Levi’s Returns to the Super Bowl With ‘Backstory’ Ad Featuring Toy Story’s Woody

A surprise Woody cameo extends the fall Levi’s–DisneyPixar tie‑in through a crossover quickly amplified by the Toy Story X account.

Overview

  • Levi’s aired “Backstory” during Super Bowl LX, marking the brand’s first Super Bowl commercial in more than two decades.
  • The spot centers on a playful “view from behind,” stitching together a montage of denim-clad backsides as its visual hook.
  • Toy Story’s Sheriff Woody appears early in the ad wearing jeans with the signature red Levi’s tab.
  • Toy Story’s official X account promoted the commercial shortly after it aired, sharing the video and driving social visibility.
  • The cameo builds on last fall’s Levi’s–DisneyPixar 30th‑anniversary Toy Story collection, which featured Western‑inspired denim with character patches.
