Yes, yes, I know, we all more or less agree: there is nothing like the end of Toy Story 3. Pixar should have ended the saga there once and for all, but if they are going to continue it with a fourth installment, why not make Toy Story 5 and focus on the invasion of technology? After all, why would Bonnie continue playing with regular toys when her entire generation already has a tablet? Now we just have to see if Pixar is capable of going beyond and not just sticking to “bad technology, good toys.”

We now have the final trailer for Toy Story 5 in front of us, which finally reveals a little more about the story… and frankly, it seems like a very welcome return to the roots after the crazy deviation it took in the fourth installment. Here, Jessie will take charge of finding the toys, battling the tablet (which, as they have stated, is not the main villain of the movie by any means) and driving Forky along the roads of the United States.
Personally, I wouldn’t have given a euro for this movie, but I have to admit that this is exactly what I would have expected from the previous installment: an update mixed with an adventure of our favorite toys without having to delve into metaphysical issues: if Pixar has managed to correct its course, who knows, we might even see Buzz and Woody retire after so many years.
For now, this final chapter will premiere on June 19 (come on, it’s just around the corner!) and it seems that we will have a snake in our boot for the fifth time. Who would have thought after the tears of the third part, but there we will be, the kids… and those of us who already have gray hair. It’s the magic of Toy Story.
