🔗 Share this article The Fifth Toy Story Film Teaser Pits The Beloved Duo Versus a Digital Device It has been 30 anniversary since the first Toy Story movie was released, launching Pixar as a leading animation studio and bringing audiences to beloved characters like Woody (the actor) and Buzz Lightyear (the voice talent), who are now household names. Coming in 2026, the fifth installment is scheduled for release. The initial preview for Toy Story 5 landed this week, offering a brief look into the plot but leaving fans wondering how it will address the ending of Toy Story 4. Bonnie's New Toy: A Frog-Shaped Tablet Spooks the Gang The preview reveals the young girl — who received the toy collection when he left for college — receiving a brand new plaything, one that terrifies Woody, Buzz, and the crew. Bonnie gets her first tablet computer, and she is excited about it. Theoretically, the amphibian-inspired device will animate just like the rest of her playthings. Still, the toys seem to view it as a danger intending to supplant them, which it probably is. The Cowboy's Comeback: Unanswered Questions from Toy Story 4 One thing the teaser doesn't touch on is why the sheriff is returned with his companions in the child's bedroom. The end of Toy Story 4 depicted him set off on a new adventure with Bo Peep (Annie Potts), traveling with a carnival and assisting giveaway items locate loving owners. Certainly, the filmmakers will explain the aftermath of Toy Story 4 in the film. Witnessing him appear in the familiar setting unexpectedly is somewhat puzzling, though. It also raises questions whether Bo Peep will have come back with Woody. And what about the stuntman toy (Keanu Reeves)? Connections from the Last Installment At the very least, some aspects are continuing from the earlier movie. The final act the cowboy did before setting off for his fresh path was pass his sheriff badge to the cowgirl (the voice actor), entrusting her in charge of the toy domain. In the teaser displays the badge attached to her outfit. It is hoped she is still the driving force among the group. Toy Story 5 debuts on the scheduled date.
