🔗 Share this article Toy Story 5 Teaser Pits The Beloved Duo Against a Digital Device Exactly 30 anniversary after the original Toy Story film debuted, launching the animation giant as a major animation studio and introducing audiences to beloved figures like the cowboy doll (the actor) and Buzz Lightyear (the voice talent), who are now household names. In 2026, the fifth installment is set to arrive. The initial preview for Toy Story 5 landed this week, providing a brief look into the plot but keeping viewers wondering how it will resolve the ending of Toy Story 4. Bonnie's New Toy: A Digital Device Spooks the Toys In the teaser shows Bonnie — who inherited the toy collection when he left for college — getting a brand new toy, one that alarms the familiar toy group. She acquires her initial digital gadget, and she is thrilled about it. Presumably, the frog-shaped tablet will come to life just like Bonnie's other toys. However, the characters seem to view it as a danger intending to supplant them, which it likely will. Woody's Return: Mysteries from Toy Story 4 An element the trailer avoids is why Woody is back with his friends in Bonnie's room. The end of Toy Story 4 saw him embark on a fresh journey with Bo Peep (the actress), traveling with a carnival and helping giveaway items find good homes. Certainly, Pixar will address the aftermath of Toy Story 4 in the movie. Witnessing him show up in the familiar setting unexpectedly is a little strange, though. It also makes us wonder whether Bo Peep will have returned with him. And where is Duke Caboom (the star)? Connections from the Previous Film Fortunately, some aspects are carrying over from the earlier movie. The final act the cowboy did before departing for his new life was hand over his symbol of authority to Jessie (the voice actor), leaving her as the leader of Bonnie's bedroom. In the teaser shows the badge attached to her shirt. Hopefully she is remains the key figure among the group. Toy Story 5 debuts on the scheduled date.
