Short answers, pulled from the story.
Toy Story, released on the 22nd of November, 1995, was the first feature-length film made entirely using computer-generated imagery. John Lasseter directed it, and Lasseter received a Special Achievement Award from the Academy for the development and application of the techniques that made the film possible. It was also the first animated film ever nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
The main Toy Story films, produced on a total budget of $720 million, have grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide. This makes the franchise the 21st highest-grossing film franchise worldwide and the fourth highest-grossing animated franchise of all time.
Toy Story 2 was originally planned as a direct-to-video sequel with a 60-minute running time. Disney's executives changed course after being impressed by the quality of footage already in production, and voice actors Tom Hanks and Tim Allen also pushed for a theatrical release. The film went on to gross over $497 million worldwide.
Toy Story 3, released on the 18th of June, 2010, was the first animated film to cross the $1 billion mark. It also held the record as the highest-grossing animated film of all time from August 2010 until Frozen surpassed it in March 2014.
The franchise has won multiple Academy Awards across its films. Toy Story 3 won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, while Toy Story 4 also won Best Animated Feature, making the series the first animated franchise to win that prize twice. Both films also received additional nominations including Best Picture for Toy Story 3.
The Debian Linux distribution takes its version codenames from Toy Story characters. This tradition began because Bruce Perens worked at Pixar Animation Studios during the early development of Debian.
