"Toy Story 5" Trailer Spills the Beans on a Turbulent Future for Beloved Toys
In the highly anticipated first teaser trailer for the latest installment in the beloved "Toy Story" franchise, Pixar and Disney are teasing an epic battle between traditional toys and cutting-edge technology. The film's director, Andrew Stanton, and co-director, Kenna Harris, have set the stage for a hilarious and poignant exploration of how their iconic characters will navigate the rapidly changing world.
At the center of the turmoil is Bonnie's new smart tablet in the shape of a frog, dubbed Lilypad by the filmmakers. Voiced by Greta Lee ("TRON: Ares"), this high-tech toy is poised to shake things up among Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and their friends. As Bonnie excitedly unwraps the tablet, it becomes clear that the traditional toys are not prepared for the rapid-fire innovations that Lilypad brings.
Tom Hanks returns as cowboy Woody, Tim Allen beams in as Buzz Lightyear, Joan Cusack is back as cowgirl Jessie, and Tony Hale reprises his role as Forky. The trailer also introduces Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants, a toilet training tech toy who brings a fresh wave of humor to the franchise.
With the "Toy Story 5" teaser trailer, Pixar is signaling that this installment will be more than just another animated adventure – it's an exploration of what it means to be relevant in a world where technology is constantly evolving. Director Andrew Stanton and co-director Kenna Harris are tasked with balancing humor and heart as their beloved characters confront the existential threat posed by Lilypad.
The stakes are high, but the filmmakers seem confident that they have a winning formula on their hands. "We're thrilled to share this first glimpse with audiences," says Stanton in a press release. "Having Greta Lee bring Lilypad to life has been incredible – she's perfectly balanced playfully antagonistic tone with humor and heart."
With a premiere set for June 2026, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the "Toy Story" saga. Will Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and their friends find a way to adapt to this brave new world? The trailer promises an epic battle between tradition and innovation that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

. I mean, we've all seen our kids go from playing with traditional toys like Legos to being glued to their screens, right? It's like a whole new world has opened up for them, but also one that they're not always fully prepared for.
. It's also about what that says about us as humans and how we value connection and community in a world where so much is moving online. So I'm really curious to see where the filmmakers are going with this, because it sounds like they're tackling some big themes that will resonate with audiences of all ages 
! I'm low-key worried about Lilypad tho... like what if she replaces Woody as Bonnie's favorite toy? 
But for real, it's dope that they're tackling this theme of tech vs tradition. Can't wait to see how our fave toys adapt to the digital age 
just kidding, sorta. but seriously tho, i'm all about them new tech toys shaking things up in Andy's room 
lilypad better bring the heat, cuz woody and buzz ain't exactly the most high-tech crew anymore 
As for the themes of relevance and adapting to change, I think Pixar is onto something big here. We're living in a world where innovation and technology are constantly evolving, and it's time our favorite toys caught up 
. Either way, Tom Hanks is still always a win in my book 
. And Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants? That's some genius casting right there 
. Can't wait to see what kind of wild adventures the toys get up to next 
!
What's wrong with just playing with toys, you know? The trailer looks alright, but I'm still not stoked about Bonnie's new tablet ruining the vibe of Andy's room...
just saw the Toy Story 5 teaser trailer and I'm SHAKING 
! Did you see how old Woody is looking? He's like, ancient 
! On a serious note tho, did you know that in 2022 alone, tech toys like Lilypad accounted for 25% of all toy sales? 
It's no wonder the traditional toys are struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, online gaming and e-sports have become so popular that kids are spending an average of 4 hours a day playing games on their devices 
. I mean, it's cute that they're trying to adapt with Smarty Pants, but I think the writers need to get real 
.
. i'm also loving Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants, his comedic timing is gonna bring so much humor to the film 
. They're introducing these high-tech toys like Lilypad in Toy Story 5, but what's really going on? Are they trying to sell us on the idea that tech is the way forward? And what about Woody and Buzz Lightyear? They've been around for ages, shouldn't they just stick with what they know?
