At Disney's official fan event "Destination D23" held in Florida, the latest information on the long-awaited "Toy Story 5" and details of the new magical original film "Hexed" were announced.
A special screening of the first three minutes of "Toy Story 5" was shown at the venue, drawing huge cheers from fans.
Director Andrew Stanton announced that the theme of "Toy Story 5," scheduled for release in the US on June 19, 2026, will be "toys vs. technology."
He explained the direction of the film, saying, "The roles of Buzz, Woody, Jessie and their friends will be put to the test as they encounter something kids today are obsessed with: electronic devices."
The opening three-minute video, which was shown at the venue as a special feature, showed dozens of Buzz Lightyear action figures stranded on a desert island after a shipping container accident, symbolizing the situation in which these analog toys face the changes of the digital age.
It was also announced that a new character, Smarty Pants, will be voiced by popular American comedian Conan O'Brien.
Attention is focused on how this popular series, which dates back to the first film in 1995, will portray the changing environment surrounding children today.
Walt Disney Animation Studios announced a new original film, "Hexed," scheduled for release in the US in November 2026. Jared Bush, the studio's Chief Creative Officer, took the stage to reveal the title of the film, details of the project, and a new title logo.
