At the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Pixar teased Toy Story 5, introducing a new character named Lillypad, a frog-shaped tablet influencing young Bonnie. Pixar's chief creative officer, Pete Docter, suggested the film will explore themes related to technology and screen time's impact on play. The logline hints at challenges the toys face as they compete against modern distractions, including the personality of Lillypad. The film is set for release in 2026, raising questions about the relevance of tablets in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
While the last Toy Story introduced low-fi characters like Gabby Gabby and Forky, Pixar's chief creative officer Pete Docter revealed at Annecy that the new film will be all about tech.
In his presentation at Annecy, Pete revealed this new antagonist to be a frog-shaped tablet called Lillypad, the new favourite toy of an eight-year-old Bonnie Anderson.
