Every now and then, a movie casting announcement drops that makes you completely stop scrolling. The kind of news that sounds like a joke, but is actually completely real.
Get ready, because global music sensation Bad Bunny is officially entering the Toy Story universe.
Yes, the nineties nostalgia franchise that practically raised us is coming back for Toy Story 5, and Disney has recruited one of the biggest recording artists on the planet to join the cast.
But he is not playing a sleek new spaceship or a standard action figure. The Grammy winner is making a voice cameo as a brand-new character literally named Pizza with Sunglasses.
According to Disney, the character is “effortlessly cool and mysterious.” He lives in an abandoned backyard shed alongside a small community of other forgotten toys. Honestly, if you are going to introduce an anthropomorphic slice of fast food wearing shades, hiring the man who just dominated the Super Bowl halftime show is a genius move.
It caps off an absolute whirlwind of a year for the musician, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He already took home Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, and now he is adding Pixar to his resume. He is no stranger to acting either, having already popped up in Bullet Train and Happy Gilmore 2.
So, what is the actual story here?
Toy Story 5 is tackling a villain far more terrifying than Sid or Lotso Bear: the iPad. The plot follows Woody, Buzz, and the gang as they go head-to-head with “Lilypad,” a high-tech tablet that has completely brainwashed their kid, Bonnie. It is traditional toys versus screen time.
That is where Bad Bunny’s backyard shed community comes in. They represent the toys that lost the war against technology long ago.
Whether you think a fifth film is necessary or not, adding a secret society of forgotten backyard toys led by an ultra-cool slice of pizza is exactly the kind of chaotic energy this franchise needs.
Toy Story 5 hits theatres on June 19.
