Even the worst 'Toy Story' is the animated film of the year

Source Summary

As the neoliberal monsters they are, the scoring websites Toy Story 5 , which premieres this Wednesday, is the worst installment in the saga, the least inspired of all, even when compared to the usually undervalued – and, however, stupendous – Toy Story 4 . Despite everything, Toy Story 5 is many other things, and all of them magnificent: a delightful entertainment, a demonstration of narrative talent, a (nuanced) critique of the influence of screens on children, and, above all, an almost existential reflection on our own obsolescence as human beings, toys in need of affection who pass through life, amuse ourselves for a while, love, and fall into oblivion.
