What's next?
Besides Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D (later this year), there's Toy Story 3 (July 2010), where Andy goes to college and only takes Woody with him, with the rest of the gang ending up going second-hand to a kindergarten. Fortunately for Buzz and co, Woody comes back to save them. It's what he does. 
Cars 2 (Summer 2011) sees Lightning McQueen and Mater travelling across the world for a international Grand Prix and somehow getting wrapped up in a spy story involving a secret agent-cum-Aston Martin called, brilliantly, Finn McMissile.
The Bear and the Bow (Winter 2011) stars Reese Witherspoon, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson and Julie Walters in a story about a young Scottish princess (Winterspoon) who renounces her family and decides to become... an archer. Nope, we didn't see that one coming either. Further out: Newt and Monsters Inc. 2
Interesting fact
The company only moved into making animations after creating shorts to demonstrate the power of the hardware they made, ('The Pixar Image Computer'), and so Luxo Jr was born.
