Electronics Could Become Toy Storys Biggest Hurdle Yet
Throughout the franchise, Woody and Buzz Lightyear have faced various obstacles, including Andys departure for college and nearly being destroyed.

Toy Story 5 is the fifth entry in the Toy Story movie franchise by Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.
Pixar’s Toy Story franchise has always been about Buzz and Woody, but Toy Story 5 could give other beloved characters time in the spotlight.
Though not much else is known about the sequel, its worth wondering how Buzz and company may renew Bonnies interest in them.
Technology hasnt rendered dolls and action figures, or other traditional toys obsolete,but it has rivaled them, as more children gain access to digital media and tablets.By incorporating electronics into the film, Woody and Buzz could face abandonment once again, but thenarrative inToy Story 5will likely give them more purpose and highlight the significance of retaining ones childhood.
As for the army of Buzz Lightyears, it will be interesting to see how that factors into the story and whether the main group of toys come across them.
It could also prove a fun throwback toToy Story 2’s Al’s Toy Barn, in which Tim Allen’s primary Buzz was tied up by others.
With more information being revealed aboutToy Story 5, anticipation should continue to grow, and fans can look forward to seeing Woody and Buzz reunite, and tackle technology, when the movie eventually premieres.
