In celebration of Toy Story 5 and 40 years of Pixar, Disney shared quotes from some of the Toy Story Land Cast Members who bring Pixar’s stories to life every day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Cast Members Talk About Their Pixar Stories

“Since childhood, my favorite Pixar movie has always been Toy Story 2, and my favorite character would have to be Rex,” said Michelle Rodriguez. “Now, as a Cast Member, my favorite things are watching kids see Slinky Dog go around the track for the first time, watching them see the life-size objects grow in size, showing them Andy’s footsteps around the backyard and making magic for them.”

“Getting the opportunity to share the characters with this new generation is so fun,” said Bo Larsen. “Getting to share and almost collaborate that way in the interactions is super rewarding.”

Bailey Smith said, “I’ve been rewatching the Toy Story movies in preparation for Toy Story 5. My favorite Pixar character is Lenny. I grew up with Pixar ever since I saw Monsters, Inc. in theaters when it came out on my second birthday. Now, I’m excited for this movie to be as iconic for my little cousins as Toy Story was for me growing up.”

Walt Disney World Ambassadors Serena Arvizu and Shannon Smith-Conrad added, “Pixar stories have inspired magic across our parks—and in the Cast Members who bring them to life every day.”
