Pixar hasn't had a movie that wasn't a huge success yet. Also Pixar has stated many times that “Toy Story 3” will be the last film in the franchise. Before coming to a conclusion remind yourself of screenwriter Lee Unkrich words:
I really tried my best to end the story of Andy and his toys and bring that story to a close in a really nice way at the end of this film. That being said, we know that people love the characters, love Woody and Buzz, and would hate to say good-bye to them completely. I don't know that there would ever be a “Toy Story 4. ” We don't have any plans for one — but we are trying to find ways to keep the characters alive. We have announced we're going to do a short film in front of Cars 2: World Grand Prix that uses the Toy Story characters. We're going to keep them alive; they're not going away forever.”Take a look on two “Toy Story” shorts and keep Woody, Buzz, and others toys alive!
