Recently released photos from the set of Toy Story 5 appear to have spoiled some major plot points from the movie, which is scheduled to come out in 2026. Pixar is bringing us back to the world of toys for the fifth installment in the beloved animated series. While details are scarce, we know that familiar characters will return, and the story will focus on how kids interact with technology today.
Good news for fans of the upcoming 2026 film! Some recently released merchandise has given us a small peek at possible spoilers, including hints about new characters, story elements, and a fresh look for a familiar face. Fans on Reddit first noticed the designs on various clothing items that will be sold with the movie.
The fifth Toy Story movie is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026. Tim Allen and Tom Hanks will return to voice their iconic characters as the toys grapple with how new gadgets like phones and tablets are capturing the attention of their child.
3 Toy Story 5 Spoilers Revealed Via New Merch
A New Look For Woody
Since first appearing in the original Toy Story film, Tom Hanks’ character Woody, the toy cowboy, hasn’t changed much in appearance. He’s easily recognized by his classic outfit: a brown cowboy hat, a yellow plaid shirt, and cowboy boots.
Things are set to change in Toy Story 5, as suggested by recently surfaced photos of new merchandise. One of the leaked pictures shows Woody sporting a fresh look – a red poncho draped over his shoulders and neck.
It’s unknown if this change will stick with the movie, but considering how Toy Story 4 ended – with Woody choosing to explore the world with Bo Peep and leaving his other toys behind – it suggests we might see a new, more rugged version of Woody when he returns from his adventures.
Three New Toy Characters
The upcoming Toy Story 5 will bring back many beloved characters, and also introduce some new ones. One new addition is Lilypad, a tablet who will serve as the main villain, voiced by Anna Faris.
Recently released merchandise has given us a first look at some new characters coming in the movie. Photos show three new toys together: a blue hippo, a retro-style Speak & Spell, and a little purple camera.
Leaks suggest the playful, talkative hippo character will be called Atlas, and the camera character is Snappy. The name of the third character remains unknown, as does the cast for all three roles.
A Potential Filmic Inspiration
The final hint from the leaked merchandise suggests a possible influence on the movie’s style. One of the shirts references the classic western film The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, which features a gunslinger and an outlaw joining forces to defeat a shared enemy.
The shirt displays Woody, Buzz, and Jesse together, with the phrase “The Cowboy, the Ranger, and the Sheriff” printed across the front. This design might hint at the direction of Toy Story 5, suggesting the story will move beyond just focusing on cowboy themes, given characters like Woody and Jesse.
As the new story progresses, Woody, Buzz, and all the toys – even those who usually disagree – will likely have to team up. They’ll form an uneasy alliance to defeat the new villain, a tablet named Lilypad (you can find more details about Lilypad’s part in Toy Story 5), and try to win back the affection of their owner.
