Toy Story 5 Hits 30-Day Amazon VOD Milestone
Toy Story 5 has spent 30 consecutive days in Amazon's Top 25 VOD charts ahead of its Disney+ premiere. The film has grossed $1.14 billion globally and holds a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Toy Story 5 has achieved a significant milestone on video-on-demand platforms less than a week before its Disney+ streaming debut. The film has been in the Top 25 movies on Amazon's VOD charts for 30 consecutive days, according to data from FlixPatrol.
The animated sequel, which arrived in theaters in June, will be available to stream on Disney+ on September 23, 2026. It has grossed $1.14 billion worldwide to date and maintains a 94% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Strong Performance on Rental Charts
Its prolonged success on Amazon's rental and purchase charts indicates robust post-theatrical interest. This performance mirrors other recent hits on the platform. For comparison, FlixPatrol data shows the following films and their consecutive days in the Amazon Top 25:
| Movie Title | Days in Top 25 |
|---|---|
| Backrooms | 65 |
| Obsession | 78 |
| Minions & Monsters | 32 |
| Toy Story 5 | 30 |
| The Super Mario Galaxy Movie | 100+ |
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which scored 42% on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed $1.01 billion, has remained on the charts for over 100 days even after its Peacock streaming release. This suggests Toy Story 5's VOD run could also extend well beyond its Disney+ premiere.
Critical and Audience Reception
Audiences and critics responded enthusiastically to the film's focus on Jessie the cowgirl, voiced by Joan Cusack, and its themes about technology's role in children's lives. While the source states it is "not the best Toy Story movie," it maintained the franchise's successful streak. The previous four Toy Story films are already available on Disney+, along with related tie-in content.
Future of the Toy Story Franchise
The franchise's longevity and consistent commercial success make future installments a strong possibility. Both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 were initially seen as narrative endings before sequels were greenlit. Director Andrew Stanton teased ideas for Toy Story 6 and beyond in an interview with ScreenRant, though no sequel is officially confirmed. "It's like a series that doesn't know it's going to get picked up for the next season," Stanton said.
Original stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have consistently been ready to reprise their roles. With financial returns remaining strong, the story of Woody, Buzz, and Jessie is likely to continue across various platforms.
