I know I’m a bit late, but does anybody feel like the entire internet has ignored a really weird aspect of Toy Story 5? I get that they wanted the characters to be more involved in the human’s lives, but good lord, if my kid (I don’t have kids) lost her toys and some stranger starts messaging them about meeting up to give them back (especially right after she got an internet connected device) I’d be insanely freaked out!
Same goes for the other girls parents. New toys show up, and a girl and her “mom” (yeah they look alike, but predators arent always stupid) claim to have been messaged by your daughter (despite your kid having NO WAY to have known how to get in contact with them) and the girl shows almost ptsd-like symptoms upon seeing these toys and denies wanting anything to do with them? Nope, nope, get off my property, lady!
I find it odd that every conversation about this film I’ve seen only talks about the tech addiction aspect, when every parent in the audience should be getting some spidey-sense tingles.
Apologies if this isn’t quite the right spot for this, it’s the closest thing I could find atm.

I hadn’t thought about that
I am not a parent and I haven’t seen the movie, but it makes sense that our exploitative overlords would want to groom the next generation of victims by normalizing naivety. Thank you for pointing this out. An alarming number of people, parents included, are not so good at thinking critically, and their children often suffer for it.
