    They look remarkably more 'toy-like' in this one than all the others.

      Two things stand out to me that might be the main cause of that:

      1. The material textures are insanely detailed. I can see the dimples in the plastic of the toys, and each material looks perfect to life. I don't remember them being quite this good in Toy Story 4 even.

      2. Something about the blur looks like they're using tilt shift in this trailer. Our brains have come to associate that look with models, miniatures, and toys.

      I could be wrong about either or both of these, but that's my layman's perspective.

        I really don’t like when Pixar takes on sequels, and I’m typically annoyed when numbers larger than 3 start showing up in titles, but credit where it’s due for Pixar continuing to push the technical envelope. Have you seen this video about the camera lens simulation in Toy Story 4? That film stands out to me as being one of the most technically gorgeous animated works I’ve ever seen.

        I’m not convinced that we need a Toy Story 5, just as I wasn’t that we needed a 4 (or a 3 before that), but I’m gratified that the artists are doing their thing to make it look spectacular. By all rights it could be a cheap money grab but these are good signs that it won’t.

          To some extent I figure that Toy Story 4/5 exist to be able to fund movies like Turning Red and other movies. I don't love seeing so many sequels, but if it means we can get more interesting,...

          I don't love seeing so many sequels, but if it means we can get more interesting, experimental films too, then so be it.

    the toys look amazing but the tablet screen looks terrible. I've only seen the first and the one with the evil bear -- pretty good movies overall. Neat to see how animation grows.
