Toy Story 5 trailer introduces a “Toy meets Tech” conflict as Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the rest of the gang confront a new kind of replacement risk – kids choosing screens over playtime.
The footage centers on Bonnie, now described as 8, receiving Lilypad, a smart tablet-like device framed as the disruptive rival that redirects her attention and reshapes the toys’ place in her life. Woody and Buzz reunite to respond, with Jessie positioned as part of the core team pushing back against the tech-first shift.
A standout sequence features a Lightyear army: an opening scene described as roughly 50 malfunctioning Buzz Lightyear units stuck in “toy mode,” setting the tone for chaos driven by modern systems.
