When "Toy Story" premiered in 1995, the enemy was plastic. In its latest chapter, it's pixels. More than 30 years after Woody worried about being replaced by Buzz Lightyear, the franchise is ready to take on a bigger threat: the screen. The official trailer for "Toy Story 5" was released on Thursday and shows the toys vying for Bonnie's attention against a frog-themed tablet named Lilypad.
With Toy Story 5 heading to theaters next June, there will undoubtedly be a plethora of new toys and accessories themed around the Pixar series in the coming months. But if you're looking for a gift for a Toy Story fan this holiday season, Lego designed an absolutely adorable building set this year. Released in June with a $40 retail price, the Toy Story Celebration Train & RC Car Lego set is on sale for $32 (was $40) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target.
Pixar's first teaser for on November 11 begins with the arrival of an ominous package. Our old friends Woody, Buzz, Slinky Dog, and Jessie cower in fear. "Hi, I'm Lilypad," a tablet says. "Let's play." It's a clear reference to the iPad and Kindle Fire obsession of the current era, dressed up as a LeapFrog LeapPad. The villainous screen is voiced by Greta Lee - going from playing an evil AI version of herself on The Morning Show to playing an evil iPad.
