Disney and Pixar released the first Toy Story 5 teaser trailer, giving fans a brief but powerful glimpse of the next chapter for Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. The teaser is intentionally vague, yet it sets a clear direction for the story and introduces a new kind of threat that feels timely and relatable.
The trailer opens on a calm day in Bonnie’s house. That peace ends when the doorbell rings. Bonnie’s mom announces a package, and Bonnie opens it to reveal Lilypad, a frog-shaped smart tablet. The toys watch as Lilypad boots up, speaks with confidence, and captures Bonnie’s full attention within seconds. The tone shifts fast, and the teaser hints at major change.
Lilypad Joins the Story
Lilypad is voiced by Greta Lee, known for “Past Lives,” “The Morning Show,” and “TRON: Ares.” Outlets like ABC News and Entertainment Weekly note that Lilypad’s arrival signals a direct challenge to the toys. She organizes tasks, manages routines, and becomes the center of Bonnie’s world. The Verge highlights the teaser’s tagline: “The age of toys is over,” setting a bold tone for this entry.
Lilypad’s design is bright, modern, and expressive. Her presence brings a new energy into the room, and the toys respond with concern as they realize they now compete with a device that never tires, never blinks, and always knows what Bonnie wants.
A Teaser That Reveals Little but Says a Lot
The teaser keeps its cards close. It offers no extended scenes, only quick reactions and fast cuts. Yet every moment supports the central conflict. The toys now face a rival that does not break, sleep, or need imagination. Entertainment Weekly and The Verge both note that the teaser feels restrained, which makes its message stronger.
Release Date
Pixar will release Toy Story 5 in theaters on June 19, 2026.
