"Toy Story 5"

DAYTON — The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s animated “Toy Story 5,” and this time it’s toy meets tech. Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), and the rest of the gang’s jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device. Lilypad has her own ideas about what is best for the toys’ kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same? The “Toy Story 5” additional cast includes Tony Hale, Conan O’Brien, and Greta Lee. Rated PG for some thematic elements and rude humor, and has a runtime of 102 min.

The Rotten Tomatoes critics said, “Proving that old toys can learn new tricks while reckoning with an era of endless screen time, ‘Toy Story 5’ largely sidesteps franchise fatigue by reaffirming that children everywhere still have a friend in these lovable characters.” The audience agrees, rating “Toy Story 5” at 95%. Audience comments included, “Woody, Buzz, and Bonnie return to deliver yet another remarkable ‘Toy Story’ adventure -- one that’s thematically relevant, tugs at the heartstrings, and still makes you laugh to infinity and beyond.” Come watch “Toy Story 5” for a wonderful escape from the heat.
