#Toy Story 5: Will Andy return? | Possible Characters + What we know so far

Table of Contents

While sequels often rake in the big bucks at the box office, some movies are better left untouched. On one hand, Toy Story and its sequels are a few of the best animated movies ever made. Yet, fans seemed unimpressed when Disney announced that they would be making a fifth Toy Story movie. Public resentment has increased now following an insider update that Andy might be returning in Toy Story 5 along with other iconic characters. Let’s take a look at what we know so far about the upcoming movie.

Andy’s return in Toy Story 5 rumor explained

For those unfamiliar with the Pixar franchise, Andy is the original human owner of the toys featured in Toy Story such as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The character bid adieu to his toys on a bittersweet note in Toy Story 3 as he left for college.

Now, it looks like Andy is making a return, at least, according to reports from The DisInsider Show. The studio is trying to bring him back as an adult as a strategic move to improve the franchise as well as explore the character’s journey into adulthood.

There is no official confirmation regarding this information. However, fans have already started speculating on how Andy’s return will be integrated into the current narrative of events. The move would also change the way Toy Story 4 ended.

Other possible returning characters

Apart from Andy’s potential return, Toy Story 5 will most likely bring back some familiar faces to the animated franchise. Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head might return on screen but their original voice actors – Don Rickles and Estelle Harris – have died.

Moreover, other memorable toy characters like Slinky Dog, Hamm, Rex, Bo Peep, and more are expected to come back for Toy Story 5. Given that Andy is returning, Toy Story 5 could also feature human characters from the older movies like his sister Molly or even Sid.

While there’s no other information about the movie’s cast or crew, composer Randy Newman seems to be the first member of the team to be retained. Notably, the most recent Toy Story spin-off outing ‘Lightyear‘ was forgettable.

Social media reactions to Andy’s rumored return

Andy’s rumored return in Toy Story 5 has caused severe disappointment among fans. They believe that it would do a disservice to the third film’s perfect goodbye to the character. In fact, they believe it affects how Woody’s arc reaches a conclusion in Toy Story 4.

At the end of the last movie, Woody bids farewell to his longtime friends as well as owner Bonnie. He embraced his new identity as a ‘lost toy’ and joined a traveling carnival with Bo Peep. This final arc of self-identity would be affected even if Andy reunited with Woody.

Fans took to social media to express why they felt Andy’s return in Toy Story 5 as well as the movie itself was completely unnecessary. It drew comparisons to other franchises like Star Wars and Fast and the Furious which overdo character arcs.
