The film “Toy Story 5” grossed over $310 million in the global box office. A week after its premiere, the movie about the secret adventures of a group of toys that come to life when people are not looking became a real success in the global box office. The film, created by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by The Walt Disney Company, grossed over $310 million during its first weekend of screening.
This million-dollar debut only strengthens the saga as one of the most profitable franchises in Disney‘s history. Before this latest release, the four previous films had already grossed over $3 billion in the global box office, supported by the billions generated by the large market of related products.
Continuation of the saga and a new conflict
Although it seemed that the cycle had perfectly concluded with the film “Toy Story 3” in 2010, the decision to revive the story nearly a decade later—a step not without controversy—proved to be profitable. Following the success of the film “Toy Story 4”, which surpassed the $1 billion mark, this new release clearly shows that the passion for Woody and Buzz remains unchanged.
In this new installment, the familiar gang faces a very modern enemy: screen addiction and the digital world. The conflict begins when Bonnie, now eight years old, receives an interactive tablet in the shape of a frog called Lilypad. Captivated by the device and social media to fit in with her peers, the girl begins to neglect her classic toys.
Faced with this crisis, the cowgirl Jessie, who leads the room, decides to call for help over the radio to Woody. He returns from his free life with Bo Peep to devise a rescue plan with Buzz Lightyear. From this moment, the film splits into several adventures.
On one hand, after being rejected, Jessie gets lost and accidentally ends up on the farm of Emily, her first owner from the film “Toy Story 2”, where she uncovers a touching family secret that heals her long-standing trauma of abandonment.
