Tim Allen says Disney would not be making “Toy Story 5” if it was just about the money. The last two films in the franchise grossed $1 billion.

    Anything that has a part 5 is a cash grab, what are you even saying?

      Id like to think that Tom Hanks wouldnt attach his name to a lazy obvious cash grab.

        Even Tom knows he’s on his waning years and sucking up every role he can get.

    Andrew Stanton is directing “Toy Story 5,” which will center on Buzz, Woody and the rest of the toys as they go head to head with the electronics that now consume the attention of children.

    Oh boy, please go hard on cable TV channels and radio stations aimed at kids, Internet streaming services, toys-to-life video games, licensed mobile cash grabs developed by Gameloft and Club Penguin-like experiences! Any company in the business of those is evil.

      Oh boy, please go hard on … Internet streaming services

      My hope is not high for this. The movie will be made by Disney, so I don’t think they’ll be going after Disney+.

        Oh, I expect they well may, in Wreck-It Ralph 2 fashion. They might make it the target of a quick tongue-in-cheek remark at its own expense, but its mere appearance will nonetheless be an ad for the brand.

        Nah they’ll just have a talking tablet and little Tommy’s phone will wake up when he leaves the room and have a horrified look on its face. Apps will be opening and talking to each other. Buzz gonna discover AI and build a rocket. There’s gonna be a toy convinced that the room is a Fortnite map. “This is a straaaange game server! Build something! Fight Meeee!”

      But Woody stayed behind with Bo Peep to rescue other lost toys at the end of 4. I thought that was supposed to be the end because it was no longer Buzz and Woody. Buzz stayed with the family.

        And a hundred percent reason to remember the Toy Story IP

    I have been consistently surprised by how good each of the Toy Story films was. I can’t think of a way to make 5 after the way 4 ended (unless it has new protagonists) but I expect the folks making the movie to surprise me again.

        3 should have been the end of the whole thing tbh. It was the perfect send-off imo.

      You wanna outline the opinion or give a link or something?

      Usually you make quality and notable contributions, everything good over there?

        in summary, it is his opinion ( and he is quite vocal about it) that Toy Story 3 provided the perfect ending and he refuses to watch 4 or any future movies in order to not ruin said perfect ending.
