Why Toy Story 5 Broke Me [Spoiler-Free Review]

This week on FoF we tentatively turn to the world of Toy Story in hope that a 5th movie can recapture the magic of the original trilogy. I talk through how it hit me as a new Dad, and whether I thought it was successful on par with the previous classics. This review is SPOILER FREE, meaning anything that is shown in the trailer is fair game.SUBSCRIBE and join the FoF Family!RATE & REVIEW!
