Pixar Brings Back the Legendary Franchise

Since the release of the original Toy Story in 1995, the franchise has become a global phenomenon. Created by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures, the films revolutionized animation and storytelling.

The fourth movie, released in 2019, appeared to conclude Woody’s journey in an emotional way as he chose a new path away from Bonnie and the rest of the toys. However, Pixar surprised fans by announcing Toy Story 5 , proving that there are still more stories left to tell.


The upcoming movie is expected to reunite fan-favorite characters including Woody, Buzz Lightyear , Jessie, Rex, Hamm and Slinky Dog. Reports also suggest that original voice actors such as Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are returning to voice Woody and Buzz once again.

What Could the Story Be About?

The fifth instalment of the animated franchise sees Woody, Buzz and Jessie threatened by a new frog-like tablet known as Lilypad , which captivates the film's children.


Hanks said the cast related to the storyline because they had all "met that disinterest" of young people who "look down at their phone, look up, look down, look up".

"This is a generational thing," he said, "where one generation has this thing that defines them technologically in society, and they pour everything into it."

The actor highlighted "a moment in the movie where we look out on the cityscape and we see that blue glow of a phone in bedrooms and whatnot, and it does strike terror into the heart".

It's a battleground that parents everywhere will recognise, and the film comes at a time of wider debate about the potential harms of too much screen time , particularly social media.


Toy Story 5, releasing later this month, sees Hanks, Tim Allen and Joan Cusack return to their roles voicing Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, while Past Lives star Greta Lee joins the cast to voice Lilypad.
