- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Don’t get me wrong, this is still a good movie with lots of laughs, adventure, and heart. But it also traverses subject matter we’ve already visited in the last four films.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: PIXAR’s most enduring franchise just keeps delivering the goods, this fifth installment…championing the value of imagination over the use of technology for children’s development while still acknowledging the merits of the latter.
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Toy Story 5 is the gold standard for not just sequels, but animation and family movies, as Jessie, Buzz, and Woody help Bonnie navigate the tech age.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A smart family adventure that understands why kids love technology, and why imagination still matters.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Like the rest of us, Jessie is only here for a short time, and what matters isn’t the way things end between her and her loved ones, but the way she affects the people around her while she’s here. That’s what a fair number of movies are about, but it’s good that kids will be introduced to it by a movie as good as this one.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Toy Story 5‘ is a funny, heartbreaking, and insightful meditation on childhood in the digital age, asking what gets lost when screens begin replacing imagination. The gang is all here but it’s newly-minted Sheriff Jessie – in her journey to help her kid Bonnie make a real friend – that this story belongs to.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: While its somewhat centrist stance on children’s screen time may be frustrating, one can still admire its emphasis on the value of friendship, the fear of abandonment, and the power of imagination.
