\n\tWill Woody or Buzz Lightyear save the toys from extinction? <\/p>\n
\n\tThat question was at the heart of the \u201cToy Story 5<\/a>\u201d footage that Disney and Pixar shared with theater owners on Thursday at CinemaCon<\/a>. One scene found the toys dealing with being shunted aside by their owner Bonnie (Scarlett Spears), in favor of Lilypad (Greta Lee), a tablet designed in the face of a frog that allows its owner to build chat groups and play interactive games with friends for hours and hours. That could spell the end of the line for Sporkey, Rex, Hamm, Bo Peep and the other dolls and action figures that once delighted Bonnie. So to figure out a way to battle all that screen time, the toys send out an SOS to Woody, who arrives, in the second sequence, paunchier, balder (\u201csomeone needs a brown marker\u201d) and wearing a poncho that\u2019s straight out of a Clint Eastwood Western. But that makes Buzz feel unappreciated and the two friends soon clash over who has been deputized to save the day.<\/p>\n \n\tClearly the world of toys has changed a lot since 1995 when the first film debuted in theaters. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, who took the stage in Las Vegas to debut the first look, acknowledged that 30 years have passed since \u201cToy Story\u201d first captivated audiences.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe looked at a video of us doing the first one \u2014 we look like our grandchildren,\u201d Allen quipped, while Hanks said he looked like he was in \u201cjunior high school\u201d when he saw the behind-the-scenes look.<\/p>\n \n\tAlong with Hanks and Allen, the cast includes Joan Cusack, Greta Lee, Tony Hale and Conan O\u2019Brien. Andrew Stanton, who oversaw \u201cWALL-E\u201d and \u201cFinding Nemo,\u201d directs. The film is expected to be one of the year\u2019s biggest given that the franchise has generated over $3 billion at the global box office.<\/p>\n \n\tAs part of its show-and-tell to exhibitors, Disney showed footage and teasers from \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2,\u201d \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d and the live-action remake of \u201cMoana.\u201d Disney has a lot of fans in theater owners, not only because it releases major blockbusters, but due to its commitment to leaving its movies in cinemas for at least 45 days. Windowing, or the length of time a movie is exclusively on the big screen, has been a major topic at this year\u2019s cinema. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cToy Story 5\u201d\u00a0is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will Woody or Buzz Lightyear save the toys from extinction?
