Woody and Buzz Are Back: 'Toy Story 5' Hits Disney+ Next Month

Get your streaming queues ready because Bonnie’s playroom is expanding straight to your couch. Pixar’s mega-hit sequel *Toy Story 5* is officially heading to Disney+ next month. After shattering expectations and hauling in over $1 billion at the global box office during its summer theatrical run, the animated blockbuster will make its home viewing debut on Sept. 23, exactly three months after it first landed in theaters. The fifth chapter will take its place inside the platform's dedicated *Toy Story* Collection. That is huge news for digital marathons, considering the four-movie franchise already holds the crown as the absolute most-viewed film series on Disney+, with subscribers racking up a jaw-dropping two billion hours of streaming time across the catalog.

This time around, the iconic gang faces a very modern threat: screen addiction. In *Toy Story 5*, longtime fan favorites Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie run into major trouble when their owner, Bonnie, receives a brand-new tablet named Lilypad. The high-tech device arrives packed with disruptive ideas about what is best for Bonnie, forcing the classic playthings to fight for their survival in a world obsessed with gadgets. To kick off the home release excitement, Disney+ teamed up with music streaming giants Spotify and Apple Music to release a fresh promotional music video. The video pairs emotional highlights from the film with a piano rendition of Taylor Swift’s song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” building even more hype for the movie's streaming launch.

The film was directed by Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, who also penned the screenplay alongside co-writer Kenna Harris.
