The toys are back.

Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, Golden Globe winner Tim Allen and Academy Award nominee Joan Cusack return as family favourite toy trio, Woody, Buzz and Jessie in Disney and Pixar’s TOY STORY 5.

In the modern world of play, the toys face their biggest challenge yet, technology. Confronted with the new threat of children abandoning traditional toys for technology, Woody and the gang reunite to battle the latest villain in the playroom, the tablet Lilypad (voiced by Golden Globe nominee Greta Lee).

After the toys hard work to prepare their owner Bonnie to make friends is hijacked by the arrival of Lilypad, veteran toy Woody returns from his adventures in the outside world of lost toys to help set her back on track.

With standout voice performances from Golden Globe nominee Annie Potts, Emmy winner Tony Hale, Keanu Reeves and Wallace Shawn, TOY STORY 5 brings something for the whole family, joining ‘90s nostalgia and timeless fun into a deeply emotional journey of friendship, loyalty and growing up.
