Perhaps its success comes from its palpable themes of vulnerability \u2014 being replaced, being outgrown or forgotten, becoming irrelevant. Maybe it\u2019s the potpourri of misfits, voiced by A-list talent, that come together to seal the rift du jour dividing them. Of course, the initial 1995 \u201cToy Story\u201d set the gold standard of CGI animation and pretty much was the catalyst for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature that came into being in 2001 \u2014 the 1995 film won a special Oscar for ground-breaking animation, while \u201cToy Story 3\u201d (2010) and \u201cToy Story 4\u201d (2019) both won that \u201cBest\u201d award. It also has creative continuity \u2014 this new version is directed by Andrew Stanton, who\u2019s been involved in the script and story from the get-go, back in the John Lasseter\/pre-Disney years. Stanton\u2019s no slouch behind the lens, with \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d (2003) and \u201cWALL-E\u201d (2008) to his credits (he did also direct the 2012 box-office flop \u201cJohn Carter\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgemovinghub.com\/?p=404\">Amazon, AI and local media at 617 Day small business summit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In \u201cToy Story 5,\u201d co-directed by McKenna Harris, Cowgirl Jesse (Joan Cusack) takes center focus, during an all-out effort to find a like-minded companion for eight-year-old Bonnie (Scarlett Spears), who is having difficulty making friends. In \u201cToy Story 3\u201d Bonnie was gifted the olio of toys when older brother Andy grew up and went off to college.<\/p>\n<p>Now, though, the kids in neighborhood hang out on stoops and stare at Lilypads \u2014 customized kiddie iPads that make children inert, glow-faced zombies, because the tech that connects them consumes their brains. Bonnie gets one, too (the frogger Lily is voiced by Greta Lee of \u201cPast Lives\u201d) and as a result, many of Woody and Buzz\u2019s pals from past \u201cStories\u201d get relegated to a cardboard box in the garage. Old friends Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) are pushed to the side somewhat. Woody is something of a wandering nomad while Buzz has become wildly smitten with Jesse but can\u2019t figure out how to express his affections.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse\u2019s early efforts to get Bonnie in with the twins across the way go awry when Bonnie shows up with Jesse and her sidekick horse Bullseye in hand. Bonnie is promptly dismissed by the fraternal pair for even thinking such ragdolls could be cool in TikTok universe. In the mix, too, are an army of technologically-enabled (WiFi connected and more) Buzz Lightyears who think Jesse is their star-fleet leader, a pig named Jimmy Dean (pork loin humor) and Blaze (Mykal-Michelle Harris), the new girl across town that Jesse eyes as a Bonnie-mate candidate, though she too is tethered to a tech device called Smarty Pants (voiced by Conan O\u2019Brien).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgemovinghub.com\/?p=402\">\u2018The Death of Robin Hood\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The updates in animation tech in the 31 years since the original film have been exponential, with effects so layered and near-real it\u2019s often hard to discern. In watching \u201cToy Story 5\u201d I found myself missing the stark, cartoon-like old-school style \u2014 but since this chapter deals with keeping up and being relevant, maybe I need to look inward and up my hipness?<\/p>\n<p>But bad tech vs. good analog isn\u2019t really the message of \u201cToy Story 5.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s the axe-grinding conflict at the fore, but more so the divide that the power-charged and cuddly inert toys must bridge in their mission to aide their young, developing human charge in life \u2014 a task that Stanton and Harris paint with care, humanity and soul. <strong>\u2014 Tom Meek<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Playing at Kendall Square Cinema, Apple Theater Cambridge and AMC Assembly Row 12.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cambridgemovinghub.com\/?p=400\">At the Middle East, singing for his mental health<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cToy Story 5\u201d \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 Rating: 3 out of 4.
