Toy Story 5: Streaming Date, Cast, and How to Watch After Theaters
Toy Story 5 opened in U.S. theaters on June 19, 2026. Here is the confirmed cast and plot, plus what is known (and still just reported) about its Disney+ and Hulu streaming date.
Toy Story 5 is already playing. Pixar’s fifth Woody and Buzz adventure opened in U.S. theaters on June 19, 2026, after a June 9 world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and it is still on the big screen as of mid-July. Disney has not yet announced when the movie will reach Disney+, so here is what is confirmed, what is only reported, and how to watch in the meantime.
The quick answer
- In theaters now: opened June 19, 2026 (world premiere June 9, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre, LA)
- Future streaming home: Disney+ and Hulu, which Disney owns. No official streaming date has been announced.
- Reported estimates (not confirmed): a digital purchase or rental (PVOD) possibly as early as summer 2026, and a Disney+ debut somewhere between late September and November 2026, depending on how long the theatrical run lasts
- Trailer: available now on Pixar’s official YouTube channel
- Behind the camera: directed by Andrew Stanton, co-directed by McKenna “Kenna” Harris, from Pixar and Walt Disney Studios
When will Toy Story 5 stream on Disney+?
Disney has confirmed that its own platforms, Disney+ and Hulu, will eventually be the film’s streaming home, which is standard for a Pixar release. What Disney has not confirmed is a date.
Reports point to a two-step rollout that Disney typically follows. A digital purchase or rental window (PVOD) could open as early as summer 2026, letting you buy or rent the film through digital storefronts before it hits a subscription service. After that, estimates for the Disney+ debut range widely, from late September to November 2026, and the timing usually depends on how strong the theatrical run stays. Treat all of these dates as reported estimates rather than official announcements. Given the film’s large opening (more on that below), Disney has little incentive to rush it to streaming.
The most reliable way to know the moment it becomes available is Disney+ itself. The film’s Disney+ page is live now with the streaming date still listed as to be announced, so bookmarking it (or adding it to your watchlist) is the simplest way to get notified.
How to watch right now
For now, theaters are the only way to see Toy Story 5. You can find showtimes and ticketing links through the official Disney movies page and the official Pixar page.
If you just want a preview, the official trailer is on Pixar’s YouTube channel. Pixar released the first teaser on November 11, 2025, and full trailers have followed since.
Who is in the voice cast?
The core ensemble is back. Returning voices include:
- Tom Hanks as Woody
- Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear
- Joan Cusack as Jessie
- Tony Hale as Forky
- Annie Potts as Bo Peep
- Wallace Shawn as Rex
- Keanu Reeves as Duke Caboom
Joining them are Greta Lee as Lilypad (“Lily”), a new frog-themed tablet device that drives the story, and Conan O’Brien as a character called Smarty Pants.
What is Toy Story 5 about?
Pixar frames the movie as “Toy meets Tech.” It is set roughly two years after Toy Story 4, and the toys’ place in kid Bonnie’s life is thrown into question when Lilypad, the new tablet device, arrives and quickly becomes her disruptive new favorite. That sets up the central conflict for Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang as they figure out where old-fashioned toys fit in a screen-first world.
How is it performing?
Strongly. Toy Story 5 opened to an estimated $312 million worldwide, split roughly $160 million domestic and $152 million overseas. That is the biggest opening weekend in Toy Story franchise history and the biggest global opening of 2026 so far. A result like that is exactly why the streaming window is unlikely to arrive quickly.
Catching up before you go
If you want to revisit the earlier films first, Disney+ is Disney’s streaming home for the franchise, and the Toy Story 5 Disney+ page is a good jumping-off point once you are in the app. The new movie assumes some familiarity with where things left off in Toy Story 4, so a quick rewatch helps set up the “toy versus tech” stakes.
Bottom line
Toy Story 5 is in theaters now, and that is currently the only official way to see it. Disney+ and Hulu will be its streaming home, but Disney has not set a date, and the reported windows (a possible summer 2026 digital release and a late-2026 Disney+ debut) are estimates rather than confirmations. Watch the film’s Disney+ page for the official announcement.
