The Toy Story franchise has become one of the biggest and most iconic animated series in the world, having collected over a whopping $3 billion globally across its four main films and the spin-off Lightyear. Luckily for fans who’ve been eagerly waiting since Toy Story 4 hit theaters in 2019, a fifth installment was officially announced in 2023 - sparking excitement to see their favorite living toys take on yet another round of heartwarming (and possibly heartbreaking) adventures. What’s more? One of the voice actors from the franchise just revealed an exciting new detail about the upcoming film.

In a recent interview with WIVB, actor Tim Allen - the voice behind Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story films, confirmed that Woody and Buzz will reunite in Toy Story 5. He also teased that the new film will focus heavily on Jessie. That’s all he was willing to reveal, choosing to stay tight-lipped on any further details. Still, the news has left fans buzzing with excitement, eagerly speculating about what’s in store for their favorite toys this time around.


Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans had a field day with Tim Allen’s reveal, flooding the internet with hilarious thoughts and wild theories about what Toy Story 5 might bring.

"There was a Toy Story 4?" @younghavok wrote.

This user definitely seems late to the party, having just found out Toy Story 4 even existed, despite it releasing six years ago and raking in over a billion dollars at the box office!


"So what’s the point of the ending of the fourth one?" wondered another user, @MCUPerfectGifs.

Spoiler alert - but didn’t Toy Story 4 end with Woody setting off on a new journey as a “lost toy”? So how exactly are the makers pulling off another film, as this fan points out?

Quite the hilarious image, showing just how much Pixar seems to be milking the Toy Story franchise, to the point where the cow’s now as thin as a stick!


"Can’t wait for them to reunite again in Toy Story 10," @maker4004 commented.

Every time people think Pixar is done with Toy Story, they surprise us with more, and this user is convinced that Woody and Buzz will keep reuniting until Toy Story 10!


"It will never end. Even when Tim and Tom are gone the AI will just voice them," pointed another user, @SamStark93

Will the makers keep churning out Toy Story movies for decades, using AI to recreate Tim Allen’s and Tom Hanks’ voices? That would be pretty wild!

Tim Allen’s brief tease about what fans can expect from Toy Story 5 has definitely left everyone curious and excited. But we’ll just have to wait and see, as the film is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026.
