Summary
A new image fromToy Story 5has been revealed at Disney’sD23event, showcasing the return of Buzz Lightyear and Woody as a new chapter in the animated series begins. TheupcomingToy Story 5is expected to continue the story following the end ofToy Story 4, bringing familiar characters together for yet another adventure. Despite the seemingly definitive ending of the previous film, it appears there’s still plenty for the characters to do in a new storyline reuniting some old friends.
Now,Pixarhas released a new image fromToy Story 5, teasing Buzz and Woody’s return in the upcoming animated sequel. Check it out below:
The image shows what appears to beBonnie playing on a tablet while under her covers, familiar toys like Woody, Buzz, Jesse, and Forky looking on in dejection.The new image hints at what the narrative for the new movie is going to be, as the toys' newest owner becomes infatuated with new technology.
How Toy Story 5’s New Image Sets Up The Whole Film’s Conflict
The ending of the previous movie saw Woody join Bo Peep, leaving his new owner and his friends behind because of his love for her. While it’s good to see the returnee back with othercharacters fromToy Story 4reunited following the end of the previous movie, the new image indicatesBonnie is going to be neglecting her toys in favor of new technology. While it also begs the question as to how everyone ends up back together again, the primary conflict appears to be traditional toys versus new, digital ones.
Although no story details have been revealed directly, the image indicates not much time has passed between the previous movie and this newest installment. Bonnie is likely a little older now that she’s using the Internet on her own, but not old enough to where she would be neglecting her toys outright. Because of this development in her life, it seems the movie will be tackling the ways in which toys have been phased out of many modern childhoods in favor of newer technology, such as online games.
Toy Story 5 Will Break A 9-Year-Old Pixar Record When It’s Released
Toy Story has had a long-running rivalry with another Pixar franchise, and the upcoming movie may finally end the contest once and for all.
SinceToy Story 5is also going to feature an army of Buzz Lightyears stuck in Toy Mode, reminiscent of the second installment, there seems to be more going on than just the competition between toys and technology. Perhaps whatever ties both ideas together will resonate with audiences young and old, who could become wrapped up in a more complex narrative for the series. With more details to come before the film gets released, it seems like there will be a lot of ground for the newest movie in the franchise to cover.
