The Toy Story 5 premiere brought together the beloved voice cast at Los Angeles's Dolby Theatre on Tuesday, June 9, with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen taking center stage. The actors, who lend their voices to the franchise's iconic characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively, posed for photos alongside their animated counterparts throughout the evening.

Reprising their legendary roles for the fifth installment, Hanks and Allen were joined by fellow longtime cast members Joan Cusack, who voices Jessie, as well as Wallace Shawn and John Ratzenberger, returning as Rex and Hamm. Bonnie Hunt, who has been part of the franchise since Toy Story 3 as the voice of Dolly, also attended the celebration.

The new film introduces Lilypad, a tablet device voiced by Greta Lee, who becomes a disruptive force in the lives of Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the toy gang. The plot centers on how this new technology challenges the toys' purpose and their role in the life of their owner, Bonnie.

A notable addition to the cast is Jeff Bergman, who steps into the role of Mr. Potato Head, taking over the character that was originally voiced by the late Don Rickles.

The red carpet event drew numerous members of the expanded voice cast, creating a festive atmosphere as the film approaches its theatrical debut. Toy Story 5 is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on June 19.
