Toy Story 5 has now landed in cinemas, bringing Woody and Buzz back into our lives again, although it's Jessie who finally gets the lead role in a Toy Story movie as she tries to save Bonnie from the temptation of technology.

If you haven't been persuaded by the strong reviews to go and see Toy Story 5 at the cinema, you might be waiting for it to land on Disney+. Disney has yet to confirm a streaming release date for the new movie, but we know it'll eventually join the others on Disney+.

We've taken a look back at recent Disney releases to work out when you can expect Toy Story 5 to be released on Disney+, as well as when it'll be released on digital platforms.

When will Toy Story 5 be released on Disney+?

As mentioned above, Toy Story 5 has yet to confirm its Disney+ release date, but we have a pretty good idea of when to expect it to land on the streaming service.

Disney releases usually take around 100 days from their cinema release to their streaming debut. It's sometimes a bit shorter and sometimes a bit longer, but almost always around the three-month mark – unless we're talking about Avatar movies which take six months.

That means that Toy Story 5 will land on Disney+ in late September and since Disney favours a Wednesday release for new streaming titles, the likeliest release dates for Toy Story 5 are Wednesday 23 September (just before the 100-day window) or Wednesday 30 September (just after the 100-day window).

What to Read Next

In the meantime, you can watch Toy Story 5: A Special Look on Disney+, which features a scene from the movie alongside a trailer, as well as footage from the UK red carpet for the movie with the main cast.

There's also a special one-off documentary Toy Story: 30 Years & Beyond that looks at Pixar's legacy, as well as every other Toy Story movie and short film that's been released to date. You can even watch the music video for Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 song 'I Knew It, I Knew You'.

If you're not a Disney+ subscriber, you can sign up to the streaming service from £5.99 per month for its ad-supported package. There are also ad-free packages for £9.99 and £14.99 per month, with annual subscriptions for £99.90 and £149.90, respectively.

When will Toy Story 5 be released on digital platforms?

Before its streaming release, you'll be able to watch Toy Story 5 at home when Disney releases the movie on digital platforms.

It typically takes two months from the cinema release to the digital release, which means Toy Story 5 should be available to buy digitally from mid-to-late August.
