Ticket sales launch for Toy Story 5 ahead of a June 19 theatrical release. Woody returns as Buzz welcomes him and the classic toy box crew confronts a modern crisis: addiction to electronic screens. A trailer shows Bonnie’s new smart tablet, Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee, presenting a world where kids stay glued to their devices. Jessie challenges the tablet, but Lilypad responds with a sharp refusal. A nostalgic montage of toy play turns darker when the toys are trapped in a garage box. Lilypad then declares that Bonnie no longer wants toys and needs the tablet instead. Jessie insists the toys still matter to Bonnie, and Buzz signals they will need backup to face the digital age.
"“It’s been too long, Woody,” Buzz Lightyear replies in the footage, welcoming back the cowboy as the classic toy box crew faces a modern crisis: the addiction to electronic screens. The new trailer footage teases a modern playground battle between classic toys and screen time. Audiences get a glimpse of Bonnie's new favorite tech gadget, a smart tablet named Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee), as it showcases a world where Bonnie and her peers are glued to their screens."
"When Jessie steps up to lay down the law with the device, the digital rival quickly fires back. “No touching, Jessica,” Lilypad replies. “Oh no,” the other toys erupt in shock. “She used the J-word.” What follows is a nostalgic montage of scenes showing Jessie and the gang in action, being played with just like they used to be. But the joy is short-lived as the reality of a tech-focused world sets in."
"The nostalgic montage takes a dark turn as the toys find themselves trapped in a box inside the garage. Surrounded by the darkness, a panicked Rex asks, “Are we getting donated?” Cut to a different scene back in Bonnie's bedroom, and the threat becomes real as Lilypad declares to a room full of toys, “Bonnie doesn't want to play with toys anymore. She needs me.”"
"Despite the threat of tech replacing them, the toys refuse to give up on their Bonnie. When asked what her gut says they should do, Jessie responds: “Bonnie still needs us. Our time ain't over yet.” But taking on the digital age won't be a solo mission. As Buzz teases at the end of the trailer, “We're gonna need backup.”"
