The next installment in the Toy Story franchise will see Buzzy, Woody, and the rest of Andy’s toys confronted by the digital age as kids become more reliant on technological devices like tablets and smartphones.<\/p>\n

At this past weekend’s D23 Event, fans were treated to a first look at a couple of new characters set to make their debut, including Smarty Pants- a potty training toy and the kids’ tablet LilyPad, which will serve as the film’s primary antagonist.<\/p>\n

The film will also see an army of Buzz Lightyears\u00a0that, similar to the original, don’t realize they’re toys and are looking to find a way back to Star Command.<\/p>\n

Previously, Buzz voice actor Tim Allen shared that Toy Story 5 will see Jessie the cowgirl take on more of a central role.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Allen previously teased<\/a>, “I can tell you that it\u2019s a lot about Jessie. Tom [Hanks] and I do \u2014 Woody and I \u2014 do realign. And there\u2019s an unbelievable opening scene with Buzz Lightyears. I can give you that, but I can\u2019t give you much more.”<\/p>\n

At last year’s D23, director Andrew Stanton also teased, “Andrew Stanton revealed some of the first details about the film, telling the audience, “Through the experiences of these toys, we’ve all learned about loyalty, belonging, and friendship. These characters have given us a unique perspective on growing up and navigating life.”<\/p>\n

“And in all of the Toy Story films, the job of the toys is to be there for their kid, and with Toy Story 5, the toy’s job gets exponentially harder when our toy group goes head-to-head with what kids are obsessed with today- electronics!”<\/p>\n

Toy Story 5 currently has\u00a0 a June 19, 2026 release date, where he will compete with Masters of the Universe (June 05),\u00a0 Supergirl (June 26), and Mega Minions (July 01).<\/p>\n
