Review: (#1, B) For a teaser design, it’s all right. It reminds the viewers of the main characters from the first and second film and introduces the smirking villain of the fifth. Not much to see but sufficient for a teaser.

(#2, B+) From a thematic perspective, this design doesn’t quite work. In the film, it seems that the toys are being replaced by the Leap Frog clone but here they are included together on their way to school. It’s a clever concept to include all of the characters but apart from the looks of wariness and disgust, the thematic cohesion is underwhelming. (#3, B-) Similar to the prior design in how it approaches the characters of the story, re-setting itself into the child’s room fits thematically but by doing so, it also mutes some of the impact of the toys’ positions.

Trailer Rating: C / B

Review: (#1, C) For a teaser to what will likely be one of the biggest animated films of 2026, this one gives out enough details to intrigue the viewer. Unfortunately, the endless parade of characters from across the series’ length doesn’t do much but drag the entire preview beyond tedium.

(#2, B) Getting more into the details of the plot certainly helps make the struggle look more interesting, especially when it addresses the retirement of one of its characters in the prior film. Although this carries a lot of the cuteness and general appeal, it looks reminiscent of all of the recent past struggles these characters have been through and doesn’t promise much that gives everything a unique spin.
