Summary
Tom Hanks said he and Tim Allen agreed to return for “Toy Story 5” only after director Andrew Stanton pitched a new story they believed could match the first four films.
Stanton, given broad freedom at Pixar, came back saying he had another “Toy Story” movie, prompting Hanks and Allen to compare notes before signing on.
The fifth film follows Woody, Buzz and the other toys as Bonnie’s attention shifts to a tablet, threatening their place in her life.
Hanks, reflecting on the franchise 31 years after the 1995 original, said the actors still treat each sequel cautiously because they do not want a weaker entry.
