Toy Story 5 Review: The Screens Have Won
In this review of Pixar's 'Toy Story 5', published by taz.de on July 22, 2026, critic Barbara Schweizerhof analyzes the film's central conflict: toys must defend themselves against the overwhelming influence of social media in a child's room. The plot follows eight-year-old Bonnie, who becomes obsessed with a social networking iPad called 'Lilypad', neglecting her toys and facing online bullying. The film shifts focus from Woody and Buzz to cowgirl Jessie, who worries about her relevance. The review notes the irony of Disney/Pixar critiquing screen addiction while being major producers of screen content. The film is described as witty, charming, and progressive, with a quasi-feminist makeover. The article also touches on broader debates about age limits for social media.
