Disney will release Pixar's Toy Story 5 on June 19, 2026, the studio announced Friday. Disney CEO Bob Iger first announced Toy Story 5 in February 2023, with the sequel an attempt to return to form for the franchise after the disappointing performance of the 2022 spinoff, Lightyear, which voice starred Chris Evans.
Disney has announced a return to the world of Woody and Buzz in Toy Story 5. The studio's CEO Bob Iger confirmed there would a new Toy Story sequel coming from Pixar, and recently announced it would be released in 2026.
Premise. Director Andrew Stanton revealed that this would be the last Toy story as Woody will end up in a junkyard after being left at the playground of Bonnie's Middle School. The full events have not been concluded, but Stanton did confirm that Woody would be working with other scrapped toys and new friends to escape ...
Tim Allen appeared on The Tonight Show and, during his interview, confirmed that Disney contacted him and Tom Hanks about reprising their iconic roles as Buzz and Woody for “Toy Story 5”.
It's thus not surprising that Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang will be returning to screens. There are a lot of question marks surrounding Toy Story 5, with the creative minds behind the project keeping the details locked down.
As spotted by Dexerto, an apparent Disney insider on YouTube, befittingly named 'The DisInsider', claims that Andy will return in Toy Story 5 as an adult with his new family. What's more, it is also claimed that Andy and his new family will play an 'integral role' in the upcoming movie.
On a Disney earnings call in April 2024, Bob Iger announced that Toy Story 5 had received a release date and would be arriving to theaters on June 19, 2026. The Disney release calendar does tend to change, however, so we could see that date move in the coming years.
1. Sid. Bio: The young boy in the skull shirt and braces who dismembers toys and rebuilds them. What makes him interesting: Yes, in the eyes of toys, Sid is a brutal baddie.
Gabby Gabby is the main antagonist of Pixar's 21st feature-length animated film Toy Story 4, the fourth installment in the Toy Story franchise. She is a vintage pull-string talking doll from the 1950s who lived in the Second Chance Antique shop before meeting Woody and his friends and having a kid owner of her own.
When Woody says goodbye to Andy, he knows that is the end of their life together. Andy will never be a kid again, and he'll never play with Woody again. A possible Toy Story 5 would almost certainly feature Woody and the toys reuniting, but audiences will probably never see Andy again.
there is no paradox. In the film toys have the ability to interact with humans, they scare Sid at the end. The answer is: because he is a toy and toys can't talk.
Woody and Jessie share a sibling-like relationship. Since meeting each other in Al's penthouse, the two share a close bond. The two are shown to have pretty heated arguments from time to time, but they deeply care for each other nonetheless.
However, Peter Docter, a Pixar director and one of the story writers of Toy Story 2, revealed that the theory is actually false (via ET Online). Docter explained that he does have a backstory for Jessie, but he's not willing to reveal what it is just yet.
The Toy Story franchise consists mainly of five animated feature films: Toy Story (1995), Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010), Toy Story 4 (2019), and the spin-off film within a film Lightyear (2022). A fifth film was recently announced, which is set to be released in 2026.
Just last summer, it was confirmed by Pixar's creative chief officer that Woody and Buzz Lightyear will be returning for the fifth Toy Story sequel. The fifth installment is set to arrive in 2026, almost seven years after the most recent one, 2019's Toy Story 4.
Allen, who has voiced Buzz Lightyear in the past four animated featured films said that the studio has reached out to him and co-star Tom Hanks, who voices Woody, to return. “Bob Iger, head of Disney, said it was on,” Allen said while making an appearance on The Tonight Show Tuesday night.
Tom Hanks voices Woody, left, in the "Toy Story" franchise. Hanks' Toy Story salary started off as much less than “infinity and beyond.” He and Tim Allen (who played Buzz Lightyear) each made just $50,000 for the first Pixar film, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Announced amid a slew of other major releases in February 2024, Disney has confirmed that their long-awaited Zootopia sequel will be arriving on November 26th, 2025.
In Walt Disney Animation Studios' all-new epic animated musical, Moana 2, three years since her first voyage, Moana is on an expansive journey in search of people beyond the shores of Motunui. Moana 2 opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.
DiscussingFilm, a reliable source for film updates, has confirmed that Frozen 3 is set to hit theaters in 2026. While the specific release date within the year remains elusive, fans can anticipate a cinematic return at some point during this timeline.
