Disney Reveals Toy Story 5 May Normalize Harming Children

Written by Joshua Tyler | Updated 9 minutes ago

First teaser for the movie Toy Story 5 He has arrived, and reveals something incredibly disturbing. It’s about a new kind of game. That game is an iPad called Lilypad.

This may seem logical on the surface. After all, iPads have become a popular parenting tool. Unfortunately, giving your child an iPad is also one of the worst things you can do for them. This glowing rectangle doesn’t just keep them busy; It causes severe emotional and developmental damage.

Screens are poison for young children

MRI studies of 3- to 5-year-olds found that higher scores on “digital media use” were associated with decreased cortical thickness and sulcus depth in areas of the brain associated with language, visual processing, and attention. Children who spend more time in front of screens show more attention problems and distraction. A systematic review covering multiple studies concluded that “extended screen time exposure…can be associated with attention problems.”

Serious effects on mental health? You bet. One longitudinal study of early adolescents found that higher total screen time was associated with increased symptoms of depression and ADHD.

There’s even a term for children who struggle with screen exposure. that it Autism caused by screens.

Buzz Lightyear toys make kids smarter and healthier

On the other hand, playing with a Buzz Lightyear toy enhances fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and problem solving. Research shows that hands-on play strengthens the neural pathways for creativity and concentration, while pretend play enhances language and emotional intelligence.

Promoting toys as something healthy for kids was what the Toy Story series was all about. Even in the 90s, when the Internet wasn’t as prevalent, the idea was to get your kids to play and pretend instead of watching TV. He glorified playing on screens. It’s the main point of the Toy Story universe and this has never been more important than it is now.

Lilypad is the villain in the movie, would that help?

The word is that Lilypay (voiced by Tron: Ares Star Greta Lee is supposed to be the villain in the film. I think this helps. But it’s still in the context of this child’s parents, parents who had previously gone out of their way to make sure their children had healthy toys, thinking it was a good idea to give one as a gift.

The film will likely take a somewhat ambiguous position, concluding that iPads are only good in small doses, or in equally poor doses. This is the only way things can go, unless Disney relents and allows John Lasseter to return to Pixar. It would take a genius of his caliber to do something else.

What it will certainly do, no matter how the movie handles it, is normalize lazy parents letting their kids run around on iPads. Toy Story 5 Normalization is so harmful that almost every scientist on the planet advises against it. Making this not so terrible would take a lot of text.

Quentin Tarantino explains what went wrong

A few months ago, director Quentin Tarantino revealed on Club Random that he was a huge fan of the first Toy Story trilogy and had vowed to never watch another Toy Story movie after that. Toy Story 3. “I literally finished the story as perfectly as possible, so I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done,” Quentin says.

Continuing your franchise after achieving the perfect ending is probably the dumbest thing any studio in Hollywood could do. The result of such unimaginably stupid decisions is not just a bad movie, but if done wrong, it can also be toxic, designed to normalize behavior that is harmful to children.
