Toy Story 4 is out later this year and it's expected to be one of the hits of the summer.

The first Toy Story film came out more than 23 years ago.

It's one of the most successful film franchises of all time, making almost £2 billion at the box office.

But, what was life like when Toy Story first hit our screens in 1996? Here's our entertainment round-up...

It was a really bad year for fans of Take That. The boy-band decided to break-up after five years of success. Fans were so upset that a telephone helpline had to be set up. They finished off with a cover of the Bee Gees' "How Deep is your Love".

Life post-Take That was pretty good for Robbie Williams, but not so great for Gary Barlow. And, as I'm sure you already know, they came back in 2006 and did alright...

Football fever took over as the 1996 European Championships came to England. Comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner teamed up with a band called "The Lightning Seeds" to release a song called "Three Lions".

As England got further into the tournament, the song became a staple for football fans in the stands. Two years later, it would reach number one in the charts and it even made a bit of a comeback last summer during the 2018 World Cup. It's coming home, isn't it?

The year belonged to the Spice Girls, who kick started their career and girl power in general with three number one singles including the million-selling "Wannabe". It stayed at number one for seven weeks!

Nintendo launched the first ever Nintendo 64 console. It was the new gadget everyone wanted.

The world also said hello to little hand-held devices called Tamagotchis. They were virtual pets that you had to feed and basically try and keep alive.

The internet was still pretty new to people and only approximately 1% of the world's population had access to it. AOL was the biggest website around.

The first ever DVDs launched in Japan.

In July, Dolly the sheep became the first mammal to be successfully cloned.

The Olympic Games were in Atlanta and the British team weren't very good. Rowers Matthew Pinsent and Steve Redgrave brought home Britain's only gold medal.

As you might have read above, England hosted the European Football Championships in 1996. They made it to the semi-final (sounds familiar) before being knocked out on penalties by Germany.

The current England manager, Gareth Southgate missed the crucial last penalty. He then bizarrely featured in a Pizza Hut advert making fun of the miss. Who would have thought he'd become a national treasure?

Independence Day featuring Will Smith was the most popular film of 1996, making almost £800 million at the box office.

It was also the first time we got introduced to Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible.

And, obviously Toy Story was released in the UK. It wasn't the only big-hitting animation that year either. Disney released the Hunchback of Notre Dame and 101 Dalmatians.

England footballer Dele Alli was born in 1996. As was pop star Lorde and supermodel Bella Hadid.

Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, was born in 1996 too, as was his co-star, Zendaya.
