LOS ANGELES, June 19 (UPI) -- The original Toy Story (1995) introduced a simple premise: Your toys are never where you left them because they're actually alive and have their own adventures until you find them again.
Through five films, four streaming on Disney+ and Toy Story 5 in theaters Friday, the Toy Story movies entertained children with their beautifully animated depictions of playtime and friendships between different toys.
It was adults, however, who were more likely to have emotional breakdowns over the films' depiction of milestone life events they'd already lived through.
From existential crises to concerns about the pervasiveness of tech, the Toy Story movies have resonated with adult audiences throughout the years due to their timely themes.
