'Toy Story 5' world premiere: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen talk new Pixar film on red carpet
LOS ANGELES -- The toys are back together again for "Toy Story 5." This time out, it's toys versus technology.
In the film, we meet Lilypad, a device the growing Bonnie feels she needs so she can fit in with her classmates. But if she goes all-in for tech, what will happen to all the toys?

At the film's premiere, Tom Hanks, who's played Woody from the beginning, was surprised director Andrew Stanton wasn't done yet.
"But then he had this aspect of, 'We gotta take care of Bonnie,'" said Hanks. "And Jessie notices that Bonnie's not happy because she's not playing with her toys anymore. And that's a powerful message. So let's go!"
Also returning - Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack as leading lady Jessie.
"And that's kind of really cool," Cusack said. "I never thought I'd be the leading lady and it's such a great movie."
Allen added, "I thought it took courage and insight to make fun of a company, Pixar and Disney, to do what we're making fun of."
Taylor Swift, who has a song in the movie, appeared at the premiere.
And no one was as happy as Conan O'Brien, who voices a potty training toy named Smarty Pants.
"I need this because my daughter will talk to me again," O'Brien joked.
The film also brings back other toys we know and love, like Forky, who's voiced by Tony Hale.
"When you see this group, they're rooting for each other," he said. "They got each other's back. They're there for each other. It's community. That's what we all want."
Jeff Bergman wore his character, Mr. Potato Head, inside his sport coat. Kristen Schaal's dinosaur character, Trixie, was painted on her dress. And Scarlett Spears, the voice of Bonnie, came in a custom "Toy Story" look.
This also marks the first time a "Toy Story" movie isn't rated "G." This one is "PG."
You can see "Toy Story 5" in theaters beginning June 19.
Disney is the parent company of Pixar and this station.
