Overview
- Pixar will release Toy Story 5 in U.S. theaters on June 19, 2026, with Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack returning to their signature roles.
- Reviewers at the Los Angeles premiere, Tuesday, praised the film as emotional, funny and a return to form for the series.
- The story pivots on Lilypad, a frog‑shaped smart tablet voiced by Greta Lee, which pulls Bonnie toward screens and forces the toys to respond to a changing childhood.
- The studio rolled out a broad campaign that includes a Disney+ and Hulu preview scene, new teasers showcasing the Multi‑Buzz set piece, park tie‑ins and merchandise ahead of the release.
- By centering Jessie and reuniting Woody and Buzz, the film uses decades of franchise history to probe aging, loss and screen time, a theme that could influence how family films handle technology and legacy sequels.
