The clock above counts down to Toy Story 5 on June 19, 2026, Pixar Animation Studios' fifth chapter in the Toy Story series, opening exclusively in cinemas.
Toy Story 5 returns Pixar to the franchise that built the modern computer-animated feature. Disney slots the film for a Father's Day weekend launch on June 19, 2026, positioning it as Pixar's flagship summer release and one of the studio's biggest commercial bets in years. Andrew Stanton is attached to direct and Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are confirmed to reprise Woody and Buzz Lightyear, with Pixar chief Pete Docter overseeing the project.
The series began in 1995 with the first feature-length CG animated film and has grossed more than three billion dollars worldwide across four entries. After Toy Story 4 wrapped Woody's arc in 2019, Pixar has positioned the fifth film as a generational handoff that revisits the toys' lives in a tech-saturated world, with reported themes touching on screens, devices, and play in the age of attention.
Pixar has revealed limited story details, but the studio has confirmed Hanks, Allen, and Joan Cusack reprising their roles as Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. Reported plot framing centers on the toys grappling with a new electronic playmate that threatens to make them obsolete. Expect the trademark Pixar blend of physical comedy, generational themes, and a closing emotional gut punch. Animation work is led out of Pixar's Emeryville campus on a multi-year schedule typical of the studio.
Toy Story 5 opens exclusively in theaters on June 19, 2026 in standard, IMAX, RealD 3D, and premium large-format presentations through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Disney typically holds Pixar films from streaming for roughly 90 to 120 days before the title arrives on Disney+. International releases generally follow the US date, with select markets opening a week earlier or later depending on local holidays.
