‘Toy Story 5’ can help parents trying to manage their kids’ relationship with tech
On the dusty backroads of Radiator Springs, where Lightning McQueen and his pals live, a shower of meteors threatened to bring destruction upon the quarter-size cars in a scene that disaster movie king Roland Emmerich would endorse. Thankfully, Buzz Lightyear was on his way to save the day, driving Chaseâs car from âPaw Patrol.â
As my toddler son and I played out his scenario with his toys, I was struck by a pang of guilt I didnât see coming.
Heâs just a toddler, and weâve watched all of these cartoons together. Thatâs a lot of screen time.
Toy Story 5 review – Pixar franchise needs new batteries
A sinister new tablet threatens the honest-to-goodness toysâ existence, but Buzz, Woody and Jessieâs big tech moral battle feels compromised
The fifth episode of the Toy Story franchise is as slick and smooth as you like, as glitchless as Toy Story 6 or Toy Story 7 might be ⦠or will be. As a piece of family-entertainment content it has the unblemished sheen of a brand new smartphone. But at heart, it has gone dead. For all the intensive, high-energy creative work that has clearly gone into this filmâs every frame, the jeopardy, the novelty, the ideas and the passion are lacking; the crucial Toy Story theme of mortality feels underpowered, and the film even calamitously loses its nerve with its own big idea â those squeamish about spoilers had better look away now â the sinister way addictive tech devices are undermining the imaginative play that kids once had with honest-to-goodness toys.

Thirty-one years and four sequels since Buzz and Woody first slugged it out, the Toy Story series is feeling its age. If time worked in the Toy Story universe the way it works in the real world, 6-year-old Andy could have children of his own now, and might even be in the midst of the kind of existential crisis the movies have inspired, at least in adults, since the very beginning. Toy Story 5 is set only a handful of years after the previous installment; 8-year-old Bonnie, who inherited a college-bound Andy’s toys at the end of the third movie, is only a little way into grade school. But for the toys, it seems as if much more time has passed. The boundlessly energetic cowboy Woody (voiced, as always, by Tom Hanks) is getting a bald spot at the crown of his pre-molded head (although, as a fellow toy helpfully suggests, it’s nothing a quick stroke of a Sharpie can’t fix), and brawny Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) is feeling the urge to settle down with spunky cowgirl Jessie (Joan Cusack). The toys have been threatened with aging out before—the first movie, in fact, hinges on Woody’s anxiety about being replaced by the newer, flashier Buzz—but in this newest movie, they just feel old.
