After four films exploring everything from growing up to finding purpose, Toy Story 5 finds a fresh angle by tackling a challenge many parents and children face today - the growing influence of technology on playtime.
While Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz remain important parts of the story, this chapter belongs to Jessie. Living with Bonnie and the rest of the toys, Jessie watches as her owner struggles to make friends. Bonnie loves playing with her toys, but unlike many of the children around her, she feels isolated and alone. When she asks her parents why nobody wants to be her friend, Jessie takes it upon herself to solve the problem.
