Before Toy Story 5 brings Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang back to theaters, ABC is giving viewers a chance to revisit their last big-screen adventure.
‘The Wonderful World of Disney’ to Feature ‘Toy Story 4’
Toy Story 4 will air on ABC as part of the returning The Wonderful World of Disney programming block. The film, the last major installment in the hit Pixar series, is scheduled for Sunday, June 7, from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET.
Toy Story 5 will premiere in theaters roughly two weeks later on June 19. Notably, it will be the first film in the main Toy Story series to receive a PG rating.
The previous film, Toy Story 4, released in 2019 and followed Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Bonnie’s toys on a road trip that introduced Forky, a handmade spork-turned-toy struggling to understand his new role. Forky’s antics lead Woody into an unexpected journey featuring new characters and the return of Bo Peep.
ABC will bring back The Wonderful World of Disney for select Sunday night movie presentations this summer. Other Disney films airing as part of this programming block will include Moana, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Princess Diaries, and The Parent Trap.
Of course, fans who do not want to wait for the ABC broadcast can also stream Toy Story 4 anytime on Disney+. You can also read our full film review from back in 2019.
