“Hi there, I’m Lilypad! Let’s play!” Disney & Pixar have unveiled the first look teaser for the Pixar sequel titled Toy Story 5, arriving in theaters for Summer 2026 – a full 31 years after the original Toy Story in 1995. After three other sequels to the original over many years, this time the toys are finally going to deal with the elephant in the room – technology. 😱 Buzz, Woody, Jessie are challenged after being introduced to what kids are obsessed with today: electronics. Essentially in the form of a gaming tablet. The big bid villain is a high-tech frog-shaped smart tablet named Lilypad voiced by Greta Lee. For those of you that don’t have kids, yep these things are real. Conan O’Brien will also be a part of the voice cast as toilet training tech toy, Smarty Pants. All the regulars are back: Tom Hanks returns as ever loyal cowboy Woody, Tim Allen is back as Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack saddles up again as Jessie. And interestingly, Andrew Stanton is directing – he has made plenty of Pixar movies before, but this is his first Toy Story movie for the animation studio. From Toy Story 4 (in 2019), Tony Hale is also back as Forky, and it looks like Bonnie is still taking care of all the toys. An amusing first look intro while we wait for this next year. Say hi to Lilypad.
Here’s the teaser trailer for Andrew Stanton & Kenna Harris’ sequel Toy Story 5, direct from YouTube:
“It’s been a hilarious and poignant journey exploring how our favorite team of legacy toys might respond to today’s world of technology, and we’re thrilled to share this first glimpse with audiences. Having the remarkably talented Greta Lee bring Lilypad to life — balancing a playfully antagonistic tone with humor and heart — has been incredible.” –Co-directors Andrew Stanton & Kenna Harris
In Toy Story 5, we’re introduced to a new character Lilypad, a high-tech frog-shaped smart tablet voiced by Greta Lee that makes Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs exponentially harder when they have to go head to head with the all-new threat to playtime. Tom Hanks returns as ever loyal cowboy Woody, Tim Allen reports for duty as Buzz Lightyear, Joan Cusack saddles up again as the rootin’ tootin’ cowgirl Jessie. It was recently announced that Conan O’Brien will also be a part of the voice cast as toilet training tech toy, Smarty Pants. Pixar’s Toy Story 5 is directed by American filmmaker Andrew Stanton, director of the movies A Bug’s Life, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, John Carter, Finding Dory, and eps of “Stranger Things”, “Tales from the Loop”, “For All Mankind”, and “3 Body Problem” recently. Co-directed by Kenna Harris (of Ciao Alberto). The screenplay is also written by Andrew Stanton. Produced by Lindsey Collins (Turning Red, Wall-E, Finding Dory). Made by Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, CA. Disney debuts Pixar’s Toy Story 5 movie in theaters worldwide starting June 19th, 2026 next summer. First impression?
