Penélope Cruz to cameo in 'Toy Story 5' voicing a forgotten toy

Spanish actress Penélope Cruz is joining the voice cast for the Spanish version of Disney and Pixar's 'Toy Story 5,' lending her voice to a new character named Flamenco.

Cruz will portray a forgotten toy, part of a community living in an abandoned garden house. She shared her excitement in a promotional video, stating, "I've really enjoyed recording it and I hope you enjoy it too when you see it." Other notable additions to the Spanish voice cast include Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny as Pizza con Gafas de Sol (Pizza with Sunglasses) and Argentine producer Bizarrap as Gnomo de Jardín (Garden Gnome).

The film is set to premiere in theaters on June 17. It is directed by two-time Oscar winner Andrew Stanton, known for 'Finding Nemo' and 'Finding Dory,' with Kenna Harris co-directing. The soundtrack will once again feature music by Oscar winner Randy Newman.

The new installment sees the beloved characters, including Buzz Lightyear and Woody, facing a challenge from 'Lilypad,' a frog-shaped electronic tablet. This new gadget threatens to overshadow traditional toys and capture the full attention of Bonnie, the current owner of the 'Toy Story' gang. The franchise, which began in 1995 as the first computer-animated feature film, has seen successful sequels in 1999, 2010, and 2019, with the latter two films grossing over $1 billion worldwide.
