'Toy Story 5' comes to Disney+ as cast reflects on film's success and timely, emotional message
"Toy Story 5" streams on Disney+ beginning on September 23.
After a record breaking run at the box office, "Toy Story 5" will now be available for home audiences to stream.
The film's stars talk about the franchise's incredible success, and why this fifth installment is one that's resonating with parents and kids alike.
"This year has been a complete dream," says Scarlett Spears, the voice of Bonnie. "More than a dream."
"Seriously, it's been crazy," adds Mykal-Michelle Harris, the voice of Blaze.
The two young actors are new to the "Toy Story" franchise, and have become quick friends.
"I feel like Bonnie and Blaze are the same as Scarlett and I," says Harris. "We're best friends in person, too."
The girls also feel a personal connection to their characters, growing up in a world of toys versus tech.
Tony Hale returns as everyone's favorite plastic-utensil-turned-toy, Forky.
"When I heard that Forky had a little bit in this new one, I got excited because I want more of Forky," says Hale. "I want more of that wonder."
"Toy Story 5" broke box office records, bringing in more than $1.3 billion dollars worldwide.
"I was asked recently: 'Were you shocked by the success?' asks Hale. "It's so timely. Parents and kids are dealing with that crossroad of technology, and the way that they just put it out there, it was so creative. They walked that line of saying, 'Hey, we're not bashing it, but nothing's going to replace true connection.'"
That connection is also captured in a new character named Snappy, a digital camera voiced by Shelby Rabara.
"Joining the 'Toy Story' legacy, just wow," says Rabara. "It was a dream come true. Honestly, a dream come true."
After filling theaters across the globe, the cast says they're thrilled fans can now bring "Toy Story 5" home.
"I think it's just a great movie to watch with your family," says Harris.
"And then, after you're done watching 'Toy Story,' you will want to play with your toys, and run outside and play," adds Spears. "Everyone should watch it. It's awesome."
"Toy Story 5" streams on Disney+ beginning on September 23.
