Thirty years ago, a cowboy doll and a space ranger taught a generation that the toys in our closets might have inner lives of their own. Pixar’s beloved gang returns in Toy Story 5 — and this time, the threat to playtime isn’t a rival toy or a forgetful kid heading off to college. It’s the glowing rectangle in every child’s hands: a tablet. We’ll hear from the film’s co-director Kenna Harris and its producer Lindsey Collins about the joys and challenges of reviving this beloved franchise.

Guests:

Kenna Harris, co-director and co-screenwriter, "Toy Story 5"

Lindsey Collins, producer, "Toy Story 5"
