Visually, the film is as stunning as usual, with Pixar once again delivering vibrant animation, expressive characters and beautifully detailed environments. The usual themes of friendship, loyalty, change and finding value in an evolving world resonate strongly, while the humour and emotional storytelling remain as effective as ever. Have animated pixels on a screen ever been able to conjure up so much feeling, emotion and engagement as in the Toy Story films?
All the old voice cast are back and on top form. The ever wonderful Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump), returns as Woody, Tim Allen (Galaxy Quest 1999) reprises his role as Buzz and Joan Cusack (School of Rock) returns as Jessie. Early audience reactions have praised the film's warmth, humour and nostalgic appeal, with many celebrating it as a worthy continuation of Pixar's most iconic series. If you are an older fan or have young ones who have never seen a Toy Story film at the cinema, then this is your chance to bring all the family along to enjoy what will certainly be another Toy Story classic!
If you enjoyed all of of the Toy Story series and films like Finding Dory (2016) and Monsters Inc. (2001) then you are sure to enjoy Toy Story 5.
