Toy Story 5 is now available on digital platforms after arriving Tuesday, August 18, bringing Pixar’s billion dollar summer hit home less than two months after its theatrical debut. The film can be bought or rented on Apple TV, Prime Video, Fandango at Home and YouTube, with the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD release following on September 22, per Disney’s home entertainment announcement carried by ABC7.
Five Deleted Scenes, Including How Jessie Met Bullseye
The digital release carries a substantial bonus slate. Five deleted scenes are included, titled First Meet, Failed Rescue, Playtime, Goodbye Charlie and Reunion, introduced by director Andrew Stanton and co-director Kenna Harris. First Meet is the one already making the rounds online, revealing how Jessie and Bullseye first found each other, a piece of franchise history the films never showed. The set also includes behind the scenes featurettes on the returning cast and the army of Buzz Lightyear toys, a gag reel and a feature commentary from Harris, production designer Bob Pauley and visual effects supervisor Thomas Jordan.
Music fans get their own hook. The digital edition includes Taylor Swift’s music video for I Knew It, I Knew You, plus a lyric video for the song, while the soundtrack with Swift’s track and Randy Newman’s original score is up for preorder on vinyl and CD.
Physical Media And The Missing Disney+ Date
The September 22 physical release includes a limited edition 4K SteelBook featuring the returning toys alongside new tech characters Lilypad and Smarty Pants, and Disney is offering a two movie digital collection pairing the original Toy Story with the new film, plus a five movie set. One date is conspicuously absent: Disney has not announced when Toy Story 5 streams on Disney+, and the August 18 release is paid digital only.
A Billion Dollar Sendoff
The home release closes out a massive theatrical run. Toy Story 5 opened June 19 and has grossed roughly $1.09 billion worldwide, with $470.7 million of that domestic, making it one of the year’s biggest films in a summer that also produced record Spider-Man numbers. The Andrew Stanton directed film pits Woody, Buzz and Jessie against Lilypad, a tablet with her own ideas about what is best for Bonnie, and its toys versus tech premise carried it to the franchise’s best global total. It joined the D23 conversation too, sitting alongside the other Pixar reveals we covered when Incredibles 3 showed its first look.
