'Toy Story 5': 3 Christian reactions to film's warning about kids using tech

By Samantha Kamman, Christian Post Reporter

2. Tim Allen 

Actor Tim Allen said he was “amazed” that Pixar chose to make “Toy Story 5” about the toys competing against technology for children’s attention. Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear, explained that he was struck by the studio’s willingness to address children's relationship with technology.

“They’re into tech, and yet they’re putting a light on their own tech,” Allen said in an interview with Us Weekly earlier this month. 

At a screening of “Toy Story 5,” the actor said the room became quiet during a scene depicting children absorbed in their phones. The actor praised Pixar for making the movie, calling it “courageous to re-encourage kids to play."
