Or even more casually:
Monday marked the announcement that Conan O’Brien will be voicing a new character called Smarty Pants in ‘Toy Story 5’. Andrew Stanton is directing, with co-director McKenna Harris, and Jessica Choi producing.
Each of these versions maintains the original information while using slightly different phrasing to make it more natural and easy to read.
The fifth installment of Toy Story, titled “Toy Story 5,” is scheduled for a theater release on June 19, 2026. As of now, specifics about the plot remain undisclosed; however, it’s expected that the storyline will revolve around the toys grappling with modern children’s preference for electronic gadgets.
The “Toy Story” series debuted with its first Pixar movie back in 1995, introducing us to cowboy character Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, and space explorer Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen. The fourth installment of the franchise, “Toy Story 4,” was released in 2019, earning over $1 billion at the worldwide box office and winning an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
The announcement for the casting was made during Disney’s Licensing Expo presentation, and O’Brien subsequently confirmed it on Instagram. In a video message, he expressed his excitement about the project, saying “These films are incredible! I can hardly believe it.” He playfully declared that his character is superior to Woody or Buzz: “It’s the best role of them all.

In February 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger unveiled plans for Toy Story 5, following the subpar performance of the franchise spinoff Lightyear (featuring Chris Evans as the human character who inspired the toy) at its summer release.
Last year during an interview with Collider, I was thrilled to hear Allen hinting that the upcoming movie boasts a mind-blowingly smart plot. He went on to say that if the script hadn’t been absolutely brilliant, they wouldn’t have made the film and invited Tom Hanks and me onboard. It’s truly a clever piece of work!
After achieving immense success with “Inside Out 2,” being the top-grossing movie of 2024, Pixar is now gearing up for another space exploration tale titled “Elio.” This anticipated production is scheduled to hit theaters on June 20.
More to come.
