Mexican singer Belinda joins "Toy Story 5" Spanish voice cast

Mexican singer Belinda is lending her voice to the antagonist character Lilypad in the upcoming Spanish-language version of Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story 5." The announcement was made by Belinda herself via a video shared on social media from the Pixar studios in San Francisco.

Belinda revealed her excitement about voicing Lilypad, described as an electronic tablet. This character plays a crucial role in the film's narrative, exploring the theme of how electronic devices increasingly capture children's attention, potentially diminishing the importance of traditional toys that have long been central to the "Toy Story" saga.

The "Toy Story" franchise, which began in 1995 as the first fully computer-animated feature film, has seen significant success. "Toy Story 3" and "Toy Story 4" each grossed over a billion dollars worldwide.

Belinda joins an impressive international cast for the Spanish-language dub. This includes Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny, who voices Pizza Planet's "Pizza with Sunglasses" character in both the original and Spanish versions, and Argentine producer Bizarrap, who will voice "Garden Gnome." Spanish actress Penélope Cruz will also voice a new character named "Flamenco."

The film is directed by Andrew Stanton, a two-time Oscar winner for "Finding Nemo" and "Finding Dory," with co-direction by McKenna Harris. Randy Newman, an Oscar-winning composer, returns to handle the film's score.
