Though a third film installment, once a major factor in Pixar's widely-covered search for a new distributor (which ended happily when Disney bought Pixar last year), is presently four years from fruition, other non-movie routes have been explored. The success led Disney and Pixar to collaborate to serve public demand with more things Toy Story. Of course, the sequel was a big hit and its $485 million global intake easily surpassed that of its predecessor. In retrospect at least, it makes sense that Toy Story 2 was developed as a straight-to-video project but became bound for the big screen when Disney was pleased by the witnessed work-in-progress. Meanwhile, Disney has held steadfastly to the belief that animated follow-ups are best suited to budget-conscious, direct-to-video release.
But, as we've seen in the twelve years since, Pixar has shown an aversion to sequels, even in the face of setting box office records.
These days, numbers like Toy Story's would trigger a quick green-lighting of a theatrical sequel for most movies. Pixar Animation Studios had made the first all-computer-animated feature a distinct success. Instead, it was born out of a promising new relationship in a medium never before fully explored. This time, the hit was not delivered from the red-hot Feature Animation department in the midst of a winning streak like no other in recent memory.
