The most relevant part of Toy Story 5 for me is Conan O’Brien as the voice of the electronic toy/toilet training device Smarty Pants, both because Coco is one of my favorite funny people of all time and because I could certainly benefit from tips to improve my visits to the bathroom. So what I’m saying is, I would appreciate versions of Smarty Pants for all stages of life, with a trusted voice leading the way for all of us. To paraphrase a certain sheriff: Toys are for play, but tech is for everything, and by “everything”, that better mean everything. For your health! And for better friendships too, if only indirectly.
