What happens

Toy Story 5 is a 2026 American animated comedy-drama film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton and written by Stanton and Kenna Harris, it is the fifth main installment in the Toy Story film series and the sequel to Toy Story 4 (2019). It features the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack among those reprising their roles, joined by Conan O'Brien, Scarlett Spears, Greta Lee, Shelby Rabara, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Craig Robinson. Set two years after the fourth film, it follows Jessie as she, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the other toys deal with the presence of Lilypad, a tablet and the new favorite plaything of Bonnie. While Hanks said in May 2019 that Toy Story 4 was the final film in the franchise, the possibility of a fifth film had not been ruled out. Development was confirmed in February 2023, with Hanks and Allen returning. Stanton was confirmed as the director in June 2024 and later as a writer. It is the first main Toy Story film with no involvement from the co-creator, John Lasseter, who left Pixar in 2018. The franchise's composer, Randy Newman, returned to score the film, marking his tenth collaboration with Pixar, while Taylor Swift contributed the single "I Knew It, I Knew You" to the soundtrack. With a budget of $250 million, Toy Story 5 is one of the most expensive animated films ever made and one of the most expensive films of all time. Toy Story 5 had its world premiere in Los Angeles on June 9, 2026, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 19. It has grossed $881.8 million worldwide, breaking several box office records and becoming Pixar's biggest worldwide opening weekend on record. It is the third-highest-grossing film of 2026. Like its predecessors, it received positive reviews from critics, who praised its visuals, performances, humor and themes, although some criticized its script and message. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
