cinemas. The film remained in cinemas up to 37 weeks. The
estimated budget was $30,000,000. Although the movie
earned the top grossing film on its opening it only profited a
disappointing £144,903. The film was distributed by Buena
Vista internationally in the USA and the UK. In addition to
DVD and Blu-Ray releases Toy Story inspired characters
became toys, video games, theme parks attractions,
merchandise and spin offs. Due to the success of the film it
prompted a sequel four years later, Toy Story 2. Both films
were also released as a double feature in Disney Digital 3-D on

Story 3 was released and made a huge $1 billion worldwide.
