Quentin Tarantino has “no desire” to watch the fourth or fifth “Toy Story” installment

Well, it looks like Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited tenth and final film will not be a Toy Story installment.

The director said during Bill Maher’s YouTube podcast (video) “Club Random” that the original “Toy Story” trilogy is one of the best film trios of all time. According to Tarantino, the franchise has overreached itself with the fourth installment. Well, he won’t like this news: A fifth “Toy Story” installment was announced earlier this year, with original director Andrew Stanton back in the director’s chair. “Toy Story 5” is about children obsessed with technology; the film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 19, 2026.

“I don’t watch all the cartoons and stuff, but I’m a huge fan of the Toy Story trilogy,” Tarantino told Maher in the video below. “With Toy Story, the third one is just great. It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. And if you’ve seen the other two, it’s just amazing.”

“Toy Story 3” was released in 2010 and won the Oscar for Best Animated Film.

We didn’t need a fourth, said Tarantino – but we got one anyway in 2019.

“But the thing is, they made a fourth movie three years later or something, and I have no desire to watch it,” the writer said. “You literally finished the story as perfectly as you could, so no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done.”

Tarantino compared the Disney-Pixar films to the legendary westerns of Sergio Leone.

“I think there’s only one trilogy that absolutely, utterly works, and that’s ‘A Fistful of Dollars,’ ‘For a Few Dollars More,’ and ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,'” Tarantino said. “It does what no other trilogy has ever done. The first film is great, but the second film is so great and puts the whole idea on such a big screen that it overshadows the first. And then the third film does the same thing to the second, and that’s what somehow never happens. You see this big jump from the first to the second, and they don’t really make the third one.”

“For a Fistful of Dollars” is also being remade by the producers of “The Departed,” “300,” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley.”
