TOM HANKS, TIM ALLEN, JOAN CUSACK, TAYLOR SWIFT AND MORE CELEBRATE “TOY STORY 5” WORLD PREMIERE IN LA

 


The voice cast and filmmakers behind Disney and Pixar’s highly anticipated upcoming animated adventure “Toy Story 5,” including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Taylor Swift (original song by), Conan O’Brien, Greta Lee, Craig Robinson, Tony Hale, Andrew Stanton (director), Kenna Harris (co-director), Lindsey Collins (producer) and Randy Newman (composer), convened at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood earlier this evening to celebrate the film’s show-stopping world premiere.

 

The premiere concluded with an unforgettable surprise performance from 14-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Taylor Swift, who performed the brand-new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff for the upcoming film. Swift was then joined by 7-time GRAMMY Award and 2-time Academy Award®-winning composer Randy Newman for a special duet of the beloved classic “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” Written and performed by Newman for the original “Toy Story,” the iconic song has been featured in all five of the “Toy Story” films.

 

Voice cast members Scarlett Spears, Shelby Rabara, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Lori Alan, Jay Hernandez, Bonnie Hunt, Kristen Schaal, Wallace Shawn, Krys Marshall, Jeff Bergman, Blake Clark, Anna Vocino, Matty Matheson, John Ratzenberger and Melissa Villaseñor, as well as Pete Docter (executive producer, Pixar chief creative officer) and Jonas Rivera (executive producer) were also in attendance.


During the red-carpet at tonight’s premiere, attendees – including the stars of the film – wrote heartfelt messages to kids in children’s hospitals. Disney, Pixar and Starlight Children’s Foundation are making “Toy Story 5” available to nearly 400 hospitals via the Disney Movie Moments program, which gives patients the opportunity to enjoy movies while they’re still in theaters. In Oakland, Orlando, and Washington, D.C., Disney is taking the experience even further by transforming hospital play areas into Bonnie’s room, along with hosting screenings of the film, character meet and greets, themed activities, and more. More “Toy Story 5” screenings and charitable initiatives will take place for kids and families in the coming weeks.

 

The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” and this time it’s Toy meets Tech. Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen), Jessie (voice of Joan Cusack) and the rest of the gang's jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (voice of Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same? “Toy Story 5” is directed by Academy Award® winner Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Kenna Harris, produced by Lindsey Collins, p.g.a., and written by Stanton and Harris from a story by Stanton. The film features the original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” – performed by Taylor Swift and written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff – along with an original score by Oscar® winner Randy Newman, who returns to score his fifth “Toy Story” feature. “Toy Story 5” is rated PG and releases exclusively in theaters June 19, 2026.
