Pixar CEO Pete Doctor confirmed the news during a recent Inside Out 2 screening. The MontyVerse on Twitter was first to share the news on Twitter.


Stanton’s work includes writing and directing Finding Nemo and WALL-E; both films earned him the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. He directed his first live-action Disney film John Carter in 2012. Stanton would return to Pixar to direct Finding Dory, which grossed over $1 billion at the global box office. He also worked on Toy Story 4 as a writer/producer, which would also go on to gross over $1 billon.

I wish he hadn’t had bombed so hard with John Carter of mars.

Really should have stopped with 3.

Really should have stopped with 3.

It was the perfect send-off too.

Really should have stopped with 3.

4 was great because it was clear the villain was modeled after Lasseter.

 

[Blade2.0]

Ok, but there should be no woody.

I'm torn. I loved 4. Forkie was the real MVP, but also I would have been ok if the series ended at 3.

Ok, but there should be no woody.

So long as Jessie is in there will always be a woody of some kind.

at this point the movies are tech showcases as well. Toy Story 4 was actually a big upgrade from 3.

Pixar has been going downhill ever since Disney bought them.

For real ?

Never got that sense? How is that doll lasseter? Seems farfetched. Forkie being representation for lgbtq seems much less of a jump. Maybe youre thinking of 3, with lotso the hugging bear?

Only good thing about 4 was duke kaboom.

not sure where they go from here. Anything after 4 wouldnt have woody snd any prequel before 1 wont have buzz.

Yea was thinking of Lotso. That was totally Lasseter.

This is sad. The man has enough talent to write a brand new IP and they are wasting him on yet another sequel.

 

[Sybrix]

Toy Story 4 was meh. But it made over $1 billion.

I don’t think we’re the target market lol, remember how old you were when you 1st watched Toy Story 1 & 2?

Todays 8 to 15 year olds will love Toy Story 5

 

[Diddy X]

Honestly only 1 and 2 were worth it.

 

[EverydayBeast]

All jokes aside you’re not going to make a better movie than Toy Story 1 & 2, Pixar don’t know what to do.
