Toy Story 5 released June 19 2026, spotlighting Jessie and a tech‑savvy Bonnie

Pixar’s fifth Toy Story installment opened worldwide on June 19 2026. Directed by Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris and produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film features returning voices such as Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear), Joan Cusack (Jessie) and newcomer Greta Lee as the digital tablet Lilypad. The story shifts focus to Jessie and her new owner Bonnie, exploring how a child’s first tablet changes play, friendships and exposure to cyber‑bullying, while also revisiting Jessie’s past with her former child, Emily.

Critics note the movie balances nostalgia with a bittersweet look at growing up, emphasizing that toys’ purpose is to bring joy during a child’s need rather than to be cherished forever. The film blends humor—such as a side‑quest with stranded Buzz toys on an island—and emotional moments that address family change, technology’s role in childhood, and the enduring bond between children and their toys.
