If you skipped Toy Story 5 at the cinema, the wait is over.
Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 started streaming on Disney+ on 23 September 2026. That puts Woody, Buzz and Jessie back on the sofa just in time for a family movie night.
What is Toy Story 5 about?
This time, the toys face a very modern problem. Bonnie gets Lilypad, a frog-shaped tablet. Suddenly, traditional play has to compete with shiny new technology.
Woody returns when he hears that his old friends may need help. Buzz, Jessie, Forky and other familiar characters also return.
Why parents may find it interesting
The basic idea will feel familiar in many homes. Parents regularly balance screens with toys, books and outdoor play.
Therefore, the film can start a useful conversation without turning family movie night into a lecture.
Who joins the cast?
Greta Lee voices Lilypad. Conan O’Brien voices Smarty Pants, while Craig Robinson plays Atlas, a hippo GPS toy.
Of course, Tom Hanks returns as Woody, Tim Allen voices Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack returns as Jessie.
There is more Toy Story on Disney+
Disney+ also has Toy Story 30 Years and Beyond, a 42-minute special about Pixar’s history through the Toy Story franchise.
Is this weekend the right time to watch?
Yes, especially if your family already pays for Disney+. A home release removes the cost and effort of a cinema trip. It also lets younger children pause the film when they need a break.
