What animal is Atlas designed as in Toy Story 5?

Atlas is designed as a hippo in Toy Story 5.

Atlas is a cheerful GPS-themed toy shaped like a hippopotamus. His design combines a friendly animal form with navigation technology, making him one of the film’s deliberately outdated electronic toys. Craig Robinson provides Atlas’s voice.

The character belongs to a group of forgotten devices discovered in Blaze’s home. Unlike Bonnie’s traditional toys, Atlas represents an earlier generation of battery-powered technology: he can guide the others, but he has spent years neglected in a junk drawer and needs fresh batteries before working again.

Atlas is sometimes described simply as a GPS toy or a talking map device, which can obscure his animal identity. The animal shape is specifically a hippo, not an elephant, rhino, or bear. His presence also reinforces Toy Story 5’s central contrast between imaginative playthings and newer screen-based technology.
