Which company distributed Pixar’s Toy Story 4 in the United States?

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributed Pixar’s Toy Story 4 in the United States.

Toy Story 4 was released theatrically in the United States on June 21, 2019. Pixar produced the film, while Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures handled its theatrical distribution. This distinction matters because Pixar is the animation studio responsible for making the film, whereas Disney’s distribution unit brought it to cinemas.

The film was directed by Josh Cooley and produced by Jonas Rivera and Mark Nielsen. It continues the story after Toy Story 3, following Woody as he protects Forky and reconnects with Bo Peep.

Disney acquired Pixar in 2006, several years before Toy Story 4 was released. As a result, Pixar features released after the acquisition were distributed through Disney, although Pixar retained its separate studio identity and creative leadership within the wider company.
