Toy Story 5 sees the toys come up against modern technology, as they compete with tablet Lilypad (Greta Lee) for eight-year-old Bonnie’s attention.
While official reviews are not out just yet, the early reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, critic Jazz Tangcay suggesting the fifth movie is “magical and pure perfection”.
Collider’s Meredith Loftus added that it was “up there with Toy Story 2 & 3”, and had a “deeply profound” story to tell.
Meanwhile, star Tom Hanks has teased that Toy Story 5 contains one of the franchise’s “most heartbreaking scenes”.

“These movies, they end up speaking [to] and puts in words [and] stuff that everybody is thinking anyway,” he told The Hollywood Reporter, revealing the scene sees a young girl have her “feelings hurt” by “what other people are texting about her”.
“She doesn’t understand why,” he added. “She doesn’t know what she did wrong, but it hurts, and that is a very prescient thing to have in a motion picture today about little kids and toys.”
Elsewhere, Taylor Swift has released a brand new song for the film’s soundtrack called ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’.
Toy Story 5 is released in cinemas on 19 June.
