Toy Story 5 merch is everywhere as Disney and Mattel renew vows. Toy Story 5 lands in theaters on June 19, and Disney is making sure you cannot miss it. After the film's Los Angeles world premiere on June 9, the studio rolled out what it calls the biggest and most varied Toy Story product lineup ever, timed to the franchise's 30th anniversary. A licensing deal 30 years in the making. The headline business news: Disney and Mattel have renewed their longstanding global licensing agreement, timed to the film's release and three decades of Woody and Buzz. That partnership stretches back to the original 1995 film, making it one of the most durable licensing relationships in the toy business. What's on Shelves. Mattel's Playscale Interactables lead the wave, with Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Forky and new character Lilypad figures that chat individually and even recognize and talk to each other. LEGO has announced new builder sets, Funko has seven Pop! figures for collectors, and LeapFrog's Lilypad learning toys are already at Walmart. Beyond the toy aisle. The rollout goes well past toys. AT&T has turned retail stores into "Bonnie's Room," an immersive in-store experience running June 8 through July 9. Luggage brand Away rolled out kid-friendly Toy Story suitcases on June 9, and Disney Parks and the Disney Store have their own dedicated collections. For one summer at least, the toys really are everywhere. Kyra's take. Toy Story is older than me by a lot, and it is still the franchise every toy brand wants. What I love about the Interactables is that the toys talking to each other is basically the plot of the movies coming true. Ten-year-old me would have saved up for months for these. Honestly, fifteen-year-old me might too. The 30th anniversary timing is smart, because parents who watched the first movie as kids are now buying tickets and toys for their own kids.

OpenAire to build Retractable Roof buildings for Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks. OpenAire has been selected as the structural partner for the Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks(TM)- a landmark series of branded aquatic destinations being developed in partnership with American Resort Management and Martin Aquatic. Each park will be housed inside a custom-engineered, all-aluminum retractable roof enclosure designed, fabricated, and installed by OpenAire. What OpenAire Is Building Each enclosure spans 185 feet in width and runs approximately 375 to 400 feet in length, with 35-foot glass sidewalls and vertical glass ends. The motorized retractable roof panels open to bring in natural light and fresh air - transforming what would otherwise be a conventional indoor waterpark into an open-air experience on demand. The structures are engineered from painted, corrosion-free aluminum, purpose-built to perform in the specific climate conditions of each park's location - whether that means heavy snow loads, tropical rain, or hurricane-force winds. Energy Efficiency and Operational Savings OpenAire's motorized roof and operable window systems are engineered to deliver an estimated 15% in annual energy savings compared to conventional indoor waterpark buildings. For operators, that translates directly to lower overhead and a more sustainable facility over the long term. Why Retractable Roof Structures Are the Right Fit for Waterparks Indoor waterparks present one of the most challenging environments for any building system - high humidity, constant chemical exposure, and demanding year-round operational schedules. OpenAire's all-aluminum construction is maintenance-free and specifically engineered to withstand these conditions without the corrosion issues that affect steel-framed alternatives. What the Partners Are Saying Richard Coleman, CEO of American Resort Management, noted that "placing these parks inside energy-efficient, retractable roof aluminum buildings allows them to operate more cost-effectively than traditional indoor waterparks." Having worked with OpenAire on previous projects, Coleman said the structures "meet and exceed all expectations" - and that this project will set a new global standard for branded waterpark destinations. Mark Albertine, CEO of OpenAire, pointed to the broader significance of the project: "engineering structures that handle the harsh chemical realities of a waterpark environment while simultaneously reducing energy costs makes the indoor waterpark model economically viable for municipalities across the country." About This Project The Mattel Wonder Indoor Waterparks will integrate iconic Mattel brands - including Barbie(R) and Hot Wheels(R)- across a full range of aquatic attractions: lazy rivers, wave pools, and waterslides. OpenAire's role spans the complete building process: design, engineering, fabrication, and installation, with every structure backed by a minimum five-year warranty. About American Resort Management Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, American Resort Management, LLC (ARM) is a leading destination resort management and development company with extensive experience in lodging and resort operations, specializing in indoor/outdoor waterpark resorts, family entertainment centers, and destination resorts. ARM is committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences and is dedicated to innovation and excellence in the industry. About OpenAire Founded in 1989, OpenAire is a single-source provider of aluminum retractable roof enclosures and skylight systems, with nearly 1,300 structures delivered across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. OpenAire's enclosures serve restaurants, shopping centers, cruise ships, health clubs, and aquatic facilities - and can contribute toward LEED(R) certification.
