In a private showing, Pixar’s Co-Head, Pete Docter, offered a sneak peek into the next chapter of the beloved Toy Story saga, which is the fifth installment in the extended animated film franchise.
What are the new Toy Story 5 details?
During a recent talk held in New York City, Doctor revealed additional details concerning the movie’s plot. In this story, Bonnie – the toy’s owner – is growing up, currently being eight years old. She aspires for stronger social connections and seeks to create friendships in unique manners.
The character introduced recently is named Lily Pad, resembling a tablet encased in a frog case. Capable of speech, it offers various perspectives on supporting Bonnie as traditional toys grapple with their relevance in a world increasingly dominated by electronics. While the voice actor for Lily Pad remains unidentified, earlier reports suggest that Anna Faris will lend her voice to an unspecified role in the film.
In times of disagreements, the toys turn to their longtime pal Woody for assistance. However, Woody and Buzz hold differing opinions regarding helping Bonnie. Eventually, Mr. Potato Head expresses his delight at witnessing their squabbles once more.
In the initial scene of the movie shown by Dr., a Buzz Lightyear toy is seen waking up on an island. As he looks around, he realizes he’s surrounded by numerous Buzz Lightyear toys, seemingly salvaged from a wrecked ship. Stranded, these Buzz Lightyears gaze towards the sky, believing they see Star Command. They then embark on a collective journey into the unknown. During D23, Pixar disclosed that this horde of Buzz Lightyears will serve as the antagonists in the movie.
Andrew Stanton, who has previously directed movies like Finding Nemo and Wall-E, will direct Toy Story 5. He also penned the script for this upcoming film. The original voices behind Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), and Jessie (Joan Cusack) will be back. Tony Hale will continue his role as Forky from the last movie, while Conan O’Brien joins the cast as a new character called Smarty Pants. Ernie Hudson steps into the shoes of Combat Carl, replacing Carl Weathers in this role.
It is currently set to arrive in theaters on June 19, 2026.
