Pixar’s Toy Story 5 announced & new details revealed

The Toy Story movies have captured the imaginations of fans all over the world and Pixar has revealed a very big detail about the fifth film which comes out in 2026.

Disney first announced that the lovable “Toy Story” gang, including Woody, Buzz and Jessie, would be returning to the big screen last year, nearly three decades after the first film which was released back in 1996. Now, they have shared that there will be a new villain in Toy Story 5 – Lilypad – a tablet who wants all the attention from Bonnie, who is the new owner of Andy’s famous toys.

Lilypad’s introduction likely comes as technology is being increasingly used by children, and Pixar wanting to show the difference between traditional and modern ‘toys.’

While most of the film’s details are still unknown, it seems that it’s set to be an epic showdown between toys and technology. Pixar has released some new artwork which features the troublesome tablet along with Buzz Lightyear, Jessie the cowgirl, and Jessie’s loveable horse Bullseye.

Tom Hanks will be returning as Woody, Tim Allen will be back as Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack will voice Jesse again. There will also be some new characters, including “Smarty Pants,” played by TV host and comedian Conan O’Brien.
