Okay, confession time. The "Toy Story" franchise is the only Pixar genre I follow. All the rest bored me to tears.
I have followed (seen) them all since the first one hit in the early 90s. Surprisingly, the fifth just came out and I was caught off guard by the release. Did they really make a fifth edition?
Well, yes. And I'm here to announce that it is time to put all the toys away for good. Or sell them on eBay.
Yep, I'm done. They're done. We're all done.
"Toy Story 5" is one convoluted mess that had the adults I was with totally confused by the plot. How the heck can kids follow this stuff? There's a well meaning concept here of traditional old toys being replaced by tech devices. Yrp, that is happening. But, the way this all unfolds in 2026. Elon Musk would have a tough time telling the story. Plus Tom Hanks as Woody, always the best thing in any Toy Story film, is relegated to a reasonably small role. But I doubt more would have helped.
We can stop at Five. Sadly, the on-screen epilogue sets up the sixth installment.
Yeesh.
LEN'S RATING: One star.
Dinner last night: Broccoli and rice.
