The latest installment in the Toy Story franchise, Toy Story 5, is now in theaters. The film follows Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the beloved Pixar gang as they face their biggest adversary yet: technology.
The Rise of Tech
In a world where children are increasingly glued to their devices, the toys must navigate a new reality. Eight-year-old Bonnie, one of the only kids in the neighborhood who still plays with toys, is gifted a kid-friendly tablet, Lilypad, which threatens to replace her beloved toys.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprise their roles as Woody and Buzz, but it’s Joan Cusack’s Jessie who takes center stage in the battle against Lilypad. The film explores the timely premise of technology’s impact on children’s lives, and the nuances of this issue are thoughtfully presented.
The film features a talented voice cast, including Greta Lee as Lilypad, and introduces new characters like Smarty Pants, voiced by Conan O’Brien. The movie is rated PG for some thematic elements and rude humor, and has a running time of 1 hour and 42 minutes.
