Toy Story 5 Set for Disney+ Release on Sept. 23

The three-month rollout from theaters to home release is positioned to turn the film’s $1.1 billion box-office success into streaming and physical-sales engagement.

Overview

  • Disney and Pixar announced on Thursday that Toy Story 5 will begin streaming on Disney+ on September 23, following a 4K UHD/Blu-ray release on September 22 and a digital purchase window that opened on August 18.
  • The film grossed roughly $1.1–$1.13 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing unadjusted entry in the Toy Story franchise and one of the top box-office performers of 2026.
  • Andrew Stanton directed with Kenna Harris as co-director, and principal voice actors Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack return while Greta Lee debuts as Lilypad alongside new cast members such as Conan O’Brien and Craig Robinson.
  • A piano-version music video for Taylor Swift’s original song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” featuring footage from the film, is now available on Disney+ and major music platforms ahead of the streaming premiere.
  • The staggered window—three months in theaters, then paid digital, a collector-focused physical release, and finally Disney+—follows Disney’s recent rollout pattern and aims to capture both collectors and subscribers while reaching global markets including India via JioHotstar.
