Quentin Tarantino has revealed he’s got some unexpectedly hard boundaries when it comes to the Toy Story franchise.
The two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker recently sat down with Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, when the two-hour conversation turned to the most iconic movie trilogies of all time.
And, of course, when you’re getting into the best “part three” films, it’s inevitable that Toy Story is going to come up.
“In the case of Toy Story, the third one is just magnificent,” the Pulp Fiction director enthused of the modern Disney classic. “It’s one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. If you’ve seen the other two then it’s just devastating.”
However, like plenty of other critics, Tarantino apparently reckons that Pixar should have just left it there.
“The thing is, three years later or something they did a fourth,” he explained. “And I have no desire to see it.
“They literally ended the story as perfect as you could. So I don’t care if it’s good, I’m done. I am done. It can still be good, I am done.”
Despite Tarantino’s apparent reservations, Toy Story 4 was mostly well-received by critics when it hit cinemas back in 2019, and went on to beat How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and Netflix’s Klaus to the Best Animated Feature prize at the following year’s Oscars.
Meanwhile, it was recently confirmed that a fifth film is due for release in 2026, with director Andrew Stanton teasing what we should expect from it at the D23 fan event earlier this month.
