Pixar has released 29 feature films in 30 years. A 30th, Hoppers, is in theaters now. A 31st, Toy Story 5, lands June 19.
Almost all of it lives on Disney+. The exceptions are the films currently in theatrical or PVOD windows, plus a couple of edge cases on the digital-purchase side.
Here's the complete guide. Updated for May 2026. We'll keep this refreshed as the new films transition to streaming.
Every Pixar Movie in Order
The original run (1995-2009)
Toy Story (1995) — Disney+. The film that started everything. First feature-length entirely computer-animated movie. Still holds up almost 30 years later.
A Bug's Life (1998) — Disney+. Often forgotten, often underrated. The Pixar movie about ants that came out the same year as DreamWorks' Antz.
Toy Story 2 (1999) — Disney+. Originally planned as a direct-to-video sequel until Pixar turned it into a near-masterpiece in under a year. Genuinely better than the original on some days.
Monsters, Inc. (2001) — Disney+. Sully and Mike Wazowski. Pete Docter's first feature as director. The "kid laughter is more powerful than kid screams" twist is the franchise blueprint.
Finding Nemo (2003) — Disney+. Andrew Stanton's first directorial feature. Won Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. The best father-son separation story in any children's film.
The Incredibles (2004) — Disney+. Brad Bird's first Pixar feature. The superhero movie nobody had really pulled off this way before, and the family dynamics are the actual reason it works.
Cars (2006) — Disney+. The most polarizing Pixar movie among the studio's hardcore fans, and the studio's most lucrative property in merchandising. John Lasseter's love letter to Route 66.
Ratatouille (2007) — Disney+. Brad Bird again. The rare animated movie that takes professional cooking seriously. Anton Ego's third-act review is one of the best speeches Pixar has ever written.
WALL-E (2008) — Disney+. Andrew Stanton's masterpiece. The first 30 minutes are basically a silent film. The environmental allegory is heavy and never preachy.
Up (2009) — Disney+. Pete Docter. The opening montage of Carl and Ellie's marriage is the most-cited four minutes in animation history for a reason.
The 2010s
Toy Story 3 (2010) — Disney+. Lee Unkrich's first solo feature direction. The incinerator scene is still upsetting. The ending is still earned.
Cars 2 (2011) — Disney+. The first Pixar misstep. A spy comedy that nobody asked for. The lowest critical reception in studio history at the time.
Brave (2012) — Disney+. Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman. Pixar's first princess movie. The Scottish setting works. The mother-daughter relationship is the heart.
Monsters University (2013) — Disney+. The Monsters Inc. prequel. Better than most thought it would be when announced. Less essential than the original.
Inside Out (2015) — Disney+. Pete Docter again. The high point of mid-2010s Pixar. The emotional architecture of the inside-the-mind concept still hits with adults more than with kids.
The Good Dinosaur (2015) — Disney+. The other 2015 Pixar movie, completely overshadowed by Inside Out. Photorealistic landscapes, broken-family story, quietly underrated.
Finding Dory (2016) — Disney+. Andrew Stanton's Finding Nemo sequel. Better than it had any right to be. Ellen DeGeneres is genuinely heartbreaking in the back half.
Cars 3 (2017) — Disney+. A return to form for the franchise after Cars 2. Owen Wilson handing off to Cristela Alonzo. The most emotional Cars movie.
Coco (2017) — Disney+. Lee Unkrich's last Pixar film. Day of the Dead, Mexican family, music as the connective tissue between the living and the dead. One of the studio's most beautifully designed films.
Incredibles 2 (2018) — Disney+. Fourteen years after the original. Brad Bird returned. Less essential than the first, but the action sequences are sharper.
Toy Story 4 (2019) — Disney+. Josh Cooley's directorial debut. The "Bo Peep returns and reframes the whole franchise" pivot. Divisive ending. The Forky stuff is funnier than most adults will admit.
The pandemic era and after (2020-2024)
Onward (2020) — Disney+. Dan Scanlon. Released just before COVID closed theaters. The Tom Holland and Chris Pratt brother dynamic is the heart of an otherwise uneven film.
Soul (2020) — Disney+. Pete Docter. Originally planned for theatrical release, sent directly to Disney+ during the pandemic. Won Best Animated Feature. The jazz score by Jon Batiste is essential listening.
Luca (2021) — Disney+. Enrico Casarosa. Direct to Disney+ for the same pandemic reason. Italian Riviera, sea creatures who pass for human on land, gentle. One of Pixar's most quietly lovely films.
Turning Red (2022) — Disney+. Domee Shi's first feature. Direct to Disney+. The boy-band-and-puberty-as-red-panda movie. Generational lightning rod when it came out, looks better every year.
Lightyear (2022) — Disney+. Pixar's first theatrical return after the pandemic. The "movie that Andy saw in 1995 that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy" framing. Mixed reception. Underperformed at the box office.
Elemental (2023) — Disney+. Peter Sohn. Started weak at the box office, became a sleeper hit, and ended up being one of the most-streamed films on the platform that year. The metaphor-for-immigrant-families story works because the characters work.
Inside Out 2 (2024) — Disney+. Kelsey Mann's directorial debut. The first Pixar billion-dollar hit since Toy Story 4. Anxiety as a new core emotion. Pop-culture phenomenon.
Currently in theatrical/streaming windows
Elio (2025) — Disney+ (since September 17, 2025). Underperformed in theaters but found an audience on streaming. Adrian Molina and Madeline Sharafian co-directing. About an 11-year-old who gets accidentally drafted as Earth's intergalactic ambassador.
Hoppers (2026) — In theaters since March 6, 2026. Expected on Disney+ around June 3, 2026 (based on Pixar's standard 89-day theatrical window). PVOD purchase available now via Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Daniel Chong directing. Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, and Dave Franco voice the cast. Critical reception has been strong, with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes from both critics and audiences.
Coming soon
Toy Story 5 (June 19, 2026) — Theatrical only at launch. Andrew Stanton directing, Kenna Harris co-directing. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return as Woody and Buzz. Greta Lee voices the new tech-toy antagonist Lilypad. Conan O'Brien voices a new toy called Smarty Pants. The plot pits analog toys against screens and tablets in a kid's room. Expected on Disney+ approximately September 2026 if it follows the standard 89-day window, longer if it's a major hit.
Where Pixar Movies Live by Platform
Disney+: Every Pixar feature film from Toy Story (1995) through Elio (2025) except Hoppers and Toy Story 5, both still in theatrical/PVOD windows as of May 2026.
PVOD (rent or buy): Hoppers (digital purchase available now, Disney+ debut expected June 2026).
Theatrical only: Toy Story 5 (releases June 19, 2026).
Where to Start
If you've never seen a Pixar movie (statistically improbable but possible):
- For kids 5 and up: Toy Story is the foundation. Finding Nemo is a close second.
- For adults wondering what the fuss is about: WALL-E, Up, or Ratatouille.
- For families who can handle emotional stakes: Inside Out, Coco.
If you want the studio's most ambitious work, the Pete Docter trilogy is the answer. Monsters, Inc. → Up → Inside Out. Each was a creative leap. Each won an Oscar. Each redefined what the studio could do.
Pixar Shorts and SparkShorts on Disney+
Disney+ also hosts a substantial library of Pixar shorts:
- The theatrical shorts that played before features (Geri's Game, For the Birds, Lava, and others)
- The SparkShorts program (Float, Bao, Loop, Out, Burrow), which is Pixar's experimental, first-time-director short film series
These are easy to miss when you're scrolling Disney+. Worth a deliberate watch. Many of the studio's most personal stories are in this format, and Bao won Best Animated Short at the 2019 Oscars.
What's Next from Pixar
After Toy Story 5 in June 2026, Pixar's confirmed slate includes:
- An untitled original Pixar film for March 2027
- Incredibles 3 in development with no firm release date yet
- A new original property announced at D23 for late 2027
We'll update this guide as new films hit streaming.
Last updated: May 23, 2026. Disney+ holds the bulk of the Pixar library and we don't expect that to change anytime soon. The transition windows for the newest films are the only moving parts.
