Toy Story 5 hits Disney+ today. Fortnite got it first.
Toy Story 5 streams on Disney+ from September 23. A day earlier, Disney and Pixar launched “The Great Toy Rescue” in Fortnite: a two-week hunt for six lost toys across creator-made islands, running through October 5.
D23’s September 22 announcement lays it out. The home base is Bonnie’s imagination, rendered at toy height, so ordinary furniture becomes terrain. A rift scatters Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Rex, Hamm and Forky across separate islands, and each rescue has its own job: paperclips for Forky, coins for Hamm, horseshoes for Jessie, batteries for Buzz, a necklace repair for Rex, and a two-person crayon run for Woody.
Why it is everywhere: the movie was the summer’s big Pixar release, and the streaming date lands the same week as the Fortnite event, so the group chat gets both at once. D23 calls this the first time a Disney adventure has been connected across multiple creator islands. The event ends October 5 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific; the movie stays on Disney+.
