Disney and Pixar have released the first trailer for the fifth part of the cartoon. Toy Story franchise, which reveals that technology will be the final villain in the long-running franchise.
The trailer shows a package being delivered to a home, as well as shots of the toys looking in fear at a green frog-shaped tablet named Lilypad (played by Greta Lee), which displays the phrase “Hello!” followed by the slogan “Is the age of toys over?”
This is just a small teaser, so it doesn't give much insight into the plot, other than the fact that smart technology (like tablets) will be playing the role of the villain. How Edges Jess Weatherbed noted that this does reflect a very real concern among parents that screen time (mainly tablets and smartphones) is replacing more traditional toys and time spent outside.
I add the term “smart technology” because children glued to any screen has been a problem for the last half century as television has become a mainstay in North American homes.
Even by then Toy Story came out in 1995, the Game Boy, which essentially brought home video games on the go, had not been released for seven years. Its successor, the Game Boy Pocket, had only was released. Even in the home console market Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn was on the market for about a year.
