One of the world’s biggest entertainment powerhouses has put together a teaser trailer for 2026’s Toy Story 5 by re-using Apple Watch animations from 2017.
The animated Apple Watch faces debuted some two years ahead of the release of 2019’s Toy Story 4. The new animated trailer for the fifth instalment opens with a space alien being winched up by a steel claw, followed by a blue background with the forthcoming film’s logo with Woody, Buzz, and Jessie in the background.
Woody runs up to the foreground to wave hello, Jessie follows with a big wink, and Buzz runs left offstage to reappear in the foreground on the right to give the viewer a salute. These animations used were originally assets by Pixar created for watchOS 4.
