The biggest threat to Buzz, Jessie and all the other humanely toys is not yet another toy. This time it is a gaming console-like non-living gadget. The teaser trailer for Toy Story 5 introduces a brand new twist by making eight-year-old Bonnie's obsession and the toys' competition a frog-like tablet named Lilypad.
The teaser trailer starts by showing a new parcel arriving at Bonnie's house, as his mother asks him to open and check it. Rex, Slinky Dog, Knifey and Forky, jittering with nervousness. As Mr and Mrs Potato Head are also curious about the contents of the package, the former removes the eyes of the latter. Jessie is equally frightened to know of their competitor, as Bonnie introduces the Lilypad. Notably, Woody and Buzz are missing from the teaser trailer.
Toy Story 5 marks a new chapter for the beloved franchise. Directed by Andrew Stanton (WALL-E, Finding Nemo) with co-direction from McKenna Harris, the film explores a modern theme: the clash between classic toys and the digital age. The storyline sees Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the gang confronted by new tech-savvy toys as kids’ interests shift toward electronics.
Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and several other original cast members will reprise their roles, joined by newcomers Anna Faris, Ernie Hudson, Conan O'Brien, and Greta Lee. Toy Story 5 is produced by Jessica Choi and executive produced by Pete Docter.
Toy Story 5 is set to release in June, 2026.
