Toy Story 5 (PG)

Pixar returns to the franchise that started it all for a fifth go-around. Woody, Buzz, and the toy gang are now competing against every parents nightmare: the electronic tablet!

The story picks up a few years after the last instalment, and things have drastically changed. Aside from the new toys added to the mix, the biggest shocker is how Woody (Tom Hanks) has actually aged. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like much, until everyone’s favourite pull-string cowboy toy removes his hat and reveals he is balding.

The gang are then thrust into the digital age with the introduction of Lilypad (Greta Lee). All the kids are glued to their tablets and screens. Bonnie, now 8 years old, and her friends use their devices to interact with one another via group chats and online games. Lilypad becomes the film’s main antagonist as the toys grapple with her. Are they in danger of facing extinction now that kids don’t spend as much time with their toys?

This is the dilemma our heroes must face in this new adventure. Pixar once again showing they are masters of their craft.
