New on DVD: Schedule a playdate with 'Toy Story 5'

Tribune News Service on

Published in Entertainment News

The return of Pixar's popular playthings tops the DVD releases for the week of Sept. 22.

"Toy Story 5": Woody, Buzz and co. tackle technology in the franchise's fifth entry that finds cowgirl toy Jessie trying to help her kid Bonnie make new friends, with competition from a new device in town — a tablet.

"Tech does have its place in the world of toys and kids, but with some bumpers on, as everyone discovers," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "It’s a message of compromise, with everyone finding their place in a kid’s life, from tablets, to abandoned digital devices, to well-loved rag dolls. For Jessie, her emotional journey is learning how important she has been to all of her kids over the years, even if abandonment meant that she feared she was not enough."
