The reviews

🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 94% 🎯 Metacritic: 73/100 🎟️ CinemaScore: A

"Proving that old toys can learn new tricks while reckoning with an era of endless screen time, Toy Story 5 largely sidesteps franchise fatigue." (RT Critics Consensus)

Polygon called it a return to Pixar's golden age. IndieWire gave it a B+ but said the central plot felt "undercooked."

What the movie is actually about

Bonnie gets a tablet. Her name is Lily. She's voiced by Greta Lee. Bonnie gets addicted to it. The toys feel abandoned. Then Jessie calls Woody. Story starts from there.

Director Andrew Stanton described the film as "a realisation of an existential problem: that nobody's really playing with toys anymore."

The irony some critics can't shake: a movie about screen addiction ends with the tablet bringing everyone together. It raises the question, then sidesteps it.
