! I'm curious how the filmmakers are gonna balance the old-school charm of Woody and Buzz with this new Lilypad character 
. It's like they're saying, just because tech is getting smarter doesn't mean traditional toys are obsolete. Can't wait to see how this plays out - will it be a clash of the titans or a fun exploration of coexistence? 
Either way, with Conan O'Brien on board as Smarty Pants, I'm expecting some witty banter 
!
I'm low-key worried about where they're taking this storyline. I mean, Lilypad sounds cool and all, but is it really necessary to make her the villain? Can't they just have a cool tech toy that's friends with Woody and Buzz? This 'villain' thing always ends in tears for me. 
And what about Bonnie's other toys? Are they gonna be left behind like yesterday's news? 
Also, I'm still trying to get over the whole Jessie's departure drama... this is just getting too complicated! 
conan obrien as smarty pants tho? that's a new one i'm def keeping an eye out 4 this one 
. And what's up with this Smarty Pants dude? Like, can't he see that being smart doesn't mean you have to be a buzzkill? 
Anyway, I'm hyped for the movie, but I hope they don't make it all about the tech vs tradition thingy. Just let's enjoy the toys having fun and adventures, 'kay? 
. It's gonna be interesting to see how they adapt to this new era of playtime 
.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE LAST SAW WOODY AND BUZZ LIGHTYEAR ON THE BIG SCREEN, AND NOW THEY'RE FACING OFF AGAINST A SMART TABLET THAT THINKS IT CAN REPLACE THEM?!?! Greta Lee is totally bringing the sass with her Lilypad character, and Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants? GENIUS! I'M ALL ABOUT SEEING HOW THESE LEGACY TOYS WILL ADAPT TO THIS FUTURISTIC WORLD. June 2026 can't come soon enough! 
i'm low-key excited for a movie where toys have to navigate being obsolete but at the same time, can we talk about bonnie's mom and how she created lilypad and why is that even relevant to the plot?? 
my mind is blown just thinking about it 
. Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants is a great addition, can't wait to see him bring some humor to the film 
. June 2026 can't come soon enough!
. And Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants? Yaaas, bring on the laughs! 
.
. Can't wait to see how it all plays out! 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to watch their favorite toys figure out how to coexist in the 21st century? 
It feels like we're constantly trying to catch up to some new benchmark of 'cool', but what about the value in slowing down and just enjoying the simple things? 
! Like, I get it, tech is advancing and all, but can't they just coexist? I mean, Woody and Buzz have been having so much fun with Bonnie for years, now some fancy tablet comes along and ruins the party 
. And what's up with Lilypad being a smart frog? That sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie 
.
My kids still love playing with their old toys, they don't need some high-tech tablet to make them happy 
Lilypad seems like such a cool (and slightly creepy) character - I love how she's got that edgy vibe going on. And Conan O'Brien as Smarty Pants? That's just too funny 
. But at the same time, it's cool to see how the toys are gonna adapt and learn from each other. I'm just hoping Woody doesn't get left in the dust 
... or maybe he'll surprise us all? 
, but I'm still worried this movie's gonna be all about the tech vs. tradition thing
