Toy Story 5: Woody and Buzz Face a High-Tech Rival Named Lilypad on June 19

Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story 5" hits theaters June 19, 2026, with a "Toy meets Tech" twist: Woody, Buzz and Jessie square off against Lilypad, a charismatic tablet voiced by Greta Lee. Andrew Stanton directs and Randy Newman returns to score his fifth Toy Story film.

The toy box gets a high-tech rival when Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story 5" arrives in theaters on June 19, 2026. Billed as "Toy meets Tech," the fifth chapter pits Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and Jessie (Joan Cusack) against Lilypad — a brand-new tablet device, voiced by Greta Lee, who arrives with her own disruptive ideas about how their kid, Bonnie, should spend her playtime.

Toy Meets Tech: Inside the Story of "Toy Story 5"

Thirty years after Pixar redefined animation with the original 1995 "Toy Story" — the first fully computer-animated feature film — Woody and the gang return for a conflict tailor-made for the modern playroom. In "Toy Story 5," the toys' very purpose is challenged when Bonnie receives a glossy new tablet named Lilypad. The screen doesn't just compete for a child's attention; she has opinions about what's "best" for Bonnie, setting up a battle for playtime between analog friends and a charismatic piece of technology.

It's a premise that lands squarely on a question every parent and kid recognizes today, and it gives the long-running franchise a fresh emotional hook without straying from its heart: what happens to the things we love when something newer and shinier comes along?

Meet Lilypad, the Toys' Newest Rival

Designed to look like a friendly, frog-themed tablet, Lilypad is the most disruptive newcomer the toy box has faced since the franchise began. Voiced by Greta Lee, she's equal parts charming and unsettling — a device that's always listening, always learning, and convinced she knows exactly how Bonnie should be spending her time. For Woody and Buzz, who have spent five films defining themselves by their devotion to their kid, that's an existential threat.

First-look images make the stakes plain: in scene after scene, the toys are caught mid-gasp, staring down their sleek new competition.

First Look: Woody, Buzz, Jessie and a New Friend Named Smarty Pants

Pixar has released a batch of finished frames that put the spotlight back on the core ensemble — and tease at least one new face. Among the images is Smarty Pants, a new toy seen alongside Jessie, joining a roster of returning favorites including Bullseye the horse.

Fifty Buzz Lightyears? Concept Art Teases the Chaos

One of the film's most intriguing reveals comes straight from Pixar's art department. According to concept art shared by the studio, fifty commemorative Buzz Lightyear action figures — stuck in "toy mode" and still convinced they're real Space Rangers — set off in search of Star Command, and they "just might make considerable problems for everybody." It's a gag with deep franchise roots: Buzz's running inability to recognize that he is a toy has been a comedic engine since 1995, and "Toy Story 5" appears poised to multiply it by fifty.

Behind the Voices and the Music

Director Andrew Stanton — a Pixar veteran who co-wrote the first three "Toy Story" films and directed the Oscar-winning "Finding Nemo" and "WALL·E" — returns to the saga he helped build, sharing co-directing duties with McKenna Harris. Lindsey Collins produces, with Stanton and Harris writing from a story by Stanton.

The voice cast blends franchise mainstays with high-profile newcomers. Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear) and Joan Cusack (Jessie) are joined by returning players including John Ratzenberger (Hamm), Wallace Shawn (Rex), Annie Potts (Bo Peep), Tony Hale (Forky), Kristen Schaal (Trixie), Blake Clark (Slinky Dog) and Keanu Reeves (Duke Caboom). New additions to the ensemble include Greta Lee as Lilypad, plus Conan O'Brien, Craig Robinson, Ernie Hudson, Alan Cumming, Matty Matheson, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Bad Bunny), Shelby Rabara, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Scarlett Spears, Jeff Bergman, Anna Vocino, John Hopkins, Bonnie Hunt and Melissa Villaseñor.

Behind the music, Oscar winner Randy Newman returns to score his fifth "Toy Story" feature, carrying forward the musical DNA that gave the world "You've Got a Friend in Me."

Pixar's marketing rollout has built steadily from a first teaser to a full trailer and, now, a final trailer paired with the call to grab tickets. Watch how the campaign introduced Lilypad and ramped up the "battle for playtime."
