REVIEW
We were fortunate enough to see Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 well ahead of its theatrical release, and it proved to be a fun-filled return to the toy box. In my ★★★☆☆ review, I wrote: “Overall, Toy Story 5 is another well-executed triumph for Pixar. Although characters like Woody, Buzz, and the rest of Andy’s toys find themselves sidelined in this outing, the emotionally poignant, resonant storyline, breathtaking visuals, and emotionally charged soundtrack more than make up for any disappointment.
While long-term fans of the franchise may leave disappointed by the criminal lack of screen time dedicated to their old friends, new fans will find themselves swept away by the powerful storyline and colorful characters it introduces. The film is the perfect vehicle to bring in new fans and sell another wave of merchandise that will propagate our pop culture landscape for years to come, and that is welcome to see.” Read my full review here.
RELEASE
This is phenomenal news! The fifth adventure for the Toy Story crew was an absolute blast on the big screen, so I cannot wait to experience its brilliance all over again from the comfort of my sofa.
It’s the perfect family movie and a guaranteed way to add a little Pixar magic to those fast-approaching autumn evenings. So, get ready to buckle up and join Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the gang for another wild ride, because Toy Story 5 hits digital TOMORROW!
