Disney has enlisted Conan O'Brien for a role in Toy Story 5.

The former talk show host will lend his voice to a cryptic new character, Smarty Pants, in the forthcoming film.

O'Brien shared news of his casting in Toy Story 5 through a humorous skit on his official TeamCoco Instagram account, playfully hinting he pitched himself for Woody or Buzz Lightyear’s roles. (Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are confirmed to return as the iconic characters.)

Details about O'Brien's character remain scarce, sparking curiosity among fans about Smarty Pants’ true identity.

Toy Story 5 brings back Woody, Buzz, and Pixar’s cherished ensemble for a new journey, where classic toys confront a world captivated by gadgets and technology.

Is Smarty Pants a high-tech toy, possibly a foe for our beloved heroes? Only time will reveal the truth.

O'Brien’s casting marks the first reveal of a new character for Toy Story 5, hinting at a significant role.

Toy Story 5 is the first major addition to Pixar’s franchise since Toy Story 4 in 2019. The 2022 spin-off, Lightyear, which explored the origins of Buzz Lightyear, fell short of expectations.

Disney aims to revitalize the core Toy Story series, despite the challenge of living up to the original trilogy’s acclaim.

Toy Story 5 is slated for release on June 19, 2026, kicking off a slate of new Pixar sequels, including Incredibles 3 and Coco 2, in the coming years.
