This movie is good but it doesnt seem fresh, it seems like Disney just wanted to make a movie because they knew it would make money.

Toy Story 5 picks up a couple of years after the previous film, It starts with a separate subplot follows a squad of high-tech Buzz Lightyear toys, stuck permanently in demo mode after a shipwreck, as they journey across ocean following the North Star in search of "Star Command."

The we get to the main story, Jessie comfortably settled as Bonnie’s favorite toy and the leader of the playroom.

However, 8-year-old Bonnie is struggling to make friends at school and still relies heavily on playing with her toys for comfort. Hoping to help her socialize, her parents gift her a frog-themed tablet named Lilypad, or "Lily." Unfortunately, Bonnie quickly grows addicted to the device and begins entirely neglecting her toys.

Desperate for guidance, Jessie contacts Woody—who is now living with Bo Peep and helping abandoned toys find new homes—and he returns to help navigate the crisis. 

When Bonnie heads out for a sleepover, Jessie and Bullseye stow away in her bag, but the evening goes disastrously when the other girls mock Bonnie for still playing with toys.

Left behind in a rush of embarrassment, Jessie and Bullseye wind up at the farmhouse that once belonged to Jessie’s original owner, Emily. The house is now home to a young girl named Blaze, who has a deep love for imaginative play.

At the farmhouse, Jessie meets older tech toys like Smarty Pants and realizes that Blaze could be the exact kind of friend Bonnie needs in her life.

Back at home, Lily seizes control and has the other toys put into storage. Woody and Buzz manage to escape, using Lily’s voice-recognition weakness against her to track down Jessie's location. When Bonnie arrives back at the farmhouse, she sees cruel group-chat messages on her phone and, feeling overwhelmed, refuses to retrieve her toys and leaves upset.

Left feeling demoralized, Jessie uncovers buried keepsakes beneath her old play tree.

She finds photos proving that an adult Emily actually named her own daughter after Jessie, bringing her powerful closure and the realization that she always mattered.

Elsewhere, Woody and Buzz encounter the wandering high-tech Buzz units and help them understand what it truly means to be a toy. Realizing the harm she caused,

Lily feels guilty and tries to get herself donated, but the toys—joined by the smart devices and the Buzz army—rally together to rescue her and arrange a proper meeting between Bonnie and Blaze.

Ultimately,

Bonnie and Blaze bond over their shared love of toys and imaginative play.

In a joyful playtime sequence, they "marry" Jessie and Buzz, who finally admit their long-standing feelings for one another.

Woody watches the happy scene before departing once again with Bo Peep, while the high-tech Buzzes find new homes with eager children.

Watching this movie, you definitely get a bit of a been-there-done-that feeling if you’ve seen the first four, but it’s still a genuinely fun and entertaining way to relax for a couple of hours. I really enjoyed it—my absolute favorite character was Forky, and my favorite moment has to be the crude joke about the pig being named Jimmy Dean (even Jessie starts to point out how wrong that is!).

My biggest criticism, though, is the hypocrisy of Disney criticizing kids for being addicted to electronics. It’s hard to take that message seriously when their entire modern business model is built on keeping people hooked on screens, whether it's pushing their streaming services like Hulu and Disney+ or forcing guests to rely on their apps for everything in the parks:

• Reservations and Queues: Booking and tracking Lightning Lane selections or virtual queues require the official Disneyland or My Disney Experience apps.
• 
  
• Food and Dining: Quick-service dining heavily pushes mobile ordering to reduce physical cash register lines and labor overhead.
• 
  
• Park Management: Checking interactive maps, show schedules, and real-time attraction wait times is completely centralized digitally.
• 
  

The tech integration even follows you back to your hotel room. Disney has fully integrated Amazon Echo Show smart displays across its resort hotels, using a custom voice assistant called "Hey Disney!" to extend its tech-driven ecosystem directly into guest rooms. These displays are specifically loaded with interactive character content designed to capture children's attention the moment they step inside:

• The Hook for Kids: The smart displays use a "Disney Magical Companion" voice alongside characters like Mickey Mouse, Olaf, and Dory, featuring voice-activated trivia, interactive storybooks, and theme park soundscapes to keep kids engaged.
• 
  
• The Hardware Push: The in-room system directly integrates with MagicBand+. When kids play the room's trivia games, their wearable park bands light up and vibrate to act as game-show buzzers, reinforcing the urge to buy and wear more Disney hardware.
• 
  

Disney really needs to practice what they preach instead of lecturing families about screen time while actively trying to get kids hooked on their own electronics.
