Pioneering the digital age of animated movies, which has now eclipsed the more traditional hand-drawn method, and made the Pixar the top animation studio in Hollywood! And still to this day the Toy Story  franchise is Pixar's biggest hit. Audiences initially thought that Toy Story 3 (2010, Lee Unkrich) would be the ending for this franchise. With the toys saying goodbye their owner, Andy, in quite an emotional way.     But now it seems that Pixar isn't quite done with Toy Story  just yet!
