The Toy Story 5 trailer introduces a new character, Lilypad, a high-tech, frog-shaped smart tablet voiced by Greta Lee. Described as both helpful and a little too smart for her own good, Lilypad represents a modern twist on the idea of what makes a toy come to life. According to the filmmakers, the story will explore how classic toys navigate a world filled with ever-evolving technology. Another standout addition to the cast is Conan O’Brien as Smarty Pants, a toilet-training tech toy who brings plenty of comic relief.
