- Toy Story 5 is now available for digital purchase on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, following its global box-office run that crossed the $1 billion mark
- Disney set the physical release for September 22, offering 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD editions alongside a Steelbook Blu-ray with a variant cover and a five-movie box set
- The film is the first new installment in the franchise since 2019, directed by Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, whose credits include Finding Nemo and WALL-E
- Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack return as voices for Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie, joined by newcomers Conan O'Brien and Greta Lee
- Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" is featured in the film; music and lyric videos for the track are included exclusively on the digital release, not on the physical disc
- Disney+ has not announced a streaming date for the film, though previous release patterns suggest a late September or early October window
Why it matters: Toy Story 5 cleared $1 billion globally, giving Disney a franchise anchor as the company leans into streaming. The staggered rollout — digital now, physical on September 22, Disney+ likely by October — lets Disney capture premium sales revenue across multiple windows before the film becomes available to subscribers at no extra cost.
