Toy Story 5 Opening Scene Features a Ton of High-Tech Buzz Lightyears Stranded on an Island, Conan O'Brien to Voice a Potty Training Toy
Toy Story 5 is set to be released in Summer 2026 and we were treated to the opening scene of the much-anticipated new entry in the beloved franchise, and it featured a ton of Hi-Tech Edition Buzz Lightyears.
We open on one of these Buzz toys waking up on an island, and we see a ton of others, in and outside of thier boxes, who have crashed on a small island after their shipping container got lost at sea. We see that these toys are updated versions, as Buzz has a digital display on the front and he looks very new and shiny.
He starts opening up the other Buzz toys and they begin searching the island for an escape, using their lasers on the way, even though they don't work... because they are a toy haha. They realize their chance to escape is not great and gather around a fire. One of the Buzz toys looks up and sees a star in the sky and speaks his first words - "Star... Command... Rendezvous Star Command"
We then see the stars in the sky form the Toy Story 5 logo and the footage is over!
That wasn't all, however, as it was revealed that Conan O'Brien will be playing a new character named Smarty Pants - a potty training toy! He will join Lilypad, the new iPad-like toy that Bonnie was gifted and will feed into the theme of the film - Toy Meets Tech.
The Mandalorian and Grogu Clip Features Din Djain Acting Like Darth Vader in That Iconic Rogue One Scene and Many Adorable Grogu Moments
The Mandalorian & Grogu is set to be released in theaters on May 22, 2026, and we were treated to a clip of the film at Destination D23 featuring AT-ATs, Grogu being just absolutely adorable, and a scene of Mando acting just like Darth Vader in Rogue One
The footage kicks off with a group Snowtroopers getting ready to defend themselves from a threat we soon learn is Din Djarin. He uses all kinds of tools to just take everyone down with ease, from his flamethrower to knives to a blaster and more. It was a very exciting scene that, like we said, very much felt like that iconic scene from Rogue One.
It then cut to one of the AT-ATs exploding and falling off a treacherous and snowy path in the mountains, and it's an epic look at how The Mandalorian translates to the big screen.
Sigourney Weaver was also seen on-screen with Grogu trying to steal her snacks, Zeb popped up for a moment, and Grogu is even seen using the Force to handle a GONK-like droid and dodging one of its tires in a wonderful way.
The last shot was of a Hutt in an arena who just may be the one played by Jeremy Allen White, and it ends with what looked like Grogu eating something like popcorn in excitement.
Avengers: Doomsday Directors Joe and Anthony Russo Share A Message on Set That Is Crashed by Paul Rudd
While we didn't get any news about Avengers: Doomsday, those in attendance at Destination D23 were treated to a very funny message from directors Joe and Anthony Russo that was crashed by Paul Rudd.
The team is developing the movie in London, and Paul Rudd just does what he does best and keeps unintentially getting in the way while just trying to help and say hi.
Developing...
