Toy Story 5 is OUT! Here are some records broken by the franchise and its fans
Are you a Toy Story fan?
Toy Story 5 is out in cinemas, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch it!
It is the latest movie in Pixar’s revolutionary series, which focuses on Bonnie Anderson, now 8 years old, and like many youngsters these days, obsessed with her tablet.
Can you relate?
Worried that they’ll lose Bonnie to her new electronic device, the toys recruit their long-time friend Woody and set out on a mission to ensure she doesn’t stop playing with them!

So to celebrate, let’s take a look at some Toy Story world records…
First of all, did you know that when the first movie came out back in November 1995, it made history as the first feature-length computer-animated movie?
In fact, it is also the first Pixar film, and it took 4 YEARS to make given how time-consuming computer animation was back then.
The animators had to create a total of 114,240 frames, each of which would take anywhere between 45 minutes to 30 hours!
And in 2010, Toy Story 3 became the first animated film to gross $1 billion.
WOW!
Fans of the franchise also broke some epic world records, like Lim Kai Yi from Malaysia, GWR’s youngest serial record holder. He achieved the fastest time to assemble Mr. Potato Head (blindfolded) in just 9.27 seconds!
If you love Toy Story, then you’ll definitely recognize the iconic toy.
As if breaking one record wasn’t enough, a day later, he achieved the (team of two) version of the same record title with Tey E Fund, also from Malaysia, in 8.37 seconds.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
More recently, on 3 January 2026, Singaporean speedcuber Calen Seah recorded the fastest time to assemble Mr. Potato Head – 4.63 seconds.
He was only 15 when he did it and he spent over a year practising, hoping that his rapid speedcubing skills would work to his advantage – and they did!
He believes he must have assembled his potato pal over 400 times during training.
Here is what he told us: “I used to watch Guinness World Records videos as a child, even before I began speedcubing on YouTube, and I always imagined what it would be like to actually be able to get a world record for myself.”
How fast can YOU assemble a Mr. Potato Head? Give it a try!
