Tom Hanks returns as Woody in "Toy Story 5," which is set to make its digital debut on JioHotstar tomorrow, September 23. The film, directed by Andrew Stanton with co-direction from Kenna Harris, has already become the highest-grossing entry in the 31-year-old franchise, earning over $1.1 billion worldwide. This latest installment continues Pixar Animation Studios' tradition of blending heartfelt storytelling with top-tier animation, and is produced by Lindsey Collins and Jessica Choi.
JioHotstar announced the streaming release on social media, highlighting that the film will be available in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and English. This move caters to the growing demand for regional language content among Indian audiences, especially families and animation fans. Overseas viewers can catch the film on Disney+ from the same date.
The voice cast features franchise regulars Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack, joined by Conan O’Brien, Scarlett Spears, Greta Lee, Shelby Rabara, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Craig Robinson. The inclusion of new characters and voices has drawn attention from both long-time fans and new viewers. Social media buzz picked up after JioHotstar’s announcement, with many Telugu-speaking fans expressing excitement about watching the film in their language.
Earlier coverage in August highlighted the surge of new OTT releases across platforms, but "Toy Story 5" stands out for its record-breaking box office and broad language availability. With its arrival on JioHotstar, the film is poised to reach an even wider audience in India and beyond.
