Celebrate 30 Years of Toy Story with New Movie and Merchandise Launch

Takara Tomy's Exciting 30th Anniversary Celebration of Toy Story



Takara Tomy is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the beloved Disney/Pixar film 'Toy Story' (1995) in an extraordinary way. Today, on June 30, 2025, they released a brand new short film titled 'To Infinity and Beyond: Toy Story in Japan.' This unique movie is available on the Takara Tomy official YouTube channel (Watch Here). This original piece, created under the official supervision of Pixar Animation Studios, is a celebration of the magic and adventures that 'Toy Story' embodies.

The Short Film: A Blend of Cultures


The newly released short film captures the essence of friendship and adventure that made the original 'Toy Story' a classic. Combining live-action and stop-motion animation, it explores a captivating concept: What if Woody and Buzz Lightyear visited Japan? The characters will be seen dressed in original designs reflecting traditional Japanese culture - including kimonos, ninja outfits, and samurai armor. Woody, Buzz, and Jessie will take center stage in a delightful narrative that fuses Western storytelling with Japanese imagery, creating a fresh, culturally rich perspective that fans will undoubtedly appreciate.

Collectibles Galore: 30th Anniversary Merchandise


Complementing the release of the short film, the celebration also includes an array of collectible merchandise that fans can look forward to. Set to launch on August 2, 2025, these products will be available at toy specialty stores, department stores, mass retail outlets, and online at the Takara Tomy Mall (Shop Here).

Among the featured items is the 'Toy Story 30th Anniversary Real Size Talking Figures' series, which includes figures of Woody in his KABUTO version, Buzz Lightyear in his NINJA attire, and Jessie in a KIMONO. These figures, priced at 11,000 yen each (tax included), boast authentic character voices in both Japanese and English, enhancing the play experience for kids and collectors alike.

Further expanding the lineup, Takara Tomy introduces products based on various scenes and characters from the film. For instance, fans can expect to see the Woody and Jessie figures inspired by the fictional monochrome television show from 'Toy Story 2.' The nostalgic dimensions of the film are being honored with added collectibles, such as the 'Toy Story 30th Anniversary Diecast Collection,' featuring heavy figures and original packaging inspired by the characters.

Takara Tomy is not stopping there; they are also releasing a variety of other merchandise, including miniatures inspired by Toy Story characters and chibi versions of favorites like Lotso and aliens dressed as sushi chefs. Each product in this collection is designed to celebrate different aspects of the Toy Story universe, providing fans with a tangible connection to the world they love.
