Conan O’Brien Joins Toy Story 5

by

Comedian Conan O’Brien is set to take on an enigmatic part in the upcoming Toy Story 5, joining the cast of this much-anticipated Pixar sequel. Directed by Andrew Stanton, known for his work on Finding Nemo and WALL-E, the film was revealed about a year ago and will delve into the lives of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and other beloved Toy Story characters as they navigate the expanding realm of technology. Conan O’Brien, who has hosted numerous hit talk shows like “Conan” and lent his voice to characters in The Simpsons and The Lego Batman Movie as The Riddler, will be contributing his comedic talent to this new project.

Following the initial announcement at Disney’s Licensing Expo, Eric O’Brien has since confirmed on Instagram that he will be a part of Toy Story 5, playing the character Smarty Pants. However, further details about the role are still undisclosed. The comedian expressed his enthusiasm for the film and hinted that Smarty Pants is the most remarkable character, even though he previously joked about wanting to voice Woody or Buzz.

Eric O’Brien recently confirmed on Instagram that he will join Toy Story 5 as the character Smarty Pants, a role he’s excited about and teased as “the best one yet,” after joking he wanted to voice Woody or Buzz. Additional details regarding his role are scarce, but the movie is eagerly anticipated following its initial announcement at Disney’s Licensing Expo. You can see his post below:

What This Means For Toy Story 5

There Will Be More New Characters

In the upcoming sequel, Woody and Buzz, voiced by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, will return. However, it’s uncertain how Smarty Pants will interact with these classic characters. Given Kevin O’Brien’s past acting roles and comedic background, he may make a significant impact on the franchise as Smarty Pants. Since Toy Story 5 delves into technology and electronic devices, there might be more new characters introduced, as well as familiar toys such as Combat Carl, now played by Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson following the passing of original voice actor Carl Weathers.

In the ongoing adventures of Toy Story, new characters like Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, and others such as Gabby Gabby, Duke Caboom, and even the once villainous Lotso (a distinctive stuffed bear) have been introduced, making it challenging to foresee the impact of a character like Smarty Pants. The excitement around these new characters was palpable when Toy Story 4 hit the screens, with audiences especially fond of Forky, a plastic utensil Bonnie crafted, and the toys found at a carnival and antique store.

Our Take On The Toy Story 5 Casting

Conan O’Brien Could Bring A Lot Of Humor

As a movie enthusiast, I’m genuinely thrilled about the news that Conan O’Brien is joining the cast of Toy Story 5, also known as Smarty Pants. His knack for comedy makes him an ideal fit alongside the already adored crew of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Annie Potts, and others. With many aspects of his character yet to be revealed, I believe O’Brien will undoubtedly inject some humor into Smarty Pants, and it’ll be fascinating to observe audience reactions. If Smartypants turns out to have a significant role in Toy Story 5, there’s a strong chance he could steal the show and win over many new fans.
