Toy Story 5

There was really no need for a fifth one, let’s be honest. Then again, Pixar managed to produce a heartfelt, entertaining and actually engaging installment for the franchise. Jessie becomes the lead for this one and her character is very well explored and developed, even when her whole arc is basically a redo of Toy Story 2. The rest of the toys though… are really pushed sideways and we don’t get to connect with them at all (except for the new ones). We get a nice story with Bonnie, that’s pretty cool. And I can see kids connecting, laughing and replaying with this film without getting annoying Soundtrack is nice, animation is nice but the whole film just feels like a nostalgia bait, making it feel all around completely unnecesary. Don’t get me wrong, I love Toy Story. But for me it isn’t much better than TS4 nor does it get to the emotional impact that TS3 gave. Pixar, if you’re not letting this franchise die, at least keep caring for it like you just did.
