disney+
  • Box Office Gross: $1.07 billion

The installment that has topped the list is Toy Story 4, which became the highest-grossing movie of the franchise. The movie was released almost a decade after the second installment, and its plot revolves around Woody's emotional journey of self-discovery. The movie's strong global performance and critical acclaim brought the gross global earnings of the 2019 film to $1.07 billion.

4. Toy Story (1995)

  • Director: John Lasseter
  • IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
  • Streaming On: Disney+
  • Box Office Gross: $401 million

The first installment ranks fourth in the total gross worldwide with earnings of $401 million. However, Toy Story remains the most revolutionary entry for being the first computer-animated feature film that transformed the industry. It also introduced the audience to the iconic friendship between Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Its massive success in the mid-1990s laid the foundation of Pixar's success in animation.

Combined, the four films have earned nearly $3 billion worldwide, proving that Toy Story is not just emotionally timeless but also financially unstoppable. As the fifth installment approaches, its box office legacy already stands among the animation genre's greatest achievements.
