What’s the Plot?
The toys are up against modern tech, as shown in a first-look scene where they peer over Bonnie’s bed while she plays with a tablet. In this new chapter, their role as toys who bring joy to kids is tested like never before.
There’s also a new threat: 50 rogue Buzz Lightyear action figures, stuck in toy mode, creating major chaos for everyone. Fans of the original Toy Story 2 will remember the last time we saw multiple Buzz Lightyears, in the aisles of Al’s Toy Barn.
Director’s Insight
Andrew Stanton, who co-wrote Toy Story 2, said, “Through the experiences of these toys, we’ve learned about loyalty, belonging, and friendship. In Toy Story 5, the toys’ job gets harder as they face the rise of electronics.”

With Toy Story 5 coming to theaters in June 2026, fans can expect a blend of fun, nostalgia, and fresh challenges for the beloved toy crew. With Andrew Stanton back at the helm, this new chapter promises to be another memorable adventure in the Toy Story universe.
