The toys are back in town, and this time, they’re facing a new enemy — technology.
Buzz (Tim Allen), Woody (Tom Hanks), Jessie (Joan Cusack) and the rest of the gang returned for another adventure in Toy Story 5, yet another sequel in the long-running franchise.
The Pixar film was a big hit this past summer, grossing over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, and it’s sure to be equally popular when it hits streaming.

Yes. Taylor Swift’s original song written for Toy Story 5, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” will also be available to watch and listen to when the movie begins streaming. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Pixar’s first song to do so. It will likely be nominated for a Best Original Song at the Oscars next year.
Is ‘Toy Story 5’ Worth Watching?
Yes. Even five movies in, the 30-year-old franchise still has something to say about life and our strange love for our childhood toys. The film has an impressive 93 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating from 322 reviews, making it one of the most praised films of the year. The key to the film’s success is shifting the usual focus away from Woody and Buzz and onto Jessie, the fun-loving cowgirl introduced in Toy Story 2. Toy Story 5 is her story, and her interactions with Lily, the tablet that is replacing her, are a highlight of the film and the entire series. Cusack made a long-awaited return to acting to play Jessie again, and she gives one of the best performances, live-action and animated, of the year.
