Toy Story 5

Teaser



Details from D23 about the plot

It deals with Bonnie becoming addicted to I-pads among other electronic devices and neglecting her toys. The toys eventually face down an army of over 50 rogue Buzz Lightyears powered by Artificial Intelligence.

That teaser looks like a DVD menu. And the movie's premise... I think it might have been best to avoid the issue of AI, considering that it just creates problem with the general premise of Toy Story.

Toy Story should have only been the first 3 movies that's it.

Disney at this point is going to rely on nostalgia to make money. Nothing but sequels from here on out.

Five movies spread over the span of 31 years. As if the main target group of the original movie back in November 1995 were still children...

Taylor Swift has written a song for the film, "I Knew It, I Knew You."

I showed the first one to my four-year-old the first one yesterday and she's asking to watch the others now.

It's a multigenerational franchise. We've got plans to Toy Story 2 this coming Thursday.

I was only 10 when the first movie came out, lol. My generation was the original target audience of Toy Story.

Seeing how close Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are here despite their differing political views really makes me wish that Jodie Sweetin of Full House can learn from the two of them, especially from Hanks.

Brother and nephew both cried at Toy Story 5, I imagine they weren't the only ones, but it hit different for them both due to their own recent circumstances (I talked a bit about this previously in vent)

Spoiler:
Buzz and Jessie are married off in the end by Bonnie, who makes a new best friend called Blaze. Jessie also discovers her original owner named her daughter after her when she grew up. Woody goes back to his life with Bo Peep and doesn't have an excuse to stay, so it's nice everyone is moving onward and staying in certain roles as well as beginning new ones. Lily turns out to be very remorseful about her actions in the film and has something of a redemption, and there's a hopeful message that toys and tech can peacefully co-exist

I really don't think it needed to exist, but I enjoyed it because it was a nice change to have Jessie as the protagonist. Plus, we also got to learn more about her original owner Emily.
Spoiler:
Even though Emily gave her away, Jessie still had a very postive impact on her life because she named her daughter after her. I also liked seeing Bonnie make a new friend.


ETA: What's strange, however, is that:

Spoiler:
It's never revealed how Woody gave Jessie that walkie talkie to communicate with her after he left.

It's strange, I know I've seen Toy Story 1 and possibly 2... and while I have a vague memory of watching 3, I'm not sure I ever have watched it. One of these days I'll have a nice time marathoning these pretty fresh-minded.

We saw this yesterday. I had no intention of seeing this, but the wife picked this time. It was incredible. Super emotional.

There was a lot of hype about Toy Story 3 being a real tear jerker, but it didn’t get me. But this one choked me up several times.

It’s been forever since I’ve watched any of these and I completely missed 4 and have zero concept of the plot, so don’t let that hold you back if you’re not caught up.

I think this was likely due to how much money Elio lost at the box office last year. Disney & Pixar clearly shouldn't have released that film one week after the live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake or when the live-action Lilo & Stitch was doing well.
