Toy Story 5 Teaser: Woody and Buzz Encounter New Tech Threat

Pixar Unveils First Teaser for Toy Story 5

Pixar has officially released its first teaser trailer for the much-anticipated Toy Story 5, set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026. This latest entry promises to throw Woody and Buzz into a whirlwind of new challenges that blend confusion and humor.

The New Threat: Lilypad

In the teaser, fans are introduced to a frog-shaped smart tablet named Lilypad, which fundamentally alters the toys' interactions with their human companions. According to Pixar, this high-tech gadget poses a significant challenge as it complicates the toys' roles during playtime, adding an inexplicable twist to their adventures.

Cast and Crew

Returning to lend their voices are fan favorites:

• Tom Hanks as Woody
• Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear
• Joan Cusack as Jessie
• Blake Clark as Slinky Dog
• Tony Hale as Forky

New to the lineup, Greta Lee voices Lilypad, while Conan O'Brien makes his debut as a new character named Smarty Pants.

Creative visionary Andrew Stanton, renowned for classics like Finding Nemo and WALL-E, takes the reins as director and screenwriter, continuing his legacy with the franchise.

A Legacy of Popularity

Since the release of the original Toy Story in 1995—the first full-length computer-animated feature—this beloved franchise has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Previous entries, Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4, grossed over a billion dollars each and won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature.

Even though Pixar's box office results have varied recently, with titles like Elio earning a modest $152 million globally, the Toy Story series remains a cornerstone of Pixar's success, with high expectations set for the upcoming film. For context, Inside Out 2 outperformed previous releases by earning over $1.5 billion in 2024.

Future Projects

As fans eagerly await Toy Story 5, Pixar is also preparing to release an original film titled Hoppers in March 2026. However, the excitement for Woody, Buzz, and the gang’s newest adventure cannot be overstated as they navigate the complexities of modern technology.
