Celebrating 30 Years of Toy Story – Back in Cinemas in 4K

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Toy Story, the groundbreaking Pixar masterpiece that changed animation forever. First released in 1995, Toy Story was the world’s first fully computer-animated feature film, captivating audiences with its heart, humour and dazzling visuals.

The story follows Woody, a loyal pull-string cowboy voiced by Tom Hanks, whose world is turned upside down when space ranger Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen, joins the toy box. What begins as a rivalry quickly turns into an unforgettable friendship as the toys embark on a daring adventure beyond their bedroom.

Its impact on children’s cinema cannot be overstated. Toy Story redefined animated storytelling, blending cutting-edge technology with a heartfelt narrative that resonated with kids and adults alike. Generations have grown up quoting its lines, humming Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” and cherishing the colourful cast of characters.

Now beautifully remastered in 4K, Toy Story returns to the big screen at Event Cinemas from September 11 2025, giving audiences a chance to relive the magic or experience it for the first time in stunning clarity.

With Toy Story 5 set for release in 2026, this anniversary screening is the perfect way to celebrate a film that has stood the test of time. Woody and Buzz have shown us that true friendship never goes out of style, making this return to cinemas a must-see event for fans of all ages, take your little one or become Billy Madison in a cinema full of kids.

Reach for the sky – let’s celebrate 30 years, and beyond.
