On what date did Toy Story open in United States theaters?

Toy Story opened in United States theaters on November 22, 1995.

The release made Pixar's first feature film available to the public during the Thanksgiving holiday period. Disney distributed the film, while Pixar produced the computer animation. Its release followed years of development and production work on a story about toys that secretly come to life when humans are absent.

The date is sometimes confused with the film's premiere date or with its international releases, which occurred later. It is also separate from the dates of Toy Story 2, released in 1999, and Toy Story 3, released in 2010.

Toy Story became a major commercial and critical success, establishing Pixar as a leading feature-animation studio. Its theatrical opening was an important milestone in animation history because audiences were seeing a feature made entirely with computer-generated imagery.
