Pixar has struggled to rebound from Bob Chapek’s time as Disney CEO. During the pandemic, he chose to bolster Disney+’s offerings by sending the studio’s new movies straight to streaming, either as part of its “Premier Access” service\u00a0or as free titles for subscribers.<\/p>\n

Bouncing back hasn’t been easy for Pixar, but returning to what works\u2014sequels and pre-established franchises\u2014has proven beneficial for the studio.\u00a0Inside Out 2\u00a0made $1.699 billion compared to\u00a0Elio’s $154 million, though Elemental managed to exceed expectations after a slow start.<\/p>\n

This summer will see the release of\u00a0Toy Story 5, a franchise that’s consistently brought the Disney-owned studio critical acclaim and box office success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We didn’t get a new trailer at the Super Bowl this past Sunday, but a new international poster has been released (via Toonado.com<\/a>), putting Bonnie’s favourite toys front and centre.<\/p>\n

Alongside the villainous Lilypad, we see the newly created\u00a0Atlas, Smarty Pants, and Snappy. There’s also Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Mr. Potato Head, Rex, Bullseye, and Slinky Dog. Forky and Knifey, meanwhile, are seemingly getting married based on their new attire!\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s a fun status quo shift for Forky and his love interest, who first appeared in Toy Story 4’s post-credits scene.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, a new trailer will follow this poster because it would be good to get a better idea of what to expect from the next Toy Story movie. One thing we do know is that Jessie is expected to lead this fifth instalment.<\/p>\n

Toy Story 5\u00a0introduces\u00a0Lilypad, a high-tech, frog-shaped smart tablet voiced by Greta Lee (TRON: Ares) that makes Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs exponentially harder when they go head-to-head with this all-new threat to playtime.<\/p>\n

Tom Hanks returns as the ever-loyal cowboy Woody, Tim Allen reports for duty as Buzz Lightyear, Joan Cusack saddles up again as the rootin’-tootin’\u00a0cowgirl Jessie, and Tony Hale is back as the voice of the handcrafted toy Forky.<\/p>\n

It’s been confirmed that former late-night host Conan O’Brien will also join the voice cast as the toilet training tech toy, Smarty Pants.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the first trailer was released,\u00a0Andrew Stanton and co-director Kenna Harris said,\u00a0“It\u2019s been a hilarious and poignant journey exploring how our favorite team of legacy toys might respond to today\u2019s world of technology, and we\u2019re thrilled to share this first glimpse with audiences.”<\/p>\n

“Having the remarkably talented Greta Lee bring Lilypad to life \u2014 balancing a playfully antagonistic tone with humor and heart \u2014 has been incredible,”\u00a0they added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toy Story 5\u00a0is directed by Academy Award\u00a0winner Andrew Stanton (WALL\u2022E,\u00a0Finding Nemo,\u00a0Finding Dory), co-directed by Kenna Harris (Ciao Alberto) and produced by Lindsey Collins (Turning Red,\u00a0WALL\u2022E,\u00a0Finding Dory).<\/p>\n

The animated adventure releases in theaters nationwide on June 19, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
