"Disney and Pixar have released the first teaser trailer for Toy Story 5, showing tablet screens as an "all-new threat to playtime." The trailer introduces - much to the horror of Woody and co - a new character called "Lilypad," a frog-shaped tablet played by Greta Lee ( Russian Doll, Tron: Ares), alongside the tagline "the age of toys is over.""
"Toy Story 5 is set to hit theaters on June 19th, 2026, more than 30 years after the first Toy Story movie debuted in 1996. The teaser itself doesn't provide a lot of insight into the plot besides identifying that technology will take on the villainous role, alluding to concerns around real children ditching traditional toys in favor of screentime. Conan O'Brien was also recently cast to play a "toilet training tech toy" called Smarty Pants."
A teaser for Toy Story 5 presents tablet screens as an "all-new threat to playtime" and introduces Lilypad, a frog-shaped tablet voiced by Greta Lee, with the tagline "the age of toys is over." The film is scheduled for release on June 19, 2026, more than three decades after the original Toy Story. The teaser positions technology as a villainous force and raises concerns about children abandoning traditional toys for screentime. Conan O'Brien is cast as a toilet-training tech toy named Smarty Pants. Pixar appears to be targeting parents with this theme while relying on the franchise's strong profitability, after a recent film recorded the studio's worst domestic opening with $21 million.
