Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
This week, Toy Story 5 heads to theaters, so we're heading back to the toy box. Whether it's Woody and Buzz facing their biggest challenge yet or a teddy bear setting off on an adventure of his own, there's something magical about stories that imagine what our toys might be up to when we're not looking.

Playtime sure has changed since we first met Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the gang! The toys come face-to-face with their biggest threat yet, Lilypad, a brand-new tablet device who has her own ideas about what’s best for their kid, Bonnie.
