Toy Story 5 (2026)

For what it's worth, I think if they had a decent idea for a Toy Story sequel after TS4, I don't know if they would've gone the Lightyear route of making spin-off franchises. But maybe that mess was just the Post-Endgame, 2019-era Disney getting a bit too confident that any Superhero film they make with Chris Evans starring will make billions.

Lightyear was all Chapek.

Omg. I'm so in for this. I love Andrew Stanton so much. He's arguably the best director at Pixar so hell yes! I wasn't at all excited before but the fact he's back for this film has sold me.

Finally, a Toy Story film made by a boomer political cartoonist.

Extremely quick and dirty edit

From the image, I was under the impression that Toy Story 5 would be about toys vs. modern tech, which honestly isn't a bad angle. Then, I heard that they announced an army of 500 malfunctioning Buzz lightyears would be the villain, and now I'm confused. Sooo...is this going to be about toys vs modern tech or not? If not, I just lost interest (again).

We don’t know that the army of Buzz are a main villain, possibly just a side villain. I do think the premise of the toys getting forgotten in the digital age has a ton of promise.

Also, is it possible we’re could move on from Bonnie here to potentially Andy’s son/daughter (at least by the end)? It would be a big full circle moment.

I don't know why exactly, but having Ipads and modern tech as a primary plot point in animated movies like this just instantly dates them for me. The other films are grounded in the 90s in a lot of ways, but also feel relatively timeless. I brought it up in the D23 thread, but I think Wreck-It Ralph VS Ralph Breaks the Internet is a solid warning against the direction this one is going in.

I'd love to live in a world where kids having their brains melted into goo by extended screen time becomes dated.
