Pixar’s Toy Story 5 puts Jessie front and center as Tim Allen teases an emotional reunion with Woody and Buzz.

Pixar learned early that the smallest gesture can feel like an ocean. The studio emerged from the vision of John Lasseter and other Disney talents who wanted to try a new aesthetic and tell stories that meet adults and kids in the same place.

After a string of box office failures, Disney is looking to get back to what works with its theatrical releases. That means focusing on well-known IPs and sequels. Toy Story 5 is coming to theaters next year, and it's set to pit the toys against technology.
