Change agents: ’Toy Story 5’ addresses electronic device threats
Pete Docter says the film explores how high-tech devices are changing the way children play, with Jessie leading the toys’ response.
- In Toy Story 5, now in theaters, Jessie and Bullseye confront the rise of high-tech gadgets, forcing the classic toys to find new purpose in a changing world.
- Rather than casting technology as a villain, the film explores the complex relationship between toys and modern devices, with co-director Kenna Harris noting the goal was to represent this connection.
- Using Jessie as the heroine gives filmmakers more time to concentrate on character development, according to Pixar, as the story addresses the divide between traditional play and extended screen time.
- As technology has evolved, Harris stated the production accomplishes what the original could not, allowing for more nuanced storytelling that shows how toys can adapt to help children.
- Reflecting on the franchise's journey since 1995, the film bridges the gap between classic characters and the modern reality of digital play, providing fresh perspective on imagination's enduring value.
