10 Most Highly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2022

Because of how Toy Story 4 ended, it genuinely felt like the franchise that redefined animation had drawn to a close. With Woody leaving his friends, where else could the beloved series go?

And there was only answer - to infinity and beyond. Even though the studio could've easily churned out Toy Story 5, they subverted expectations by creating the spin-off, Lightyear, which focuses on everyone's favourite spaceman. But this time around, the story won't focus on Buzz as an action figure, but as a real astronaut preparing for his first adventure into the cosmos.

This is such a perfect way to rejuvenate the Toy Story...um... story, you wonder why The House of Mouse haven't done it sooner. Even though Lightyear is sure to have a ton of hilarious moments and sensational action sequences, the trailer shows the story will emphasise humanising the characters and their relationships with one another, as one would expect from Pixar.

If Lightyear does well with critics and at the box office (which it should because... it's Pixar), this could lead to a highly lucrative franchise. Not only that, it could inspire the creation of other spin-offs, revolving around Woody, Jesse, and the rest of the gang.
