Toy Story 5 Made a Billion Warning Kids About Their Screens

Toy Story 5 made 1.13 billion dollars telling children that a tablet was stealing their playtime, and on September 23 the film arrives on Disney Plus screens.

It opened on June 19 to 159 million dollars domestically and became the highest grossing entry in the series, before adjusting for inflation.

Woody, Buzz and Jessie return to keep Bonnie interested in them after she is handed a tablet named Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee.

Andrew Stanton directed and wrote it with Kenna Harris, and Taylor Swift's I Knew It, I Knew You became a number one single from the soundtrack.

It was the third release of 2026 to pass a billion dollars, after Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Pixar cut between 100 and 150 of its 1,100 staff on July 21, six weeks after the film opened and while it was still climbing toward that figure.

A billion dollars bought no safety at the studio that earned it. Pixar cut between 100 and 150 of its 1,100 staff on July 21, six weeks after the film opened, and blamed the underperformance of a different picture. Polygon notes Hoppers took 389.7 million dollars against a 150 million dollar budget, close to break even, and that these were the deepest cuts since 2024. So the highest grossing entry the franchise has ever had and Pixar's worst layoffs in two years share a calendar. The Disney Plus arrival on September 23 closes the theatrical ledger.
