The lobby was a heartbeat as people checked their phones for showtimes. I watched a teen replay the Toy Story 5 trailer until the line moved. You can feel a film closing one chapter in theaters and opening another on your couch—and that change lands next week.
On storefronts this morning, the movie is already moving into new homes
Pixar and Disney are sending Toy Story 5 from multiplexes to your devices on August 18 (digital). If you prefer discs, the 4K Ultra HD Blu‑ray, Blu‑ray, DVD and a limited‑edition 4K SteelBook arrive on September 22. I checked the usual retailers: Apple TV/iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and Google Play will carry the digital release; collectors will want to watch the SteelBook listings at specialty shops and Disney’s store.
When will Toy Story 5 be released on Blu‑ray?
Physical formats come later—September 22 for 4K Ultra HD, regular Blu‑ray, and DVD, plus the limited 4K SteelBook. If you’re planning a shelf display or a reference copy for your home theater rig, that’s the date to mark.
At screenings I heard fans trade favorite scenes and deleted lines
The home copies arrive stacked with extras meant to keep you watching. This release is a cinematic Swiss Army knife: options for replay, extras for the curious, and material that pushes repeat views.

What bonus features are included on the Blu‑ray?
The Blu‑ray and 4K discs include the featurettes, deleted scenes, gag reel, and the commentary track. The two Taylor Swift videos are marked DIGITAL ONLY, so if those matter to you, grab the digital release on August 18 or check whether the physical release later adds them.
In conversations after the credits, Taylor Swift’s song kept coming up
Yes—Taylor Swift wrote and recorded the original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for the film. The song is heavily promoted in the home release: the official music video and the lyric video are streaming extras on digital platforms. That single helped keep the movie in headlines and likely nudged more repeat views.
Is Taylor Swift on Toy Story 5?
She’s present in the soundtrack and in those digital music videos. The cast also includes veterans and newcomers—Andrew Stanton oversees the project; Kenna Harris co‑directs; Conan O’Brien and Greta Lee add fresh voices—so there’s material for fans of animation, casting curiosities, and pop‑music buzz.
If you’re deciding whether to buy digital on August 18 or wait for the physical collector’s editions on September 22, which side are you on?
