Bad Bunny Joins Toy Story 5 as "Pizza with Sunglasses"

Pixar frames the film as a clash between classic toys and a smart tablet to broaden its global audience through celebrity casting.

Overview

  • Pixar and Disney officially announced on Tuesday that Bad Bunny will voice a new character called Pizza with Sunglasses in Toy Story 5.
  • The studio released the film’s final trailer in late May and set a mid‑June theatrical run, with a U.S. release scheduled for June 19 and regional presales already open in some markets.
  • The trailer and studio summaries position the central conflict around a smart tablet named Lilypad that threatens the role of traditional toys in Bonnie’s life.
  • Toy Story 5 reunites core franchise voices including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack and adds cameos such as Alan Cumming as Evil Bullseye.
  • Pixar’s casting of a global music star and reports that Bad Bunny will record in both English and Spanish aim to reach younger and international audiences and tie the movie’s marketing to current debates about screen time and play.
