We can only say goodbye to Toy Story so many times before it starts to get a little absurd. The series first ended in 2010 with Toy Story 3, as Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), et al waved their beloved owner Andy off to college and prepared for a new life with his young neighbour Bonnie.
Then it ended again with Toy Story 4 (2019), an existential pseudo-epilogue about making peace with life’s many endings, as Woody and Bo Peep (Annie Potts) retired from the toy life to take a shot out in the wilderness. Yet somehow, the pair turn up back at Bonnie’s bedroom window in Toy Story 5. Scratch that personal growth. There’s more money to be made.
