Did Disney make a Mickey Mouse move by using old Apple Watch animations for the Toy Story 5 commercial?

The video teaser for Toy Story 5 begins with one of those three-eyed green aliens with a football head being hoisted up by a sort of claw, like the ones you find in claw machines used by kids trying to win a prize. Like the logo for the fifth installment in the series, each of the three characters takes a turn, with the animation perfectly mirroring the face of the 2017 Apple Watch.

Woody runs to the screen and waves with his “Aw, crap” personality to everyone watching the clip. Jessie comes to the screen and winks at everyone. Buzz runs to the left and leaves the stage, suddenly appearing in the foreground right and greeting the audience.

McDonald, the owner of SunApps, says that an Apple intern working on the Apple Maps app was the one who originally discovered the origin of the animation used in the teaser. Some accused Pixar and Disney of laziness or a lack of imagination that forced them to reuse the 2017 animation. The truth might be far less offensive to Pixar and Disney. It seems that there may not be enough footage of the new film available yet to use for a trailer. Toy Story 5 will be in a cinema near you from June 19, 2026.
As many of you know, Pixar is very closely linked to Apple through the late Steve Jobs. The Apple co-founder paid $5 million to George Lucas of Star Wars fame, invested $5 million in the company, and was named chairman of Pixar. This happened after Jobs was kicked out of Apple by his hand-picked CEO John Scully and founded NeXT. In March 1991, Jobs became the sole owner of Pixar, and a few months later, Disney signed a three-film deal with Pixar. The first of the films produced under the deal was the original film Toy history Film that became a blockbuster.
Less than a year ago Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, he sold Pixar to Disney. The date was January 24, 2006, and Disney paid $7.4 billion for the company, all in Disney stock. As a result, Steve Jobs became Disney's largest shareholder for a while. And this has led to almost annual speculation about a merger between Apple and Disney.
