Listen up, millennial Disney fans — this one is for you!
Toy Story Land
The golden age of Disney and Pixar animation just happened to coincide with the formative years of this generation, and the Toy Story movies certainly seem to stand out. From the big screen to our hearts and even an entire Disney World land, Toy Story has made a major impact on many — and now, we have an update on the potential fifth movie!
Pixar’s Lightyear excited fans around the world in the months leading up to its release. Trailers seemed to tease this spinoff as a glimpse into Buzz Lightyear’s past, so many expected it to be about the beloved character from Toy Story.

However, the movie wasn’t like that at all. Millions of Disney fans were unsatisfied with this story because of the lack of connection between this story and the classic Toy Story characters. Ultimately, the movie was a bit of a flop compared to other Pixar films. Why? What went wrong? Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter recently explained.
The Toy Story movies are going on for infinity… and beyond!

On February 8th, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger spoke on behalf of the Walt Disney Company during the first quarter earnings call of the fiscal year. One of the most exciting things Iger said was that sequels were in the works for Zootopia, Frozen, and Toy Story!

It’s no secret that Disney loves a good superhero origin story.
Buzz Lightyear
We recently got to see how one beloved Galactic Hero got his start in Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear, and got to meet some adorable new characters along the way. The film didn’t do quite as well as expected on opening weekend, and a lot of talk has surrounded Disney’s decision to not include Tim Allen (who originally voiced Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies) in it. Allen recently commented on the matter for the first time, and now, another Toy Story actor has spoken up.
There has been SO MUCH Disney holiday news lately, and it’s not over!

Speaking of new content on Disney+, have you heard that Disney is working on a new Santa Clause series?
There are a lot of iconic Christmas movies out there, but one especially beloved film is The Santa Clause featuring Tim Allen.

The film ultimately became a series with 2 sequel movies made after the original. It’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen Tim Allen in the big red suit though. The Santa Clause 3 came out all the way back in 2006. But soon we’ll all get to see Tim Allen transform into Santa once again!
Have you ever been on a Disney World attraction and hear a familiar voice or see a familiar face that you just KNOW from somewhere?

Like maybe it was at Magic Kingdom on Pirates of the Caribbean or maybe you were at EPCOT watching Canada Far and Wide. Or maybe some of those characters on the Dinosaur video at Disney’s Animal Kingdom look familiar.
