Overview
- Toy Story 5 began pre‑release screenings in Mexico on June 17 and opens across Latin America on June 18 before arriving in the United States and Canada on June 19, following a planned staggered rollout.
- The story centers on Lilypad, a smart tablet that competes with classic toys for a child’s attention, and the character is voiced by Greta Lee in the original version with singer Belinda confirmed for the Latin American dub.
- A Mexico City red carpet this week featured original Latin‑American voice actors and regional celebrities, highlighting local dubbing choices and a targeted publicity push for Spanish‑language markets.
- Pixar and partners launched retail and digital tie‑ins tied to the release, including Cinemex collectible combo cups and a hidden Google claw‑machine minigame that appears via search results.
- Early reviews praise the film’s emotional core but show lower aggregator scores than past entries, with Metacritic around 73 and Rotten Tomatoes near 93, renewing discussion about nostalgia, sequel fatigue, and how technology shapes childhood play.
