A touching image capturing a young boy's farewell to his toys on his first day of school has resulted in a magical opportunity. Vinny, who was photographed by his father Sean in September 2020, has been invited by Disney to attend the premiere of Toy Story 5. The event will take place at the Odeon Luxe in London's Leicester Square on Thursday.
Sean recalled the moment as surreal, with the photograph gaining international attention. Disney's outreach to track Vinny down was facilitated by BBC Radio Leicester. The family is set to walk the red carpet alongside film cast and crew, experiencing the premiere firsthand before the film's wide release on June 19.
