Toy Story 5 shows that the franchise has staying power as the new entry becomes the third movie in the series to cross a billion dollars at the box office and also the sixth Pixar film to achieve that milestone. Woody and Buzz reunite for a new adventure with Jesse as their kid, Bonnie, gets caught up in a new era of touch screens. The Disney film has enjoyed its summer run and has recently become available to rent or own in digital on-demand.
Toy Story 5 also just arrived in a limited-edition 4K SteelBook and Blu-ray yesterday, featuring the classic characters alongside the new tech characters, including Lilypad and Smarty Pants. So, when will the hit fifth entry of the franchise settle in on the Disney+ streaming platform? Saddle up, because this summer’s hit animated film is now available to stream on the service. Disney announces and celebrates Toy Story 5‘s streaming with a new trailer, which you can check out in the embed above.
Families can now also pre-order the Toy Story 5 Original Soundtrack in vinyl and CD formats. The soundtrack features Swift’s hit single “I Knew It, I Knew You,” along with an original score by 7-time GRAMMY Award and 2-time Academy Award-winning composer Randy Newman, who returns to score his fifth Toy Story feature. The vinyl and CD will be available on Friday, September 25, 2026.
According to Disney’s press release,
In celebration of the film’s debut on Disney+, Disney and Pixar are bringing the magic of “Toy Story” to Fortnite with the launch of “Toy Story 5: The Great Toy Rescue,” a two-week limited-time activation running September 22 through October 5, 2026. As Disney continues to build new and unique experiences within Fortnite, “Toy Story 5: The Great Toy Rescue” marks the first time Disney and Pixar have connected a Disney-branded adventure across multiple participating creator-made islands in Fortnite. The new adventure launched yesterday in the lead-up to today’s “Toy Story 5” Disney+ debut.
The film was getting good buzz (no pun intended) prior to its release and our Chris Bumbray echoed the positive reactions with an 8/10 review, where he says, “Toy Story 5 is terrific and, at certain moments, comes close to equaling the original trilogy. In fact, the first half hour of the film may be the strongest in the series to date, even if it begins to spin its wheels a bit later on. Ultimately, the film winds up just a notch below the original trilogy, but well ahead of the fourth movie and easily Pixar’s strongest overall film since its heyday.”
He also stated, “In the end, I had a wonderful time with Toy Story 5, which benefits from having the director of Finding Nemo and WALL-E, Andrew Stanton, at the helm. It genuinely feels designed as a full-circle experience for the kids who grew up with the original trilogy and are now in their thirties or forties, facing many of the same issues Jessie is. It’s bittersweet, often moving, and much closer to the brilliance of the original trilogy than you might expect.”
