All your favorite toys are coming to the small screen starting next week.
Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, which earned a cool $1.09 billion at the global box office and $470.7 million domestically, will be available for digital purchase or rental starting August 18.
The fifth film, directed by Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris, sets toy against tech. “Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack) and the rest of the gang's jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie (Scarlett Spears),” the logline reads.

In addition to the regular voice cast, the film is as star-studded as a kid’s bedroom ceiling. While Lee voices the controversial frog-shaped tablet, Conan O’Brien is Smarty Pants, a toilet training toy, and Craig Robinson is Atlas, an upbeat hippo GPS toy. Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also known as Bad Bunny, makes a voice cameo as Pizza with Sunglasses and Alan Cumming makes his cameo as Evil Bullseye, Bullseye’s playtime alter ego during an imagination sequence.
If how much money it made in theaters doesn’t speak to you, the animated flick also got a 93% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it nearly as beloved as the rest of the franchise.
