🔗 Share this article The Fifth Toy Story Film Teaser Sets Woody and Buzz Against a Digital Device Exactly 30 years after the original Toy Story film was released, establishing the animation giant as a major film company and introducing audiences to iconic figures like Woody (the actor) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), who are now household names. Coming in 2026, the fifth installment is scheduled for release. The first teaser trailer for Toy Story 5 appeared recently, providing a brief look into the storyline but keeping fans wondering how it will address the ending of Toy Story 4. Bonnie's New Toy: A Digital Device Spooks the Toys The preview shows the young girl — who inherited the toy collection when he grew up — getting a latest toy, one that terrifies the familiar toy group. She gets her initial digital gadget, and she is thrilled about it. Theoretically, the frog-shaped tablet will animate just like the rest of her playthings. However, the toys seem to view it as a danger coming to replace them, which it probably is. Woody's Return: Unanswered Questions from Toy Story 4 An element the teaser avoids is why Woody is back with his friends in Bonnie's room. The end of Toy Story 4 saw him embark on a new adventure with Bo Peep (Annie Potts), journeying with a fair and helping prize toys find good homes. Certainly, the filmmakers will explain the consequences of Toy Story 4 in the film. Seeing him show up in the familiar setting without warning is a little strange, however. It also makes us wonder whether Bo Peep will have returned with Woody. And where is the stuntman toy (Keanu Reeves)? Continuity from the Previous Film Fortunately, some elements are continuing from the earlier movie. The last thing Woody did before departing for his new life was pass his symbol of authority to Jessie (Joan Cusack), entrusting her as the leader of Bonnie's bedroom. The clip shows the insignia pinned to her shirt. It is hoped she is still the key figure among the toys. Toy Story 5 arrives in theaters on the scheduled date.
