Woody and Buzz reunite! Tim Allen spills the beans on 'Toy Story 5'

Image: Instagram The highly anticipated fifth instalment of the beloved Toy Story franchise is coming back, and fans will be excited to know that the two besties, Buzz Lightyear and Woody, will reunite after parting ways in "Toy Story 4".

Tom Hanks and I do — Woody and I — do realign. And there's an unbelievable opening scene with Buzz Lightyear. I can give you that, but I can't give you much more,' Allen confirmed in an interview with WIVB In "Toy Story 5", Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack, takes centre stage, allowing for a deeper exploration of her character. The film may explore her backstory or relationships with other toys, potentially bringing new energy and character interactions to the franchise. With the reunion of Woody and Buzz, Jessie's newfound focus, and the introduction of new themes, promises to deliver an exciting and emotional ride. Fans can expect a fresh perspective on the toys' relationships in the digital age, new adventures with Jessie taking centre stage, and the franchise's signature blend of humour and emotional depth. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the franchise, marking three decades since the release of the first film in 1995. Created by Pixar Animation Studios, the franchise has become a beloved staple of modern animation, known for its lovable characters, heart-warming stories, and groundbreaking animation. "Toy Story 5" is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026, and fans are buzzing (pun intended) with excitement.

Remember Me? ‘Coco 2' in the works at Disney and Pixar
'Coco' is getting a sequel. Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger said Thursday that 'Coco 2' is currently in development at Pixar Animation Studios. 'While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humor, heart and adventure,' Iger said at the company's shareholders meeting. The sequel will reunite the creative team behind the first, including directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina. 'Coco' followed Miguel, a 12-year-old boy with musical dreams who goes to the Land of the Dead to find out more about his family's history. The original grossed over $814 million at the worldwide box office and won two Oscars, for best animated feature and best song for the catchy hit 'Remember Me.' It also won a Golden Globe and the BAFTA for best animated film. 'Coco' was Pixar's first feature film with a lead character from a minority group, and one of the largest American productions ever to feature an almost entirely Latino cast. 'Coco 2' is reportedly eyeing a 2029 theatrical release.
