Did You Know?
Toy Story 5 shatters records and streams soon—here’s how to dive back into Woody’s world.
The long‑awaited fifth chapter of the beloved franchise didn’t just return to theaters—it rewrote the box‑office script. Raking in over $1 billion worldwide, Toy Story 5 now sits at the top of the series and claims the title of the highest‑grossing film of 2026. Critics are buzzing, too: Mashable’s Kristy Puchko dubs the sequel "wacky, warm, and unapologetically weird," noting its clever clash between tech‑savvy toys and their analog counterparts as a fresh way to explore human connection.
If you missed the theatrical run or simply can’t wait for a second viewing, the film lands on Disney+ on September 23, 2026, following the platform’s usual release window. For those who prefer to own a digital copy, the rental price has been pulled, but you can still purchase the movie for $19.99 across major services like Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, and YouTube. And for audiophiles, the original score by Randy Newman and a surprise Taylor Swift‑inspired single are available for pre‑order on vinyl ($37.99) and CD ($11.98) with a release slated for September 25.
Getting the film onto your screen might also be a good excuse to upgrade your streaming setup. Disney+ Premium’s ad‑free annual plan drops to $189.99 a year—a 17% saving that breaks down to just $15.83 per month. Bundles with Hulu (and even ESPN or HBO Max) can shave off an additional $10‑$15 per month, making a marathon of all five Toy Story movies more affordable than ever.
The 14‑year‑old voice behind Toy Story 5’s newest kid star didn’t even know she’d become a linchpin of the film
When Mykal‑Michelle Harris stepped into the recording booth for Pixar’s Toy Story 5, she was told to focus on her own lines and never saw the full script. The 14‑year‑old voice actress later admitted she had no idea just how central her character, Blaze, would be until she finally watched the movie in theaters. The surprise was so big she says her whole family was stunned by Blaze’s impact on the story.
Blaze, the sweet new girl living in Jessie’s former owner Emily’s house, quickly becomes a highlight of the film, especially when she befriends Bonnie. Their bond, forged amid a subplot about tech‑obsessed play, adds a fresh emotional layer that resonates with both kids and adults. Harris describes the experience as “stepping into the Toy Story family,” noting that she was allowed to improvise and shape Blaze’s personality during recording, making the role feel like an extension of herself.
Pixar even broke new ground to bring Blaze to life. The character’s tight curls required the studio to develop breakthrough animation technology, marking a first for the studio in rendering such detailed hair. This technical leap underscores how Blaze’s design was as pivotal behind the scenes as her narrative role on screen.
The film also introduces Scarlett Spears as the new voice of Bonnie, hinting at a future where the two girls grow up together and perhaps pass on their toys in a sixth installment. For now, audiences can stream Toy Story 5 on Disney+ or pick up the 4K Ultra HD Blu‑ray to relive Blaze’s endearing debut.
Taylor Swift’s ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ dominates Billboard’s Top Movie Songs for a third straight month as Toy Story 5 rockets to streaming #1
Taylor Swift’s new track “I Knew It, I Knew You,” featured in the eagerly anticipated Toy Story 5, has clinched the top spot on Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart for the third consecutive month. The song logged an impressive 51.8 million official streams and 8,000 downloads in August 2026, edging out the No. 2 entry by a slim margin and even breaking into the Hot 100 at No. 18.
The buzz around the song mirrors the film’s own launch success—Toy Story 5 debuted at No. 1 on the major streaming platform, confirming the franchise’s enduring pull. The chart, which blends Tunefind data with Luminate’s sales and streaming figures, also highlights heavy‑hit tracks from other recent releases like The Last Laugh and Deadpool & Wolverine, but Swift’s pop‑savvy anthem remains the standout.
Even hip‑hop heavyweight Drake is making waves on the same list, holding a top‑five position throughout August after his June debut. Yet it’s Swift’s crossover appeal that’s capturing both movie‑goers and music fans, cementing Toy Story 5 as a cultural moment that extends far beyond the screen.
Toy Story 5’s surprise hit spawns a brand‑new comic adventure for kids
When skeptics wrote off Toy Story 5 as a cash‑grab, the film proved them wrong, delighting critics and families alike with a story that pits beloved, old‑school toys against sleek modern gadgets. The sequel reunites Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bo Peep and the gang, while adding fresh faces like Conan O'Brien’s Smarty Pants and Greta Lee’s Lilypad, all under Andrew Stanton’s direction.
The buzz didn’t stop at the theater. Papercutz, the family‑friendly arm of Mad Cave Studios, turned the movie’s extra‑dimensional playtime into an 88‑page graphic novel anthology titled The New Adventures of Toy Story 5: A New Way of Play. Written by Joshua Pruett—known for Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy’s Law—the comic features art by Sergio Algozzino, inker Gianfranco Florio, colorist Sara Galanti, and letterers Chris Dickey and Charles Pritchett. Though the print run sold out quickly after its early‑September cutoff, it finally hit shelves on Oct. 7, 2026, aimed at readers ages 7‑12.
Inside, fans can follow Woody’s daring rescue of lost toys, watch Buzz’s high‑tech Star Command training, and enjoy a chaotic game night when Jessie teams up with Lilypad. The comic also spotlights the film’s full voice roster—Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, John Ratzenberger, Tony Hale, Shelby Rabarra and Craig Robinson—giving kids a chance to linger in the Toy Story universe long after the streaming debut on Disney+.
Behind the Scenes of Toy Story 5: How Pixar’s ‘Good’ Ideas Get Shelved—and Sometimes Saved
At SCAD AnimationFest 2026, Pixar story supervisor Jason Katz pulled back the curtain on the grueling creative gauntlet that birthed Toy Story 5. He explained that even after months of hard work, a sequel must earn its place; otherwise, the studio will shelve a "good" idea in favor of artistic integrity. This ruthless self‑judgment, Katz says, is the first battle—if the story doesn’t feel essential, development ends, even if the concept has already been polished.
Katz also highlighted Andrew Stanton’s pivotal role, noting that "Andrew Stanton is Toy Story" and that every new entry starts with his vision. The fifth film, he revealed, didn’t spring from a new Bonnie adventure but from the challenge of stitching together multiple Buzz Lightyear sequences. Connecting those worlds proved "the hardest thing" about the movie, and the team worried the connection might never work.
The interview underscored a pattern: after Toy Story 3 many believed the saga was complete, only for Toy Story 4 and now Toy Story 5 to prove otherwise. Yet Katz admits he still has "no idea" what comes next, emphasizing that Pixar will only continue the franchise if a story truly earns its spot. For fans, knowing the painstaking process behind the film makes the final product all the more special.
Toy Story 5 becomes Disney+’s streaming juggernaut, shattering records and debuting Taylor Swift’s first No. 1 Disney song
Toy Story 5 has vaulted from a $1.1 billion box‑office smash to the most‑watched title across streaming services, logging an eye‑popping 1.5 billion minutes on Disney+ this week. The Nielsen streaming ratings chart shows it comfortably ahead of its nearest rival, Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, which managed 1.3 billion minutes.
The film’s streaming debut on Sept. 23 was celebrated with a piano‑driven music video for Taylor Swift’s original track “I Know It, I Knew You,” Disney’s first ever No. 1 song debut. The video, featuring clips from the movie, now streams on Disney+, Apple Music and Spotify, adding a musical milestone to the franchise’s streaming triumph.
Beyond the numbers, Disney bolstered the Toy Story Collection with a slew of new content—special editions, a 24‑hour Pixar stream, and a behind‑the‑scenes look at Toy Story 5—giving fans a deeper dive into the beloved universe. The sequel, directed by Andrew Stanton and voiced by an all‑star cast including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Keanu Reeves, also earned “Verified Fresh” and “Verified Hot” on Rotten Tomatoes, confirming that critical acclaim matches its commercial might.
With a $250 million production budget—one of the most expensive animated projects ever—the gamble paid off handsomely. Toy Story 5 now stands as one of 2026’s biggest cinematic successes, cementing the franchise’s dominance both on the big screen and in the streaming arena.
Toy Story 5 rockets past $1 billion, becoming 2026’s animated juggernaut
Toy Story 5 has turned the summer box‑office into its own playground, pulling in more than $1.1 billion worldwide on a reported $250 million budget. That staggering haul slots the film as the third‑highest‑grossing title of the year so far, trailing only the record‑smashing Spider‑Man: Brand New Day and the soon‑to‑arrive blockbusters Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.
Beyond the theater, the sequel has become a streaming sensation, currently holding the crown as the most‑watched movie on Disney+ in the United States. Its dual‑platform dominance underscores how the beloved franchise continues to capture both ticket‑buyers and home‑viewers, cementing its place in the 2026 entertainment landscape.
The numbers also highlight the franchise’s remarkable profitability: turning a $250 million production slate into a $1.1 billion global payday. As the next wave of tentpole releases looms, Toy Story 5’s performance proves that Pixar’s timeless characters still have the power to out‑shine even the most hyped superhero spectacles.
From Jessie‑obsessed kid to Pixar co‑director, Kenna Harris reshaped Toy Story 5 in a two‑week rewrite that put the cowgirl front‑and‑center.
Long before she was co‑directing Toy Story 5, Kenna Harris spent afternoons sketching Jessie, recreating every detail from Toy Story 2 and even imagining Woody handing the cowgirl a flower. Decades later, that childhood devotion became a compass as she teamed up with Andrew Stanton, navigating the pressures of her first feature while earning a screenwriting credit on the sequel.
When early screenings showed the original act one falling flat, the team halted production for two weeks. Harris and Stanton spent the first week diagnosing the problem and the second racing to rewrite, shifting the emotional core from a simple play‑time battle to Bonnie’s loneliness. Jessie’s mission transformed into helping the shy girl find a real friend, while a new character, Blaze, and a ranch setting inspired by a real horse at BreyerFest deepened the adventure.
Beyond the story, Harris pushed Pixar’s visual language toward spontaneous, painterly imagination sequences, dubbing the experiments “playtime weeklies.” She also steered the portrayal of Lilypad, the tablet threatening traditional toys, away from a cartoon villain to a nuanced symbol of technology’s grip. The result? A film that not only honors Pixar’s legacy but also bears Harris’s unmistakable imprint, proving that a former Jessie super‑fan can leave a lasting mark on a beloved franchise.
Toy Story 5 swings into the digital age with a brand‑new tablet sidekick
Pixar’s long‑awaited Toy Story 5 finally lands on Disney+ this November, reuniting original voices Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack under the direction of series creator Andrew Stanton. The sequel nudges the beloved gang—Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the rest—into today’s tech‑saturated world, introducing Lilypad, a witty tablet character voiced by newcomer Greta Lee, to explore how children’s attention spans are shifting.
Stanton’s script blends the franchise’s signature humor and heart with a fresh commentary on smartphones and tablets, making the film a bridge between nostalgia and modern family life. While the classic toys grapple with their relevance, Lilypad’s digital savvy adds a layer of satire that speaks to both parents and kids navigating the ever‑changing landscape of play.
Fans can expect the familiar emotional beats that have defined the series, now amplified by the contrast between analog friendship and digital distraction. The return of the original cast ensures a comforting sense of continuity, while Lilypad’s presence promises new comedic dynamics and a timely message about staying connected in a world of screens.
Toy Story 5 joins a star‑studded November lineup on Disney+, alongside a live‑action Moana and a host of holiday classics, positioning it as the season’s must‑watch family adventure.
