Pixar Drops Final Toy Story 5 Trailer and Opens Tickets for June Theatrical Release

The trailer frames a tech‑focused story about toys fighting for a child’s attention and sets a wide theatrical push that tests Pixar’s box‑office rebound.

Overview

  • Disney and Pixar released the final trailer and put tickets on sale Tuesday, May 26, confirming a U.S. theatrical opening on June 19 with previews June 18.
  • The footage centers on a frog‑shaped smart tablet called Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee, that draws Bonnie’s attention and forces Jessie to lead the toys’ response.
  • Pixar announced new cast additions in the trailer rollout, including Bad Bunny as Pizza with Sunglasses, Alan Cumming as Evil Bullseye in a playtime sequence, Conan O’Brien and Craig Robinson among others.
  • Director Andrew Stanton and co‑director Kenna Harris highlighted creative changes that include Woody’s updated design meant to signal aging and identity, and the team said human artists — not generative AI — produced the film.
  • The studio paired the trailer with multiple posters promoting premium formats such as IMAX, Dolby and ScreenX as part of a broad marketing push aimed at driving box‑office returns and reconnecting the franchise with young audiences.
