Bryan Cranston as Walter White and Tom Hanks as Woody in Breaking Bad and Toy Story custom image
Toy Story crosses over with Breaking Bad in a new concept trailer that showcases just how interesting a darker tone would be for the beloved Pixar animated franchise. As the wait for the upcoming Toy Story 5 continues, the franchise has remained in relative limbo until it is expected to be released on June 19, 2026. The Breaking Bad franchise has also been left waiting for a new follow-up after Better Call Saul ended in 2022.
Buzz appears largely unchanged, though he has been combined with Jesse Pinkman, giving him a more chaotic personality. Every image and clip in the trailer features a different design for the character, but the narration helps to ensure that he is easily recognizable as the drama's protagonist. Considering that Woody does have a controlling personality, as White does, it makes sense that he could play a similar role in a crossover.
Despite their success, the reason for that lack of a crossover is the completely disparate audiences. Toy Story is a family-friendly franchise that focuses on moral lessons about friendship and letting go. Walter White's story, however, is the dark tragedy of a high school teacher who gives in to his worst urges and becomes an abject monster. A six-year-old walking into a movie theater to see Woody White would be traumatized by the sight.
