The teaser introduces a modern-tech threat (a frog-shaped smart tablet called “Lilypad”) that challenges the traditional toy world. We will face the clash of classic play vs modern tech.
Why Woody’s return is raising questions
Woody had left his toy-friends at the end of Toy Story 4 (choosing to stay with Bo Peep) — so seeing him back in the teaser prompts the question: Why is he returning?
A potential answer to this question has already surfaced online.
According to TheWrap, early footage of Toy Story 5 shown at the Annecy Animation Festival revealed new details about the story and Woody’s return.
Pete Docter surprised the audience by showing the first scene of the movie – and it is a doozy.
Docter set up the story by saying that, since Woody (Tom Hanks) left Bonnie to look after abandoned toys, Jesse (Joan Cusack, whom Docter confirmed would be returning) has led the charge in Bonnie’s room. Buzz (Tim Allen) is her dutiful second-in-command. But Bonnie is now 8 (they showed her new look and it is appropriately adorable) and it seems like she is becoming enamored with more advanced toys, like Lilypad, which is like an iPad with a frog’s features around its frame. (Hey, that’s enough for Pixar to anthropomorphize.)
