The lily pad is the villain in the brand new Toy Story film, and Buzz and Woody have teamed up yet again to fight it. The trailer for Toy Story 5 was unveiled on Friday.
Bonnie, the owner of the toys, has been gifted a gaming console-like tablet named Lilypad, which shifts her focus from the toys. Jesse laments about taking efforts all summer to make Bonnie make some friends, but for all to be in vain after the advent of the Lilypad. Further, Woody also realises that more and more toys are being abandoned by their little owners and thereby makes the call to do something about these technological devices. Thereby, Woody, Buzz, Jesse and the gang of human-like toys unite to fight against technological overpowering.
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, Jesse, 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 on June 19, 2026.
