Tom Hanks says the upcoming film Toy Story 5 addresses what he calls the “terror” of children’s screen addiction. Multiple outlets report that the movie introduces a new tablet device called “Lilypad,” which competes for children’s attention against Woody, Buzz and the other toys. The Independent and BBC News both describe the central premise as toys facing a threat tied to increased screen time, framing it as a conflict over who gets a child’s attention. In the coverage, Hanks’ comments characterize the theme as a broader concern about how screens affect children, rather than focusing only on traditional family or toy-based comedy. The articles also note that the franchise continues with familiar characters, with the new installment set around this tablet-driven competition. While the sources differ only slightly in phrasing, they converge on the same points: Hanks’ remarks about screen addiction and the film’s use of a tablet named Lilypad as a key plot element. The reporting does not provide additional details beyond this premise and thematic framing.
