Toy Story 5 Heads to Disney+ on September 23 After Crossing $1.13 Billion at the Global Box Office
Disney has set a Disney+ streaming premiere date of 23 September for Toy Story 5, giving subscribers access to the franchise's highest-grossing instalment roughly three months after its theatrical release. The film arrives on the streaming service one day after its 4K UHD and Blu-ray disc release on 22 September. It has been available for digital purchase on platforms since 18 August. (Variety)
Directed by Andrew Stanton and co-directed by Kenna Harris, Toy Story 5 opened in theatres on 19 June and earned $159 million domestically — the United States and Canada — in its opening weekend. The film went on to pass $1 billion at the global box office, reaching $1.13 billion to date, according to Variety. That total makes it the highest-grossing Toy Story film, not adjusted for inflation.
It was also the third 2026 release to cross the $1 billion mark, following Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Three films clearing that line in a single calendar year puts 2026 in rare company at the box office.
Alongside the streaming date, Disney has released a new music video for the piano version of Taylor Swift's original song "I Knew It, I Knew You," featuring footage from Toy Story 5. The track is now available on Disney+, Spotify and Apple Music. The song is part of the film's broader promotional rollout, which has stretched from the June opening through the August digital release and now into September's physical and streaming windows.
For anyone who missed the theatrical run — or wants to revisit it — the 22 September Blu-ray and 23 September Disney+ dates close out a release schedule that has kept the film in the conversation across the entire summer. The digital purchase option has been live since mid-August, so the Disney+ premiere is the first time the film will be available to streaming subscribers at no additional cost beyond their subscription.
