Tim Allen Confirms He Has Wrapped Up Filming for Toy Story 5

LOS ANGELES, CA — Tim Allen has announced that he has completed his voice work for the upcoming Toy Story 5, set to release on June 19, 2026. The long-standing franchise continues to thrive with Allen reprising his role as Buzz Lightyear alongside Tom Hanks as Woody.

In a recent post on social media, Allen expressed his emotions about finishing his part, saying, “I did wrap my part in Toy Story 5 Friday. Really affected me. I love these creators and love this story and blessed to be in this wonderful space suit for so many years.”

This latest installment of the beloved Pixar series will focus primarily on Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack. According to Allen, the new film is a clever story about Jessie’s adventures. He shared during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, “It’s all about Jessie, which is really cool. She’s in trouble, and she needs help. We’re all over, so she has to gather everybody.”

Director Andrew Stanton revealed that Toy Story 5 will address how modern technology affects children’s playtime. “It’s not even really about a battle so much as the realisation of an existential problem: that nobody’s really playing with toys anymore,” Stanton commented. The film will also introduce a new character, Lilypad, a high-tech tablet, adding a layer of commentary on technology’s role in children’s lives.

As Toy Story 5 approaches its release, Allen’s completion of his filming indicates that Pixar is making progress on the animation. While Tom Hanks and Joan Cusack’s filming statuses are not yet known, fans eagerly await this next chapter in the Toy Story saga.
