🔗 Share this article The Fifth Toy Story Film Trailer Pits Woody and Buzz Versus a Tablet Computer Exactly 30 years after the original Toy Story film debuted, establishing the animation giant as a major film company and bringing audiences to beloved characters like Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (the voice talent), who are now household names. In 2026, the next chapter is set to arrive. The initial preview for Toy Story 5 appeared this week, providing a glimpse into the storyline but keeping fans curious how it will address the ending of Toy Story 4. The Latest Addition: A Digital Device Frightens the Gang The preview shows the young girl — who inherited Andy's toys when he left for college — receiving a latest plaything, one that terrifies the familiar toy group.

However, the characters seem to view it as a danger coming to replace them, which it probably is.

It also raises questions whether Bo Peep will have come back with him. And where is Duke Caboom (the star)? Continuity from the Last Installment At the very least, some elements are continuing from the earlier movie. The last thing Woody did before setting off for his fresh path was pass his sheriff badge to the cowgirl (Joan Cusack), leaving her in charge of the toy domain. In the teaser displays the insignia attached to her shirt. Hopefully she is still the key figure among the toys. Toy Story 5 debuts on June 19, 2026.
