Disney and Pixar have finally dropped the first teaser trailer and poster for Toy Story 5, and this time, the beloved franchise is tackling a new frontier: technology versus toys. With fresh faces joining the classic crew, the teaser sets the stage for a hilarious, heartfelt clash between old-school playtime and artificially intelligent gadgets.
Meet Lilypad, the Smart Tablet Shaking Up the Toy Box
The biggest reveal from the trailer is Lilypad, a high-tech, frog-shaped smart tablet that instantly becomes the toys’ newest — and most formidable — challenge. Voiced by the brilliant Greta Lee (Past Lives, The Morning Show, TRON: Ares), Lilypad brings a mix of charm, menace, and digital precision.
The teaser shows Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the gang scrambling to outwit a device that’s faster, smarter, and programmed to replace traditional play entirely. It’s the perfect modern antagonist — one that reflects today’s tech-obsessed childhoods and raises the stakes for our legacy heroes.
But the cast expansion doesn’t stop with Greta Lee’s Lilypad. In a pitch-perfect bit of casting, Conan O’Brien joins the toy chest as Smarty Pants, a toilet-training tech toy that’s sure to deliver comedic gold.
Conan O’Brien and Gretel Lee join returning voiceover actors Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, and Tony Hale.
Toy Story 5 hits theaters nationwide on June 19, 2026. And if this first look is anything to go by, fans should prepare for a story that’s as thoughtful as it is inventive — proving once again that there’s always more to explore “to infinity and beyond.”
