The enduringly popular Pixar franchise has released its fifth installment, featuring a now-balding Woody voiced by Tom Hanks. This chapter sees Jessie, the pull-string cowgirl voiced by Joan Cusack, taking the lead. Woody is on a quest to find abandoned toys, while Jessie focuses on ensuring her owner, Bonnie, finds a companion for imaginative play.
Bonnie's world shifts when her parents introduce Lilypad, a talking frog-shaped tablet. The device instantly captivates Bonnie, leading her to prioritize screen time over traditional playtime. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Forky, and Karen Beverly return to support Jessie in this new challenge.
New characters like Evil Bullseye and a GPS toy hippo named Atlas join the adventure. The film, co-written and directed by Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris, delivers a relevant message about disconnecting from devices to rediscover the importance of play.
