"Toy Story 5": new film in the franchise that launched Pixar hits theaters

Advance screenings of "Toy Story 5″ opened on Wednesday (17) in cinemas across Brazil. The fifth film in the franchise, which already has more than 30 years of history, addresses a very current topic: the dangers of childhood trapped by technology.

The big villain this time is not a human character, but a tablet - called Lilypad, colored green. Bonnie finds it difficult to socialize at school as all the other children are also hooked on their digital devices, leading her to put her toys aside.

A franchise with impressive numbers
Toy Story turned 30 in 2024, with the first film being released in 1995. Over these years with four films, the franchise accumulated impressive numbers: more than US$3 billion in box office, 11 Oscar nominations and 3 statuettes, as well as a special award.

The first film grossed US$400 million; the second, around US$497 million. The third and fourth films each surpassed the US$1 billion mark at the global box office.

The expectation is that the fifth title will repeat this performance, driven by positive reviews that highlight the topicality of the plot.

João Gomes re-records a classic from the soundtrack
The iconic song "Amigo Isso Aqui", considered the franchise's motto, also gained a new version for the fifth film. Disney and Pixar invited Brazilian singer João Gomes to re-record the song, bringing a touch of Brazilianness to the production.

Shrek 5 is also preparing to return
On the eve of the release of "Toy Story 5", another animated film classic announced its return. One day before the premiere, the new trailer for "Shrek 5" was released, which presents an updated look for the characters.

The last film in the green ogre franchise had been released 16 years ago. "Shrek 5", however, will only hit theaters in 2027, being seen as part of a broader movement of nostalgia that has taken audiences back to movie theaters.
