Disney has enlisted the talents of Conan O'Brien for a role in the highly anticipated *Toy Story 5*. The beloved redheaded chat show host is set to voice a new and mysterious character named Smarty Pants in the upcoming installment of the iconic franchise.
O'Brien shared the exciting news of his involvement in *Toy Story 5* through a humorous skit on his official TeamCoco Instagram account. In the skit, he playfully suggested he requested to voice either Woody or Buzz Lightyear. Thankfully, fans can rest assured that Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will reprise their legendary roles as the beloved characters.
While no further details about O'Brien's character were revealed, fans are already buzzing with speculation about who Smarty Pants might be. Could this new character be an electronic toy, potentially serving as an antagonist to our favorite toy heroes? Only time will tell.
*Toy Story 5* promises to bring back Woody, Buzz, and the rest of Pixar's cherished cast for another thrilling adventure. This time, the classic toys will navigate a world where children's interests have shifted towards gadgets, gizmos, and cutting-edge technology.
O'Brien's casting marks the first announcement of a new character for *Toy Story 5*, hinting at the significance of his role in the film. As the first major new entry in Pixar's series since *Toy Story 4* in 2019, and following the less successful spin-off *Lightyear* in 2022, Disney is keen on revitalizing the main *Toy Story* brand.
*Toy Story 5* is slated for release on June 19, 2026, and is the first of several upcoming sequels to classic Pixar films, including *Incredibles 3* and *Coco 2*.
