Overview
- Pixar released a teaser and poster on Nov. 11 showing Bonnie unboxing Lilypad, a frog-shaped smart tablet that greets her with “Let’s play” as the toys look on in fear.
- Title cards pose the question “The age of toys is over?” establishing a toys-versus-technology conflict that challenges the gang’s place in playtime.
- Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack return alongside Tony Hale, with Greta Lee voicing Lilypad, Conan O’Brien as the tech toy Smarty Pants, and Ernie Hudson stepping in as Combat Carl.
- Andrew Stanton directs from his own script with Kenna Harris as co-director and Lindsey Collins producing, and the filmmakers describe Lilypad’s tone as playfully antagonistic with humor and heart.
- The film is slated for a June 19, 2026 theatrical debut, as industry coverage notes high expectations after Inside Out 2’s $1.5 billion success and Elio’s $152 million global total.
