Hollywood movie sequels with the longest gaps; 'Toy Story', 'Star Wars' and more

Hollywood movie makers seemingly love making fans wait for their movie sequels. But sometimes, the gap between a film and its sequel can get too long. This either works out or these sequels just lose the touch with aging. Check out these Hollywood movie sequels with the longest gap.

Toy Story 2 - Toy Story 3 (10 Years)

When Toy Story 3 was announced the makers were questioned for their decision. Not only because the sequels had almost ten years of the gap but people thought another would just ruin the impact of the previous films. However, Pixar tended into that disillusionment and crafted a masterpiece about growing up and leaving the past behind.

However, the sequel, Dumb and Dumber To couldn't impress the critics and grossed a deep $169 million - $78 million, which was less than the original.

However, Part III ended up earning an Oscar nomination for Best Picture but reviews were mixed back then, and the film has since then been deemed a major disappointment by both fans and critics.
