Pixar has always made some of the best sequels in history, and the *Toy Story* franchise is no exception. This fifth entry-all about "toys vs tech"-is easily the franchise's best in my opinion, and the most relatable. I really liked how the movie handled the conflict with a level of nuance, where the toys' fear of technology stems from being there for various kids for years (including their current one, Bonnie) and not wanting technology to take away that attention from them. The "villain", Lilypad, is also portrayed as a somewhat menacing character, but in reality is just doing her job, and the toys' point of view is why she is portrayed as a villain, with the movie's ending where the toys and her come to an understanding and work together being the perfect resolution. I also really loved Woody's role in this movie, where he used his past experience with Andy to try and help Buzz and the others out, but in the process, he continued acting like a control freak. This is a very common characteristic of him, where he frequently tries to take control of a situation and not let someone else handle it, and in this movie, that is his arc: learning to let Buzz and Jessie handle some of the scenarios themselves and step back. The animation is also phenomenal, showing Pixar's technology having evolved in the last 40 years or so to the point where their movies look just like real life, but with stylized character designs. The way they animated Lilypad is particularly creative, having her eyes and mouth be 2D-esque while the rest of her is all 3D. I also loved the cel-shaded, painterly look of the playtime scenes, as they added color and vibrant visuals to this otherwise grounded franchise. While I don't think an entire *Toy Story* movie can be animated this way, I do think there can be more sequences that use this technique besides the few playtime scenes this movie gives us. This movie, of course, was also very funny, and every joke landed really well, with my favorite being when Buzz told a bunch of drones that look like him that Zurg is their father. At the same time, this joke also hints at something deep: Even though Buzz and Zurg are enemies, they're still family, and Buzz still cares about him, likely after seeing him bond with Utility Belt Buzz in *Toy Story 2*. It was also refreshing that while Randy Newman did the instrumental score, he didn't return to sing "You've Got a Friend in Me". That song is 30+ years old, so it's bound to be repetitive. Taylor Swift's new song, "I Knew It, I Knew You", is a breath of fresh air, keeping the lighthearted vibes of the franchise intact while adding modern pop artists to this timeless franchise's music. *Toy Story 5* overall is easily, in my opinion, the franchise's best entry, and the most relatable to its time period, and I cannot wait to see what else Pixar does with this iconic franchise.
