Just when we thought we were out, Pixar has pulled us back in. Yes, having already made us believe Toy Story<\/a> was over with Toy Story 3<\/a> in 2010, and then again with 2019’s Toy Story 4<\/a>, the legendary animation studio are dusting Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang off for a fifth movie<\/a>. And after the first Toy Story 5 teaser<\/a> introduced us to the new movie’s ‘Toys vs Tech’ angle with the arrival of frog-faced tablet Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee), the full, properly existential trailer for Finding Nemo<\/a> and Wall-E<\/a> director Andrew Stanton’s hotly anticipated fivequel is here. Check it out below;<\/p>\n

Hoo boy, is someone chopping onions or are we just getting sentimental in our old age? Because while it is an absolute, unmitigated joy to see the gang together again after Toy Story 4’s tearjerking climax (yes, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for Woody and Buzz’s reunion, lower your pitchforks!), this first full trailer for Toy Story 5 is gunning right for the feels. Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, and Tom Hanks are sounding their ages and intentionally so (there’s a recurring bit already about Woody’s new bald spot); our beloved toy pals are facing the existential threat of tech as Greta Lee’s Lilypad becomes Bonnie’s morning, noon, and night obsession; and while the arrival of the Multi-Buzz and the returns of Keanu Reeves’ Duke Caboom and Tony Hale’s Forky promise lols galore, there is a passing of the torch feeling permeating this teaser that’s got us all dewy-eyed and nostalgic. (Although the tears could just be of awe at how damn photorealistic this all looks now \u2014 seriously, you can see individual threads on Woody’s hat at this point!)<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for Stanton’s movie reads: “The toys are back and this time, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang\u2019s jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (voice of Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same?”<\/p>\n

When Empire spoke to Andrew Stanton<\/a> \u2014 who’s been with these toys since their first outing in 1995 \u2014 for our 2026 preview issue, the filmmaker opened up about his abiding love for the franchise and his hopes for its future. “I\u2019ve always loved how this world allows us to embrace time and change,” Stanton shared. “There\u2019s no promise that it stays in amber.” We just want time to hurry up and change to 19 June, when we’ll be able to laugh and cry and feel incredibly old watching Toy Story 5 at the cinema again and again, to infinity and… well, you know the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just when we thought we were out, Pixar has pulled us back in.
