What will Toy Story 5 be about?
Woody and Buzz will now have to adapt to a world where traditional toys have lost their place. Bonnie, along with other children, seems more interested in technology, pushing the classic toys to the background.
However, technology could also be a useful tool for the toys themselves. Mobile devices will help them find Woody and Bo Peep, adding a modern touch and demonstrating how toys can evolve and stay relevant in today’s world.
But technology won’t be the only challenge they face. An army of defective Buzz Lightyear dolls, seeking revenge for their malfunction and neglect, will emerge as one of the main antagonists.
Additionally, we will see Jessie, the brave cowgirl, take on the leadership of Bonnie’s group, playing a key role in this new adventure.
