Disney and Pixar released the official ‘Toy Story 5’ trailer
Cowboys against technology.
Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 has officially received its first full-length trailer, marking the long-awaited return of the iconic animated franchise. Following the bittersweet ending of the previous chapter, the new film thrusts Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of the gang into a modern-day dilemma as they grapple with the increasing dominance of digital screens.
The official trailer provides the first glimpse into the changing dynamics of playtime, confirming that the iconic characters are stepping straight into the digital age to reclaim Bonnie’s imagination.
The main conflict of the new film revolves around Bonnie’s shift of focus to Lilypad, a sleek, frog-themed smart tablet voiced by Greta Lee. Rather than portraying technology as the traditional villain, director Andrew Stanton presents the story as an existential journey for the toys as they try to overcome obsolescence in a world full of gadgets.
Trailer images reveal subtle updates to classic characters, including a small bald spot and Woody’s poncho, emphasizing the inevitability of time passing even for animated heroes.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return to their roles, and the film is directed by Andrew Stanton, the director of WALL-E and Finding Nemo. Judging by the trailer, we’re in for an exciting return of Woody and a discussion about how technology is changing childhood.
The animated film will premiere in theaters on June 19, 2026.
