Summary
Pixar’s Toy Story 5 team used the film’s Los Angeles premiere to urge Quentin Tarantino to give the sequel a chance, despite his vow to stop after 2010’s Toy Story 3.
Tony Hale, Pete Docter, Jim Morris and Andrew Stanton argued Pixar would not make a fifth film without a story worth telling, framing it as part of a Bonnie-centered trilogy beyond Andy’s ending.
The new movie pits Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the toys against Bonnie’s tablet, Lilypad, turning the sequel into a tech-versus-toys story Stanton called timely and “messy” enough for drama.
Joan Cusack said Jessie becomes the main character this time, while Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return and Taylor Swift contributes an original song, adding star power before the June 19 theatrical release.
