When we last left the Toy Story gang, Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts) had split off from the rest of the crew in order to help the abandoned toys of the world. Now, in Pixar's upcoming Toy Story 5, they've returned to 8-year-old Bonnie's (voiced by Scarlett Spears) house in order to save her from a new technological threat.
The technology in question is a tablet device named Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee). Bonnie is instantly smitten, spending all her time gazing at the screen instead of inventing new stories with her toys. How will the low-tech toys take on a high-tech toy who is, quite literally, always listening to their every word?
Toy Story 5's latest trailer teases this growing conflict, seeing toys like Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack) and Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen) feeling increasingly abandoned. The trailer also reveals Woody's new look as a more adventuresome toy. He's rocking a poncho now, as well as a bald spot, which answers a question I never even knew I had about toy patent balding.
In addition to Toy Story mainstays like Woody and Buzz, Toy Story 5 will also introduce new toys. New characters include potty training toy Smarty Pants (voiced by Conan O'Brien), hippo GPS Atlas (voiced by Craig Robinson), cheerful camera Snappy (voided by Shelby Rabara), and tech-fearing Dr. Nutcase (voiced by Matty Matheson). Will these toys play nice with the rest of the crew?
