Just watched the trailer for Toy Story 5, and honestly… I’m in.
It’s kind of wild to think this is the FIFTH time around for this franchise. So many people say they should’ve stopped after Toy Story 3, because that ending felt perfect — and yeah, it really was. But at the same time, this is one of those rare series where every movie has been good. They always manage to find new angles, new emotions, and new ideas.
This time, the biggest and boldest idea seems to be tackling toys vs. “iPad kids,” which is honestly such a smart and very current concept. We’re back in the bedroom with Bonnie, and it looks like Jessie might be at the center of the story, dealing with her past abandonment while facing the possibility of being replaced again — this time by technology. That emotional angle could hit HARD.
The trailer already had some really funny moments too. Seeing Woody with a little bald spot as a joke about how long the franchise has been around was hilarious. And of course, Buzz is still doing classic Buzz things.
Let’s be real — these movies don’t work without Woody and Buzz together, so it’s great to see them reunited after where the last movie left things. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen coming back just makes it feel right.
At this point, Toy Story is basically Pixar’s ultimate tentpole. As long as they keep being this good and people keep showing up, they’re going to keep making them — and honestly, that’s fine with me. There’s never been a bad one.
The trailer made me laugh, the premise feels fresh, and the emotional stakes look strong. I’ll definitely be there opening weekend. Can’t wait to see how they explore toys vs. technology and Jessie’s story in particular.
