Critics + Audience Sentiment
Jessie discovers a hidden lunchbox under Emily's tree filled with photos of adult Emily and her daughter named Jessie
Bonnie disowns Jessie and Bullseye after her new clique mocks the toys in their chat group
Sentiment swings sharply upward from Bonnie disowning Jessie (5.5) to the discovery of Emily's lunchbox under the tree (8.5), a 3-point rise driven by the film's most emotionally celebrated sequence.
Toy Story 5 opens with a charming but uneven first half that reviewers found slower and more cliche-prone than earlier entries, before building steadily through Jessie's farmhouse journey to an emotionally powerful final act. The expansion of Jessie's backstory via Emily's lunchbox and the warm, funny finale were widely praised as franchise highlights, with Joan Cusack's performance and the Lilypad antagonist arc earning particular acclaim. The overall consensus positions it as a worthy if imperfect installment, clearly stronger than Toy Story 4 in the eyes of most reviewers, and a genuine emotional experience despite some structural wobbles in the middle.
