🔗 Share this article Toy Story 5 Teaser Pits Woody and Buzz Against a Digital Device Exactly 30 years since the original Toy Story film was released, launching Pixar as a major animation studio and bringing audiences to beloved figures like the cowboy doll (Tom Hanks) and the space ranger (the voice talent), who are now famous worldwide. Coming in 2026, the fifth installment is scheduled for release. The first teaser trailer for Toy Story 5 appeared recently, offering a brief look into the plot but keeping viewers wondering how it will address the conclusion of Toy Story 4. Bonnie's New Toy: A Digital Device Spooks the Gang The preview shows the young girl — who received the toy collection when he left for college — receiving a brand new plaything, one that terrifies the familiar toy group. Bonnie gets her initial digital gadget, and she is thrilled about it. Presumably, the amphibian-inspired device will animate just like the rest of her playthings. However, the characters seem to view it as a threat coming to replace them, which it probably is. Woody's Return: Unanswered Questions from Toy Story 4 One thing the teaser avoids is why Woody is back with his companions in Bonnie's room. The finale of Toy Story 4 depicted him set off on a new adventure with the shepherdess (the actress), journeying with a fair and assisting prize toys find good homes. Certainly, Pixar will address the consequences of Toy Story 4 in the film. Witnessing him show up in the familiar setting without warning is a little strange, though. It also raises questions whether his partner will have returned with Woody. And where is the stuntman toy (Keanu Reeves)? Connections from the Previous Film At the very least, some elements are carrying over from the prior film. The final act Woody did before setting off for his new life was hand over his sheriff badge to the cowgirl (Joan Cusack), entrusting her in charge of the toy domain. In the teaser displays the badge pinned to her outfit. It is hoped she is remains the driving force among the group. Toy Story 5 arrives in theaters on the scheduled date.
