Who holds the merchandising rights for toy story?

The Wikipedia entry for Toy Story gives details about its production, direction, screenwriting, cast and plot, but it makes no mention of licensing or merchandising arrangements. Consequently, from the information supplied we cannot identify the company or individual that controls the rights to produce and sell toys and other merchandise based on the film. In the film industry it is common for a studio such as Disney, which owns Pixar, to handle licensing, but that is not confirmed by the evidence at hand. Without a reliable source that explicitly names the rights holder, any statement would be speculative. If you need a definitive answer, consult official Disney or Pixar licensing documents or reputable industry reports that cover Toy Story’s merchandise agreements.
