Tim Allen has recently shared some new information about Toy Story 5, revealing some interesting plot details about the upcoming Pixar sequel.
What did Tim Allen say about Toy Story 5?
Speaking during a recent appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Allen dove into the highly anticipated upcoming movie. While he couldn’t give away too much, Allen did say that Jessie, the cowgirl doll played by Joan Cusack, plays a large role in the movie.
“It’s such a great story. I can only tell a little bit of it,” Allen said. “It’s a Jessie story, Tom [Hanks] and I have to reunite, and there’s just the funniest thing, because there’s a whole bunch of Buzzes involved. And there’s a reason why there’s a whole bunch of me, so there’s 100 of me in a separate story, and I’m having so much fun.”
Allen also spoke about how he was initially hesitant to return to the movie after 2019’s Toy Story 4, but was eventually convinced by Disney’s Bob Iger. “You wonder if four was too many,” said Allen. “Is five going to be too much? According to the scuttlebutt, the writer that’s doing it wrote one of the better ones, and he said, ‘If I didn’t get this right, I wouldn’t do it.’ So, it could be a very, very interesting way to reunite it.”
The synopsis for Toy Story 5 reads, “The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time around it’s Toy meets Tech. Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder when they go head to head with this all-new threat to playtime.”
Toy Story 5 hits theaters on June 19, 2026. Although there are rumors that more movies are in the works, at this time, there’s been no confirmation or announcement from Disney or Pixar regarding any additional Toy Story movies; that being said, Pixar filmmaker and CCO Pete Doctor recently said the company plans on releasing one original film followed by one sequel in the years to come.
