Summary
A cargo ship containing a unit of hi-tech Buzz toys crash-lands on an island. Stuck in demo mode, they follow the North Star to 'rendezvous' with Star Command.
With tablets being the latest trend, Bonnie Anderson's parents gift eight-year-old a Lilypad so she can socialise with the other kids.
Concerned at Bonnie's neglect, Jessie contacts Woody for advice, who's helping Bo Peep rehouse abandoned toys.
When Jessie and Bullseye go missing, Woody and Buzz search for their friends.
Mid-credits
A child in a playground is stunned by a Buzz drone flying down to him. Immediately after, the rest descend and every kid claims one, including a teacher.
The camera pans to a kid produces an upgraded version of Emperor Zurg from this backpack. We wrap after Buzz's father says: "We meet again, my son!"

Like 4, this wasn't bad or anything, but fails to justify its existence.
But money.
While billed as a sequel to 4, it's effectively a continuation of 2, bringing Jessie's narrative to a close.
Although most established characters are just background noise, new additions Smarty Pants, GPS receiver Atlas and camera Snappy provided some fun moments.
Part way through, Woody removes his hat and bald patch reflects light, dazzling those around him.
Also, the original Buzz has put on timber.
Visual gags are supposed to be funny, but toys 'aging' was just stupid.
