Meet the New and Returning Characters of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5. The toys are back, and a whole new adventure is on the horizon! Disney and Pixar‘s Toy Story 5 is set to bring audiences back to Bonnie’s room for an emotional and exciting story that explores a challenge many families can relate to: technology competing with traditional playtime. With beloved favorites returning alongside an impressive lineup of new characters, the next chapter in the Toy Story franchise promises plenty of laughs, heart, and adventure when it arrives in theaters on June 19.
A New Battle: Toys vs. Technology
In Toy Story 5, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the rest of Bonnie’s toys find themselves facing an entirely new threat—not another toy collector or daycare center, but technology itself.
Bonnie (voiced by Scarlett Spears)
At the center of the story is Lilypad, a frog-shaped smart tablet that quickly becomes Bonnie’s favorite companion. While Lilypad believes she is helping Bonnie connect with friends and navigate growing up, her arrival causes concern among Bonnie’s traditional toys, who worry that playtime may be disappearing altogether.
The film explores the evolving relationship between children, technology, and imagination while staying true to the heart and friendship that have defined the franchise for nearly three decades.
Returning Heroes Take Center Stage
Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks)
Woody returns with a new sense of adventure after spending time alongside Bo Peep and her toy-rescue squad. When a surprise call brings him back to Bonnie’s room, he reunites with Buzz to help solve a mystery involving missing toys and a growing technological threat.
Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Disney Legend Tim Allen)
Buzz is now serving as Deputy to Sheriff Jessie. When Jessie and Bullseye suddenly disappear, Buzz teams up with Woody once again to restore order and protect Bonnie’s playtime.
Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack)
As Bonnie’s new sheriff, Jessie is determined to help her kid navigate friendships and growing up. Her leadership is put to the test when technology begins changing the way Bonnie interacts with the world around her.
Bullseye
Jessie’s faithful horse remains as loyal as ever. This time, Bullseye embarks on an unexpected journey that may teach him what it truly means to be there for the people you care about.
Forky (voiced by Tony Hale)
Fan-favorite Forky returns with some surprising news. He and Karen Beverly are preparing for their future together, leading to more hilarious misunderstandings about life, toys, and of course, trash.
Meet the New Characters
Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee)
Voiced by Greta Lee, Lilypad is a smart tablet designed to help Bonnie connect with friends. While her intentions may be good, her arrival creates tension between the old-fashioned toys and modern technology.
Smarty Pants (voiced by Conan O’Brien)
Voiced by Conan O’Brien, Smarty Pants is a long-forgotten toilet-training toy with a sarcastic personality and plenty of opinions. After years sitting unused, he’s suddenly given a chance to prove he still has value.
Snappy (voiced by Shelby Rabara)
This energetic toy camera loves preserving memories and is eager to help on any adventure that comes her way.
Atlas (voiced by Craig Robinson)
A GPS-equipped toy hippo, Atlas is always ready to guide friends toward their destination, both literally and figuratively.
Blaze (voiced by Mykal-Michelle Harris)
A tech-savvy young girl who lives on a ranch, Blaze introduces audiences to another perspective on growing up in a digital world while still valuing imagination and play.
A New Buzz Lightyear Mystery
One of the film’s most intriguing additions is a group of fifty brand-new Hi-Tech Edition Buzz Lightyear action figures.
These Buzz toys find themselves stranded and convinced they must complete their mission and return to Star Command. Their journey creates a fascinating contrast between classic Buzz and a new generation of technologically enhanced space rangers.
Familiar Faces and New Surprises
Fans can also look forward to appearances from many beloved Toy Story characters, including Rex, Hamm, Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, and Mr. Pricklepants.
New additions such as Garden Gnome, Pizza with Sunglasses, Inflatable Flamingo, and the technology-fearing Dr. Nutcase add even more personality and humor to the film’s growing cast.
From its beloved returning heroes to an exciting roster of new characters, Toy Story 5 looks poised to deliver another heartfelt adventure that explores how childhood continues to evolve in a digital age. The film’s central “Toy vs. Tech” storyline offers a fresh direction for the franchise while preserving the friendship, loyalty, and imagination that have made Toy Story a Disney and Pixar favorite for generations. As Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the gang face their biggest challenge yet, fans won’t have to wait much longer to see how the next chapter unfolds when Toy Story 5 arrives in theaters on June 19.
