Toy Story 5 Trailer Drops

 

Of all the animated sequels releasing this year, the most highly anticipated has to be Toy Story 5. Although some are concerned it could be a sequel too far, a lot of the audience is just happy to see Woody, Buzz and the gang again. Pixar have this week released a brand new full-length trailer for the film, alongside a new poster.

The toys are back in town, and this time Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang's jobs are under threat from Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee), a new state-of-the-art tablet that is competing for Bonnie's attention. Lilypad has her own ideas of what's best for Bonnie, and the scene is set for the ultimate clash between toys and tech.

The trailer also teases the much anticipated reunion between Woody and Buzz, after Woody made the decision to leave the gang and help lost toys at the end of 2019's Toy Story 4.

The sequel features a mix of familiar and new characters. Making his debut is Craig Robinson as Atlas, a cheerful talking Hippo GPS toy; Shelby Rabara voices Snappy, an excitable camera toy; Scarlett Spears appears as the now 8-year-old Bonnie; Mykal-Michelle Harris is Blaze, an independent 8-year-old girl who loves animals and Matty Matheson stars at Dr Nutcase, a tech-fearing toy.

Also rounding out the cast are John Ratzenberger as Hamm, Wallace Shawn as Rex, Blake Clark as Slinky Dog, Jeff Bergman as Mr Potato Head,  Anna Vocino as Mrs Potato Head, Annie Potts as Bo Peep, Bonnie Hunt as Dolly, Melissa Villaseñor as Karen Beverly, John Hopkins as Mr Pricklepants, Kristen Schaal as Trixie, Ernie Hudson as Combat Carl B and Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom.

These are in addition to the previously announced voice cast which includes Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz), Joan Cusack (Jessie) Greta Lee (Lilypad), Conan O'Brien (Smarty Pants) and Tony Hale (Forky).

Toy Story 5 is written and directed by Academy Award winner Andrew Stanton (Wall.E, Finding Nemo) and co-directed by Kenna Harris (Ciao Alberto) and produced by Lindsey Collins (Turning Red, Wall.E, Finding Dory). Randy Newman returns to score his fifth Toy Story film.

Toy Story 5 will be released in cinemas from June 19 on both sides of the pond. Check out the trailer below.
