First Toy Story 5 trailer has Pixar fans very confused: “Disney is basically saying Toy Story 4 is skippable”

The first teaser trailer for *Toy Story 5* has landed, and even though it doesn’t reveal much, it has left many fans confused.

The new clip, which you can watch below, opens with a package arriving for Bonnie. Her other toys—Rex, Slinky Dog, Forky, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, and Jessie—all watch on in fear. Bonnie opens the box to reveal a tablet called Lilypad, which will no doubt become the villain. Text appears on screen reading, **”The age of toys is over?”**

However, the most interesting part of the clip comes right at the end, where Buzz Lightyear and Woody appear. This begs the question: how did Woody get back to Bonnie and the other toys after *Toy Story 4*?

Many fans have noticed this too. One wrote on Twitter, “How did Woody get back here so fast?” Another added, “This concept would be SUCH a perfect way to continue the story if they hadn’t made *Toy Story 4*. It’s making it very difficult for me to get on board with this movie.”

To recap, *Toy Story 4* saw Woody finally reunite with Bo Peep, who was donated to a new owner in *Toy Story 2*. Woody finds his lost love while on Bonnie’s family road trip. At the end of the movie, Woody chooses to stay with Bo Peep at a carnival and become a “lost toy” alongside her and her new friends. After an emotional goodbye, Buzz and the rest of the toys leave with Bonnie.

So, how exactly has Woody found his way back?

Considering that the carnival was far enough away that Bonnie’s family had to rent an RV to travel there, it’s hard to imagine how a small toy like Woody could make his way back to Bonnie’s bedroom unscathed. The teaser also shows no sign of Bo Peep. This suggests that *Toy Story 5* might brush over the events of *Toy Story 4*, which is confusing since the teaser includes characters introduced in the fourth film, such as Forky and his new companion.

The logline offers little clarity, reading:
**“Lilypad, a high-tech frog-shaped smart tablet that makes Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the gang’s jobs exponentially harder when they have to go head to head with the all-new threat to playtime.”**

We’ll just have to wait for more teasers to see how this mystery unfolds.

The movie welcomes back the original voice cast, including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack as Jessie. It also introduces new voices, with Greta Lee (*Past Lives*) as Lilypad, and Conan O’Brien as Smarty Pants.
