'Toy Story 5' New Voices
Bonnie – Scarlett Spears

Nine-year-old Scarlett Spears takes over the role of Bonnie, which was previously voiced by Madeleine McGrawin Toy Story 4 . Spears may not be in double digits yet, but she's one of Hollywood's most exciting young stars. The Florida native got her start on the long-running soap opera General Hospital back in 2022 and played the younger version of the title character in 2025's Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado .
Most recently, she played Young Glinda in Wicked: For Good . But voicing Bonnie is so special for Scarlett. "My mom was a little girl and watched it, and now I'm in the movie!" she told Entertainment Tonight at the premiere.
In Toy Story 4 , we saw Bonnie go crazy for Forky—a toy spork she crafted on her first day of kindergarten. Forky quickly became Bonnie's most cherished toy, but things turn a corner in Toy Story 5 , when bullies tease her for still playing with toys and she's given a new tablet named Lilypad.
Lilypad – Greta Lee

If you've seen The Morning Show , the voice of Lilypad will most definitely sound strikingly familiar. That's because Lily is voiced by scene stealer Greta Lee, who played UBA network president Stella Bak from Seasons 2-4.
The role of Lilypad marks uncharted territory for Lee, who also dazzled critics in 2023's Past Lives . "I can't believe any of this!" she told Good Morning America on June 18. "I was twelve when the first one came out, so this whole franchise means so much to me."
As for Lilypad, she's a frog-shaped tablet who wants to help Bonnie make friends and thrive at school. But it's totally different from the way the toys want to help. For example, while Jessie's idea of making new friends is in the literal sense, Lily believes this is done by just adding them on social media. "I love that even though Jessie and Lily are polar opposites, they both fundamentally care about Bonnie," Lee told RottenTomatoes . "That is something that they do have in common, but with very different tactics, obviously."
Blaze – Mykal-Michelle Harris

Mykal-Michelle Harris joins the Toy Story universe as Bonnie's animal-loving BFF Blaze. Blaze bonds with Jessie after Bonnie becomes more interested in her new tablet. "She's one of the coolest 9-year-olds I've ever met," Harris told ABC . "I think it's because she's so brave and she loves animals, and she's always herself."
In real life, Harris is 14 years old, and she's no stranger to Disney—or voice acting. The New Jersey native played Alice in Raven's Home and since 2024, she's starred in the title role on Disney Jr.'s Ariel .
Smarty Pants – Conan O'Brien

He's one of Hollywood's most self-deprecating stars, so it's no surprise that Conan O'Brien had no qualms about playing a potty-training toy named Smarty Pants!
In the film's earliest production stages, Smarty Pants was originally going to be an actual pair of pants. But then, a Pixar intern named Naomi Ureythecame up with the idea to make him a potty-training toy that's shaped like a roll of toilet paper! It's certainly not O'Brien's first foray into animation. He spent two years writing on The Simpsons and guest starred as himself in Season 5.

Most people know him as Darryl on The Office , but Craig Robinsonhas also had a phenomenal career in voice acting. He was Cookie in Shrek Forever After , George in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters and Mr. Shark in The Bad Guys movies .
Now, Robinson enters the Toy Story universe as Atlas, a GPS toy hippo who's long been forgotten in Blaze's tech junk drawer. That is, until new batteries bring the happy-go-lucky hippo back to life. "He's old school tech," Robinson told The Atlanta Voice . "He's gonna get you there, and you can count on him."
Shelby Rabara as Snappy

Steven Universe fans know Shelby Rabaraas Peridot, but in Toy Story 5, she's Snappy—an excitable camera toy. Just like Atlas and Smarty Pants, she's old-school tech and the trio works together to help Jessie on her journey. "Recording Snappy was a dream come true," Rabar said at the red carpet premiere. "She's just this excitable camera and she's always there to help."

Combat Carl – Ernie Hudson

Ghostbusters legend Ernie Hudsonvoices Combat Carl in Toy Story 5 . The action figure was previously voiced by the incredible Carl Weathers, who passed away in February 2024. Both are legends, but what makes this casting choice extra special is that Hudson and Weathers were actually close friends in real life.
But knowing he'd be taking over for his late friend was a complete surprise. "I was very happy to be included but I didn't know I was stepping in for Carl, who was a good friend," he told TMZ . "I think the fact that I didn't know in the beginning was probably for the better."
Matty Matheson as Dr. Nutcase

Fans of The Bear will immediately recognize Dr. Nutcase—he's voiced by Matty Matheson . The Canadian star was originally a chef before he transitioned into acting. So who's Dr. Nutcase? That would be the tiny peanut daredevil in a luchador costume who loathes electronics with every fiber of his being. He's the toy Woody finds strapped to a kite in a tree in the trailer, and his dramatic "We're doomed!" is already a fan favorite moment.
Blaze's Mom – Krys Marshall

While news of For All Mankind and Paradise star Krys Marshall'scasting was revealed months ago, her actual role was unannounced—until now. She voices Mrs. Manoukian, Blaze's sweet and kind mother. "Becoming a part of the Toy Story franchise has been an absolute dream come true," she wrote on Instagram . "And getting to share this special moment with my kid is the cherry on top. Thank you Andrew Stanton, for bringing me on this wild ride. Little Me is somewhere doing a Happy Dance."
Evil Bullsye – Alan Cumming

In the history of Toy Story , we've never heard the voice of Woody's beloved horse, Bullseye. That will change in Toy Story 5 —well, sort of. Alan Cummingvoices Evil Bullseye, described as Bullseye's mischievous alter ego who comes to life in Blaze's imagination. "Don't expect too much, as it is a cameo, but it is quite exciting as this character has never had a voice before," Cumming said of the role.
Mr. Pricklepants – John Hopkins

Global superstar Bad Bunny also has an iconic cameo as Pizza with Sunglasses—an effortlessly cool pizza slice who lives with other forgotten toys in an abandoned backyard shed.

The absolutely legendary Don Ricklesvoiced Mr. Potato Head from the very first film in 1995 up until his passing in 2017. The comic's family loved the character so much that they gave Pixar permission to use existing recordings so he could appear one last time in Toy Story 4 . Meanwhile, the incomparable Estelle Harrisperfectly voiced Mrs. Potato Head until she died in April 2022 at the age of 93.
Toy Story 5 carries their legacy forward with veteran voice actor Jeff Bergmanstepping in as Mr. Potato Head and Anna Vocinotaking on Mrs. Potato Head. "We found two people that sounded very close to the original actors," Director Stanton shared in a Reddit AMA .
"I mean, these two people were legends, and we have big shoes to fill," Vocino told The Porterville Recorder . "I had to do a massive deep-dive and just try to embody everything that's hilarious, and the way that she talks is so iconic, and just such a fabric of who she was."
