This is a Gen Z film with a sequel and another in the works. If Moana (2026) doesn’t stoke nostalgia, then what was the draw for it being made?
"This Tempting Madness" is an exploration into Mia’s journey towards the truth. No matter how (clinically) insane it may be. After the incident and recovery, the film thrusts Mia and the viewers into a sort of darkness. We don’t know what’s going on, we don’t know who pushed us. All we know
Fear not, Space Ranger. Pixar has done it again, beating the odds and proving that you just can't count out Woody and the gange, ever. Toy Story 5 is a triumph, an emotionally devastating but hopeful continuation of everyone's favorite toys and their journey amid the changing cultural landscape.
