Returning characters confirmed for Toy Story 5
Pixar’s Pete Docter has confirmed a couple of characters confirmed to Feature in Toy Story 5, including one surprising return.
Following the announcement of Toy Story 5, Frozen 3 and Zootopia 2 earlier this year, more details for Toy Story 5 have been confirmed, suggesting that the story may be more familiar than you might have expected.
“We’re doing a sequel to “Inside Out,” so you get to go back inside the mind of Joy and Sadness,” said Docter, speaking to Variety. “We have another “Toy Story,” so Woody and Buzz are back. And we have a few other projects, but it’s always a balance.”
It might not be surprising to hear that the duo are back considering their camaraderie across the previous four films. However, the ending of Toy Story 4 makes this more unusual with Woody staying behind with Bo Peep at the travelling carnival. This seemingly makes it a lot more unlikely for Woody and Buzz to ever reunite.
However, it seems that this is exactly what’s happening, as fate would have it, though perhaps with some kind of time skip at least. Toy Story 4 received six tie-in models but nothing has been confirmed for the fifth film at this time. It’s likely a few years away at least, so there’s unlikely to be any news for a while.
At the time of writing, Toy Story features in a few available sets including 40553 Woody and Bo Peep, 43212 Disney Celebration Train and 43221 100 Years of Disney Animation Icons.

I was absolutely devestated on how toy story 4 ended with Woody leaving the gang. Woody is toy story, without Woody it isn’t toy story, hes literally the first thing you see in the first film. they need to stop with the toy stories. maybe they can make more spin offs or maybe another set of something similar it’s like Cars, Cars 2 nor Cars 3 was needed they just drag it out and ruin it.
Toy Story 5? Are you kidding me? Why does there need to be a Toy Story 5? Isn’t 4 enough? I see no reason why we need a Toy Story 5. I really think 4 is enough.
