Toy Story 5 took in $227 million at the Box Office in its first week.Toy Story 5 might end up the most lucrative movie of the year. The Toy Story films have earned $4.5 billion so far.

The Toy Story franchise began in 1995 and has continued for 30 years of success. The latest installment features Lillypad (Greta Lee), an iPad-like device that 8-year-old Bonnie immediately becomes addicted to. Cowgirl Jessie (Joan Cusack) fears devices are stealing the youth from kids. Most of the toys from these movies we love–Rex (Wallace Shawn), Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (John Hopkins), etc.–get relegated to a cardboard box in the garage.

In this toys vs. devices setup, Bonnie’s parents are oblivious to the changes in their child caused by her stopping playing with toys and her constant obsession with Lilypad. Toy Story 5 has a message behind its story.
