The beloved toys return to battle the ultimate modern threat: a tablet. With Tom Hanks and Tim Allen back, this installment explores screen time vs. playtime. A must-see for fans of the franchise.
Get ready to return to the toy box, because Toy Story 5 is hitting Belgian cinemas on June 17, 2026, and it's bringing a whole new kind of challenge. This time, Bonnie gets a Lilypad tablet as a gift, and suddenly Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the gang are up against the ultimate modern nemesis: screen time. The synopsis hints at a hilarious and heartfelt battle for the soul of playtime, as the toys must go head to head with an all-new threat that could make their jobs exponentially harder.
The voice cast is a delightful mix of old friends and fresh faces. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprise their iconic roles as Woody and Buzz, while Joan Cusack is back as the ever-energetic Jessie. Newcomers include Greta Lee and the hilarious Conan O'Brien, whose comedic timing is sure to bring a new energy to the toy universe. Did you know? Conan O'Brien is a known animation enthusiast and has voiced characters in shows like The Simpsons, making his addition a perfect fit for the Toy Story family.
Behind the scenes, this sequel marks a fascinating evolution for the franchise. While previous films tackled abandonment, jealousy, and growing up, Toy Story 5 dives into the digital age and how it affects imaginative play. At 102 minutes, it promises a tight, engaging story that balances comedy and adventure. A fun fact: the Lilypad tablet is a playful nod to real-world tech, and the animators spent months studying how children interact with tablets to make the toys' reactions feel authentic.
In a genre dominated by animated family adventures, Toy Story 5 stands out by addressing a very contemporary concern without losing the warmth and humor we love. It’s a celebration of creativity in a world of screens, and the perfect film for families to enjoy together. Don't miss it!
