- Toy Story 5 will address children's growing dependence on screens, says star Tom Hanks, who voices Woody.
- The latest instalment in the franchise introduces a new rival for the classic toys: Lilypad, a frog-shaped tablet voiced by Greta Lee, which competes for the toys’ owner Bonnie's attention.
- Hanks said the movie features a scene showing phones glowing in bedrooms across a cityscape at night, which “does strike terror into the heart”.
- Tim Allen, who plays Buzz Lightyear, said that social media has conditioned younger audiences to short-form content, making it challenging for them to stay engaged with longer films.
- Joan Cusack, the voice of Jessie, believes the film's themes will resonate with parents concerned about limiting screen time.
