"When "Toy Story" premiered in 1995, the enemy was plastic. In its latest chapter, it's pixels. More than 30 years after Woody worried about being replaced by Buzz Lightyear, the franchise is ready to take on a bigger threat: the screen. The official trailer for "Toy Story 5" was released on Thursday and shows the toys vying for Bonnie's attention against a frog-themed tablet named Lilypad."
"In the clip, Bonnie receives the device in a package and is almost instantly absorbed, scrolling and tapping with a glazed look as her analog toys watch from the sidelines. It all builds to a face-off between Jessie the cowgirl doll and Lilypad. Jessie says, "You're not even listening to me," only for the tablet to coolly reply, "I'm always listening.""
Toy Story 5 pits Bonnie's analog toys against a frog-themed tablet called Lilypad that competes for the child's attention. Bonnie receives the device and quickly becomes absorbed, scrolling and tapping while the toys watch. Jessie confronts Lilypad and the tablet replies, "I'm always listening." Woody and Buzz return to voice roles, with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprising Woody and Buzz. The film opens June 19. The storyline reflects wider concerns about screens reshaping childhood, noting links between excessive screen time and delays in social skill development, attention problems, and behavioral issues, prompting policy responses in some governments.
