Disney and Pixar are opening the toy chest once again, only this time – a toy comes with a touchscreen. Toy Story 5 reunites our favourites like Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of Bonnie’s beloved toys in a story that explores how classic playthings survive in a world increasingly dominated by smart devices.
Alongside returning franchise veterans, the film introduces a line-up of new celebrity voices that reflect the modern twist at the heart of the sequel.
Who is returning for Toy Story 5?
At the centre of the adventure, the original trio remains intact.
Tom Hanks returns as Woody, Tim Allen once again voices the ever-earnest Buzz Lightyear, while Joan Cusack brings Jessie’s spirited optimism back to life.
They’re joined by returning favorites, including Tony Hale as Forky and Bonnie Hunt as Dolly, along with the larger ensemble that has defined the franchise for decades.
Who are the new voices in Toy Story 5?
The sequel’s biggest shake-up comes in the form of Lilypad, a sleek frog-shaped smart tablet that captures Bonnie’s attention.
Voiced by Greta Lee, known for her acclaimed turn in Past Lives, Lilypad represents the new frontier of play.
Comedy heavyweight Conan O’Brien joins the cast as Smarty Pants, a tech-forward training toy designed to monitor and motivate.
Meanwhile, Craig Robinson voices Atlas, a GPS-themed hippo constantly recalculating more than just directions.
Adding to the mix is Matty Matheson, recognised for his role on The Bear, as Dr. Nutcase, a toy overwhelmed by the rise of electronics.
Shelby Rabara lends her voice to Snappy, a hyperactive camera toy, while Mykal-Michelle Harris plays Blaze, an independent child who helps usher Bonnie into this new digital chapter.
