The press has already seen Toy Story 5. And it seems that the movie is fantastic. With a consensus regarding it, the opinions about the film are extremely favorable, talking about it as the best movie in the franchise in 20 years. And also the best that Pixar has done in two decades. Increasing even more the interest in one of the most anticipated movies of the year.
Film critic Scott Menzel on Xhas stated about the movie that “it stands alongside the first three films, offering a perfect blend of humor, heart, and that unique Pixar magic”. The host of The Movie Podcast, also on X, has said about the movie that it is a “generationally defining experience,” being “the story we need right now.”
Toy Story 5 promises to be one of the highest-grossing films of the year
This is something that Collider’s editor, Meredith Loftus, has emphasized by stating that the film “explores the divide between technology and toys through Jessie resulting in a tremendously emotional and deep story that made me break down in tears”. Something that, in fact, is not exactly a surprise. Because director Andrew Stanton has previously stated that the idea behind this film was to play with the existing tension between technology and toys in today’s childhood.
With a premiere scheduled for June 19, Toy Story 5 promises to be one of the highest-grossing and critically acclaimed films of the year. Therefore, it is important to keep the focus on this movie that, it seems, will live up to the original trilogy.

Ravernsburger has released the twelfth expansion of Lorcana, named Wilds Unknown. This expansion has a particular feature that will delight Disney fans who may have noticed a notable absence in the game until now, which is addressed in this particular collection: the inclusion of Pixar characters.
Each expansion focuses on one or more Disney movies, and this time the chosen ones are three beloved classics by both children and adults: Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles. This time, players, along with the toys, superheroes, and Merida and her family, will have to explore the uncharted regions of the kingdom of Lorcana to uncover ancient secrets that have yet to be discovered. And that could hide much more than it seems.
Toy Story 5 arrives in theaters and to Lorcana
The reason for including Pixar movies for the first time after almost three years in the market does not seem coincidental. Not when Toy Story 5 will premiere on June 17 in theaters. Therefore, this is a move that Disney hopes will also promote both the movie and the game in a brilliant cross-marketing strategy.
In fact, it is something that the company itself has wanted to emphasize as its intention. Elaine Chase, head of the card games category at Ravensburger, stated that “we all have fond memories of growing up with Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of the toys (…), now fans can have fun collecting those cards and creating decks to play with their families and friends”. Making it clear that it is an intentional move by the company.
Similarly, the expansion includes everything one would expect from a Lorcana collection. Composed of 200 cards and with various types of products, they have included starter sets for those who want to start playing with the two most attractive characters from the collection: Buzz Lightyear and Mrs. Incredible. Something that, combined with a new visual style, the Lore Nouveau (inspired by art nouveau), provides many reasons to dive into Lorcana.
Wilds Unknown was released on May 15, but it is expected to continue having a strong impact on card games in the weeks and months to come. Especially now, with the shadow of Toy Story 5 already around the corner.
The Disney Lorcana TCG Companion app is a tool designed for fans of the Disney Lorcana card game. This free app, available on Android, allows users to efficiently manage their card collection and offers various features that enhance the gaming experience. Its features include a visual card catalog, a collection tracker, and guides on how to play, all designed to facilitate access to information and optimize card organization.

Six years after the release of Toy Story 4, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the rest of the iconic cast of Pixar’s longest-running franchise are back in Toy Story 5, which will be released in theaters on June 18. This new chapter promises to once again explore the meaning of childhood and the role that toys play in an increasingly screen-dominated world. A new trailer has been unveiled, hinting at the fundamental question that many are asking: what is the true function of a toy today?
To infinity… Or at least to the fifth part
Since its debut in 1995, Toy Story has been a cornerstone in the history of animated cinema, known for its ability to tackle significant themes about childhood, friendship, and the passage of time. The return of these beloved characters, who have resonated with several generations, generates considerable anticipation among the millions of fans.
The trailer suggests that the narrative of Toy Story could confront the challenge of the relevance of toys in an era where children spend more time in front of screens than playing with physical objects.The evolution of childhood, driven by digitalization, provides an interesting backdrop on which the story will be woven. Woody’s voice, still voiced by Tom Hanks, and other cast members promise to bring new layers of emotion and humor to the sequel.
The arrival of this new installment promises to rekindle the love for toys in a contemporary context driven by technology, but, of course, alongside the characters that have marked a generation. Will we cry as much as we did with its third part?

Toy Story 4 was received with mostly positive reviews, suggesting that, at least in certain aspects, the franchise still has much to offer. With Toy Story 5 on the way, Stanton is determined to uphold the franchise’s legacy, ensuring that each new story is designed to resonate with a new generation of viewers.
Although detractors have expressed their fears about the future of the franchise, Stanton seems convinced that the story of Woody and his friends still has many adventures to tell. With the promise of innovation and emotional storytelling, Toy Story fans can expect more surprises in the upcoming installment.

In a recent episode of the podcast Club Random, Tarantino expressed his admiration for Toy Story 3, considering it one of the best films he has seen, highlighting the emotional depth it brings to the conclusion of Woody and Buzz’s story.
For once, Tarantino has the same taste as you
The Toy Story saga, which began in 1995, has been acclaimed not only by audiences but also by critics, achieving an impressive 100% on Rotten Tomatoes for the first film. The following installments, Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, continued this streak of success, with the third surpassing $1 billion at the box office, becoming a milestone in the history of animated cinema.
Despite its box office success, Toy Story 4 was not received with the same praise by everyone, according to Tarantino’s view. This latest film also managed to surpass the $1 billion mark, but its critical reception was more divided, leading many, including Tarantino, to question the need for a continuation after such a powerful conclusion as that of the third installment.
In a surprising turn for Pixar fans, the company has confirmed that Toy Story 5 is in development and is scheduled for release on June 19, 2026. With the legacy of the original trilogy in mind, fans are eager to see if this new installment can live up to expectations or perhaps continue the debate about the perfection of the saga that will delight both movie and animation lovers alike. Meanwhile, it seems that Tarantino has no intention of joining the frenzy of the upcoming sequel.
