Which festival previewed Toy Story 5's opening scene on June 13, 2025?

The Annecy International Animation Film Festival previewed Toy Story 5’s opening scene on June 13, 2025.

Annecy is one of the world’s leading festivals devoted to animated cinema. Pixar used its 2025 presentation to show early footage from the upcoming sequel, giving festival audiences a look at the film before its theatrical release. The preview was part of Pixar’s broader presentation of upcoming projects at Annecy.

The date matters because the footage was not a general theatrical release or a complete public premiere of the movie. It was a festival preview of the opening scene. The event is sometimes confused with Cannes, Venice, or Toronto, all major international film festivals, but none of those is the festival associated with this specific Toy Story 5 preview. The sequel is directed by Andrew Stanton, co-written with Kenna Harris, and scheduled for U.S. release on June 19, 2026.
