Tyla is reportedly set to make her big-screen debut in the Sub-Saharan version of Toy Story 5.
The South African pop star will voice an inflatable flamingo character in the fifth instalment of the franchise.
Three years earlier, Tyla posted on X, “Disney, hmu when you free,” and it seems that wish has now come true. The A-Pop star will appear in cinemas from 19 June.
“Come and watch with your whole family because your girl Tyla is in the movie as the inflatable flamingo!” she told fans in a video shared on Disney Africa’s Instagram accounts.
Tyla said she was overjoyed when she received the offer to join the Pixar universe, explaining in a YouTube video, “I just couldn't believe the offer was presented to me.
“I just grew up watching Toy Story, it's such a big movie in my family. My parents love it, my whole family loves it. We all love going to the cinema and watching every new one,” she added.
Tyla is not the only music star linked to Woody and Buzz’s world. Taylor Swift recently released I Knew It, I Knew You, a country track created for the film’s soundtrack, while global artist Bad Bunny will also feature in the American voice cast as Pizza with Sunglasses.
Tyla is also preparing to release her upcoming album A*Pop on 24 July, which includes her single She Did It Again featuring Zara Larsson.
On 11 and 12 June, she is scheduled to perform at the opening ceremony for the 2026 World Cup in Inglewood, California.
