Toy Story 5 actor says to "bring tissues" when going to see the new animated sequel, and now we're scared

It sounds as though Toy Story 5 may be the most emotional installment yet, as the voice actor behind Bonnie's mom warns fans to prepare themselves.

Whilst announcing her return in the upcoming animated sequel, voice actor Lori Alan posted on Twitter, "See you June 19! And bring tissues. Love, Bonnie's Mom."

Other emotional moments come from learning more about various toys' sad backgrounds, like Toy Story 3's Lotso's villain arc stemming from his owner replacing him, and Gabby Gabby's owner's flat-out rejection of her. However, the most heartbreaking segment has to be Jessie's abandonment by ex-owner Emily, which is reflected in the newest Toy Story 5 trailer, where we see Bonnie spinning Jessie around in the same manner that Emily did.

With all of this in mind, we wonder if one of the toys will exit the franchise, or possibly even be thrown away. Woody sure does have a few defects now with his bald head and all. Could he be one for the scrap heap? Bonnie's behaviour with Jessie might bring up some deep-rooted emotions in the cowgirl that may resurface again when Bonnie rejects the toys for her new tablet. After all, the sequel has been described as Jessie's story. We'd better get our tissues ready after all.
