Release info

Toy Story 5 gets released in theaters on June 19, 2026.

Andrew Stanton, known for helming movies like “A Bug’s Life,” “Finding Nemo,” and “Wall-E,” is teaming up with McKenna Harris, an animator from “Ralph Breaks the Internet” project, on a new production. Notably, Stanton is also taking charge of the scriptwriting for this upcoming project.

Plot: Toys meet Tech

The official description for Toy Story 5 offers:

This round, we have a unique blend of “Toy Story” and technology. The familiar faces – Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and their friends – face an unprecedented challenge when they encounter a brand-new adversary that threatens the very essence of playtime.

Tim Allen also praised the story:

It took quite an effort, but after around two hours, I was able to work on Buzz. Honestly, I feel incredibly fortunate to be portraying Buzz Lightyear. I believe the fun is just beginning, and it seems we’re about a year away from completion. I’ve advanced up to the third act so far, and once that’s done, we’ll go back and polish it. After that, I’ll perform the third act another four or five times. This story is truly excellent, folks!
