Toy Story 5 Disney+ release date is September 23, giving the Pixar sequel its streaming debut after a June 19 theatrical launch. The film had already passed $1 billion before Disney set that date, so the move extends a box-office hit to subscribers who waited for the digital window.
Taylor Swift adds another lane
Taylor Swift also enters the rollout with I Knew It, I Knew You, the original song she wrote and produced with Jack Antonoff for Toy Story 5. Disney put out a new music video for the track, and it is available on Disney+, Spotify and Apple Music, which gives the film one more access point beyond the movie itself.
Andrew Stanton directed Toy Story 5 and wrote it with Kenna Harris from a story by Stanton. Lindsey Collins and Jessica Choi produced it, and the voice cast includes Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Conan O’Brien, Scarlett Spears, Greta Lee, Shelby Rabara and Mykal-Michelle Harris.
$160 million to $1 billion
The film opened on June 19 to $160 million, the kind of start that keeps a title in theaters long enough to build a premium run before streaming. Toy Story 5 is now the third Toy Story movie to cross $1 billion, joining Toy Story 3 in 2010 and Toy Story 4 in 2024.
That is the pressure point here: the movie is already a billion-dollar box office hit, yet its next major release step is only now its Disney+ streaming debut. September 23 puts the title in a new revenue lane without waiting for the theatrical momentum to disappear, and it gives Disney+ subscribers a straightforward date to plan around instead of an open-ended window.
September 23 on Disney+
For subscribers, the practical move is simple: Toy Story 5 arrives on Disney+ on September 23, with the Swift video already available on Disney+ as part of the same release cycle. Disney did not explain why it chose that date, but the sequence is clear enough — a June 19 theatrical launch, a $160 million opening, a $1 billion result, then the streaming handoff.
