Tog Story 5 director Andrew Stanton has confirmed the sequel includes a direct homage to the Disney classic Bambi.
In one scene, dozens of Buzz Lightyear toys wander through a forest where adoe and rabbit appear, referencing Bambi and Thumper.
The sequence even uses music from Bambi and copies its lighting and visual style.
The sequel will focus on toys dealing with children’s growing dependence on technology, with Woody, Buzz and Jessie facing a new tech toy called Lilypad.
Returning stars include Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack, while Greta Lee voices Lilypad.
Toy Story 5 arrives in cinemas on June 19.
