Thirty years ago, no one predicted @pixar’s Toy Story would become what it is today — a franchise spanning five films, attractions at all Disney theme parks worldwide, and a Make-A-Wish partnership that has granted wishes tied to Woody, Buzz, and the gang for decades.
This is the story behind the story: the filmmakers who built something that has outlasted every prediction; the Disney teams bringing these characters to life in parks, on cruise ships, in children’s hospitals, and in living rooms around the world; and the creators who found a new question worth asking, one rooted in a world where physical toys compete with the devices in every child’s hand.
