POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Disney has donated over 18,000 Toy Story toys to children’s hospitals across the UK following the release of the franchise’s fifth film. The initiative aims to bring joy — and comfort to young patients during their hospital stays.

In collaboration with several children’s hospitals, Disney transformed hospital spaces into immersive screening events. Patients and their families were invited to watch the latest Toy Story film in specially decorated areas, complete with themed décor and activities.

A hospital spokesperson stated, “The response from our young patients has been overwhelmingly positive. The Toy Story characters have provided a much-needed distraction — and brought smiles to many faces.”

The donation is part of Disney’s broader charitable efforts to support children’s hospitals. Previous initiatives have included similar toy donations — and hospital visits from popular characters.
