History

Historical Context

In November 1995 John Lasseter’s Toy Story became the first fully computer-animated feature, earning about $373 million worldwide and proving CGI’s box-office power. Disney’s 1996 home-video launch sold 21.5 million VHS copies, creating a lucrative ancillary market. The 2026 digital debut of Toy Story 5 repeats that model, bundling 4K Ultra HD, Steelbook and soundtrack releases for fans.
