Just when everyone made peace with seeing Woody and the gang ride off into the sunset, Pixar dusted off the old toy chest to make Toy Story 5. It's like they are that boy who repeatedly killed their grandma to get a day off. As if four emotionally devastating farewells weren't enough, Pixar has taken Buzz's catchphrase 'to infinity and beyond' too seriously.

The plot of Toy Story 5 is in line with modern times, and it is exactly what you think it should be: toys vs. tech. The toys face a new danger taking over side tables and their place. Woody and Buzz are up against smartphones and tablets, it's like App-pocalypse.

In an era where kids rely more on tech gadgets than toys for leisure, it seems natural that the makers would take the franchise in this direction. It will be fun to see the toys try to fight gadgets to stay relevant. Imagine what will happen if Woody tries to lasso a smartphone and if Buzz thinks that 'cloud storage' is a galaxy.

Toy Story 5 will be directed by Andrew Stanton, the guy who found Nemo and shot Wall-E into space. He is now teaching toys how to use gadgets, like a grandson teaching his grandparents. The film is slated for release on June 19, 2026, so prepare to sit through the most emotionally crushing farewell, AGAIN.

Fan reaction to Toy Story 5 crew test screening

Fans still processing the ending of Toy Story 4 are skeptical of the new installment. However, the ones still weeping for the end of Toy Story 3 are not ready for another heartbreak. They expressed their feeling with hilarious comments that you should see if you plan to watch the film next year.

One user, @Dr_wraith, looks like he can't take one more sequel,

"Didn't Toy Story already say goodbye? At this point, these toys have had more emotional send-offs than the Fast & Furious crew."

Another user, @kuaroo_, decided to attack Disney in the process,

"I guess this is what being creatively bankrupt means"

One more user, @joshblaster_, is predicting a possible future that can become a reality,

"So like, are Andy's grandkids outgrowing toys in this one or what?"

User @Lilmaget is not afraid to show his true colors,

"Im not ashamed that I will be a fully grown man in that theater possibly sobbing"

Disney was like, "And the best part is, no one can stop me" (via @xerfantes)

If Toy Story 5 becomes a hit, there is a high chance for a Toy Story 6, whose plot could involve Woody and the gang battling AI and the metaverse.
