Toy Story 5 brought Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie and the rest of Bonnie’s toys back to the big screen in June 2026 — and audiences turned up in a big way, pushing the film past $1.1 billion at the worldwide box office. If you missed it in cinemas, the good news is simple: it is now streaming at home.
What is Toy Story 5 about?
The toys have always competed with other toys. This time, their rival is not a toy at all. Bonnie gets a tablet called Lilypad, a cheerful device with very firm ideas about what is best for her. As screen time grows, Woody, Buzz and Jessie have to prove that old-fashioned play still matters — without losing Bonnie in the process.
It is the most modern problem the series has tackled, and the film leans into it with plenty of laughs for kids and some pointed, gentle observations for parents.

Is Toy Story 5 worth watching?
Yes — especially as a family watch. The jokes land, the animation is Pixar at its sharpest, and the “toys vs tech” idea gives the franchise a fresh engine. Longtime fans will appreciate the callbacks without needing to rewatch every earlier film first, though a quick refresher of Toy Story 4 helps.
