In a new teaser trailer for Toy Story 5, Buzz, Woody and the rest of the gang face what may be their ultimate enemy in the war for a child’s play time: electronics.
With INXS’s Never Tear Us Apart playing in the background, we see the delivery of a parcel to Bonnie Anderson, Andy’s younger sister, who inherited his toys back in Toy Story 3. Our heroes including Rex, Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head, Woody, Buzz and Jessie, look on in horror as she opens the package to reveal a frog-themed tablet named Lilypad. “Let’s Play!” it proposes. Bonnie seems ready to do so, and possibly forget about her other pals in short order. “Is the age of toys over?” the tagline asks.
Tablets have long succeeded classic toys, of course, but it’s still a fun plot idea and likely very relatable to parents who’ve grown up with these films. The sequel brings back the franchise’s regular cast including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack, while welcoming newcomers Conan O’Brien, Ernie Hudson and Greta Lee as Lilypad’s voice. It’s set to hit theaters in June 2026.
