As a long-time fan of Pixar and the Toy Story franchise, I’m both thrilled and nostalgic about the prospect of another adventure for Buzz, Woody, and the rest of Bonnie’s playthings. Growing up with these beloved characters has been an integral part of my own life experience, and their stories have brought joy, laughter, and even tears to countless generations.
As a child of the late 90s, I grew up with Toy Story being a significant part of my formative years. The first film, released in 1995, was nothing short of revolutionary for its time – it was the very first feature-length film made entirely out of computer-generated graphics. The fact that it didn’t win the Best Animated Feature Oscar that year is still a mystery to me, as I believe it set the bar for what animation could be.
Each supporter of the “Toy Story” series has their personal reason for considering their preferred film the finest installment yet. Yet, it’s safe to say that most people would concur that all “Toy Story” films are deserving of being ranked among the best children’s movies ever made. Why? The adventures of Woody, Buzz, and their toy pals resonate not only with kids but also tap into the childlike spirit in grown-up viewers. So, what can we anticipate from “Toy Story 5“? For now, let’s delve deeper into this upcoming Disney production by exploring all the known details in the following guide.
What Is The Toy Story 5 Release Date?
Currently, Toy Story 5 is scheduled to premiere in theaters on June 19, 2026. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney made this announcement publicly in April 2024, over a year after CEO Bob Iger first mentioned the sequel during a press event in February 2023.
For those eagerly anticipating the release of a scheduled movie in 2024 or aiming for a spot on the 2025 lineup, our sincere apologies. But try to look at it this way: The film is just a few more years from reaching the big screen, and considering it will be seven years since “Toy Story 4,” it’s actually a relatively short wait compared to the previous installments. For instance, we had to endure an eleven-year gap between “Toy Story 3” and its fourth chapter, while the second one came out only four years after the original.
Who Is In The Toy Story 5 Cast?
To date, Disney has not officially announced which actors will reprise their roles for the upcoming “Toy Story 5.” However, it’s been reported that Tom Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner, and Tim Allen, an Emmy nominee, have been approached to voice Woody and Buzz Lightyear once more. During a recent interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Allen shared this information, having previously expressed his willingness to return for another installment back in 2019.
It’s hard to fathom why Annie Potts, whose rekindled connection with Woody was a significant element in “Toy Story 4,” wouldn’t return as Bo Peep. We eagerly anticipate Joan Cusack’s return as Jessie, John Ratzenberger as Ham, Wallace Shawn as Rex, and Blake Clark as Slinky. Additionally, we look forward to seeing more of Tony Hale as Forky and the new characters introduced in “Toy Story 4,” including Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom, and Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key voicing Bunny and Ducky.
Unfortunately, Don Rickles and Estelle Harris, who have sadly passed away, won’t be able to reprise their roles as Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head in future Pixar films. The company may use previously recorded audio clips of these comedic legends instead.
What Toy Story 5 Is About
As a dedicated gamer excitedly awaiting the release of Toy Story 5, I can’t help but ponder over the intriguing plot twists that are yet to be revealed. Although the heartfelt conclusion of Toy Story 4 offers a hint of what’s to come, the specifics of Woody’s next journey remain shrouded in mystery.
As a passionate gamer and huge Toy Story fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating what could come next in this beloved series. Rumors have been swirling around about the potential plot of Toy Story 5, with ScreenRant suggesting some intriguing possibilities. One theory has Woody unintentionally joining a new family at the carnival, while another sees Buzz getting stolen and reunited with Woody’s lost toys.
Andrew Stanton Is Reportedly Directing Toy Story 5
Although an officially announced director for Toy Story 5’s production hasn’t been confirmed yet, there are rumors that Andrew Stanton might be directing it. This information was first shared on X by The Monty Verse, a blog that attended a special screening of Pixar’s recent release, Inside Out 2. During the Q&A session with Pixar COO Pete Docter, he reportedly hinted at Stanton being the director for the upcoming film.
If this news is accurate, it signifies another significant milestone in Stanton’s impressive filmmaking journey. Kicking off with his first full-length feature in 1998, “A Bug’s Life,” he went on to create beloved classics like “Finding Nemo” (winning Oscars for both in 2003) and “WALL-E” (another Oscar win in 2008). Stanton then ventured into live-action with “John Carter” in 2012. More recently, he directed episodes for hit TV shows such as “Stranger Things” and “Better Call Saul.” An upcoming sci-fi project titled “In the Blink of an Eye” adds to his diverse portfolio.
How To Watch The Toy Story Movies So Far
As a dedicated gamer of the Toy Story universe, I’m excited about the upcoming fifth movie in the series. However, it’s essential to clarify that this installment will actually be the sixth full-length adventure if we include the 2022 spin-off, “Lightyear.” In this film, Chris Evans lent his voice to the Space Ranger character instead of Tim Allen. To stay updated with all the Toy Story saga twists and turns, subscribe to Disney+ and watch “Lightyear,” as well as the first four movies and related shorts and TV specials. This way, you’ll be fully prepared for the latest cinematic adventure when it premieres in theaters.

Many Toy Story fans are not thrilled about the prospect of a fifth movie, preferring to see the third film’s heartwarming ending as the definitive finale. In Toy Story 3, college-aged Andy gave his toys to Bonnie, creating a sentimental and seemingly perfect conclusion. However, Pixar’s intentions for Toy Story 5 appear to come from a place of genuine passion, making us look forward to more adventures with our beloved characters.
