Tyla Is Joining the Toy Story 5 Voice Cast
Disney says Tyla will voice Inflatable Flamingo in the Sub-Saharan African release, marking her first Disney voice role in the franchise.
- Grammy Award-winner Tyla joined the voice cast of Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 5 as the character 'Inflatable Flamingo,' exclusively for the Sub-Saharan African theatrical release opening June 19, 2026.
- The film pits the analogue toy gang against electronic devices as Bonnie, now eight years old, becomes fascinated with a smart kiddie tablet called 'Lilypad,' a conflict Academy Award-winner Andrew Stanton described as 'toy meets tech.'
- Tyla described the opportunity as a 'full-circle moment,' joining a returning cast including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Joan Cusack as Jessie.
- Disney utilizes region-specific cameo casting, with the UK version featuring broadcaster Siân Welby in the same 'Inflatable Flamingo' role and radio presenter Jordan North voicing a Garden Gnome.
- Following her recent feature on FIFA's official World Cup 2026 album, this debut marks another milestone for Tyla, cementing her influence as one of Africa's biggest music exports.
