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 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; co-director Kenna Harris noted the goal was to represent this connection.
- Using Jessie as the heroine gives filmmakers more time to concentrate on character development, according to Pixar, while addressing the divide between traditional play and extended screen time.
- As technology has evolved, the production accomplishes what the original could not, Harris explained, aiming to show how toys can adapt to help children navigate modern life.
- Reflecting on the franchise's journey since 1995, the film bridges classic characters and modern digital play, offering a fresh perspective on imagination's enduring value for new generations.
