Disney Unveils Toy Story 5 Teaser Trailer

Disney and Pixar have unveiled the first teaser trailer for Toy Story 5, the latest installment in the beloved animated franchise, which introduces a high-tech antagonist threatening the classic toys' relevance in a digital age. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on June 19, 2026.

The teaser, released on Tuesday, depicts Woody, Buzz Lightyear and their companions reacting with apprehension to the arrival of Lilypad, a frog-shaped smart tablet designed for interactive play. Voiced by actress Greta Lee, known for her roles in Past Lives and The Morning Show, Lilypad represents a modern challenge as it captivates children with its advanced features, potentially sidelining traditional toys. The footage shows the toys, including Rex, Forky, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Slinky Dog and Bullseye, huddling in fear before the device is even activated, underscored by the song "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS. Director Andrew Stanton, who also wrote the screenplay, and co-director Kenna Harris have crafted the story to explore the tension between imagination-driven play and technology's influence on childhood.

Returning to their iconic roles are Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz...
