More Latin talent is being announced as part of the Spanish-language version of Toy Story 5, with Belinda being the latest star to join.
Disney and Pixar revealed on Monday (June 8) that the Mexican pop singer will voice new character Lilypad in the Spanish-language dub for Latin America. According to the press release, Lilypad is a modern toy, an interactive tablet in the shape of a frog that gains the trust of Bonnie’s toys. However, not everyone is happy about her arrival.
Belinda also shared the news with her followers on social media Monday, posting a carousel of photos of her experience working with the Pixar team, as well as with some of the actors. In one image, she appears alongside Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, who are back to voice Woody and Buzz Lightyear, respectively, in the English version. In another, she poses with the iconic characters while holding what appears to be Lilypad.
“I’ve been dying to share this surprise with you!! I will be the voice of Lilypad in Toy Story 5,” Belinda captioned in the Instagram post. “I’ve always felt a very special connection with voice acting, and being able to do it alongside such talented people is a dream come true!! Plus, it’s one of my favorite movies. Here are some magical moments from my time at the Pixar studios.”
The news of Belinda’s participation in the fifth installment of the animated film series comes just days after it was revealed that Argentine producer Bizarrap will voice the character Santa de Jardín (Garden Gnome Santa) in Spanish, while Bad Bunny will play Pizza With Sunglasses in both English and Spanish.
Toy Story 5 arrives in U.S. theaters Friday, June 19. The film opens June 17 in Brazil and Spain, and June 18 in Latin America.
