Possible spoilers ahead
- “It’s a sublime summing up, a movie that reflects the whole series in its magic mirror, and (just maybe) a perfect ending.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety
- “While Toy Story 5 may fall short of essential, in an age in which children’s entertainment routinely panders to its audience, there is something quietly radical about a film that is willing to worry for them.” – Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
- “The studio naturally holds back from portraying Lily as an all-out villain — more a misguided soul, merely concerned with what’s best for Bonnie. But the film fails to drum up any kind of meaningful conclusion on the matter, even if it’s a nuanced one.” – Clarisse Loughrey, Independent (UK)
- “We’re losing something uniquely human between tabs, under signal strength, and over social content. Toy Story 5 hopes to claw us back to reality.” – Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
