Is there a more eagerly anticipated movie this year than Toy Story 5? For many, the return of Woody, Buzz and friends is what cinema is all about. The series has grossed $3.3bn so far, and last year's teaser trailer garnered 142m views in 24 hours.
The new film, released worldwide on 19 June, sees Jessie the Cowgirl (voiced by Joan Cusack) leading the gang in eight-year-old Bonnie's room, with Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) as her second-in-command, after Woody's departure at the end of Toy Story 4 to help abandoned toys find their owners.
But a usurper enters the bedroom: a tablet called Lilypad (Greta Lee), whose benign frog-stylings conceal a dangerously addictive and prescriptive machine. Troubled by their own imminent redundancy and the insidious effect Lilypad is having on Bonnie, the toys rope in Woody again to stay relevant and banish the tablet.
Other newcomers include malevolent tech such as toilet trainer Smarty Pants (Conan O'Brien), a GPS hippo voiced by Craig Robinson, and a digital camera called Snappy, as well as tech-sceptic Dr Nutcase, a daredevil shaped like a peanut.
All key names are returning, including composer Randy Newman, and characters Hamm, Rex, Slinky Dog, the Potato Heads, Bo Peep, Forky, Dolly, Mr Pricklepants and Trixie – though Reptillus Maximus appears absent.
Send your questions about all things Toy Story, children, toys and tech for Hanks, Allen, Cusack and Lee by noon BST on Monday 18 May. Answers will be published on 12 June.
