Tom Hanks and Tim Allen said "We give kids this thing to make them antisocial beasts" while promoting Pixar's Toy Story 5, in which they return as the voices of Woody and Buzz Lightyear. They say the film frames technology as having stolen childhood and urges parents to "wise up fast," highlighting the value of hands-on, outdoor play and the "joy of rusty nails." Their comments turn a family blockbuster into an explicit call for parents to limit screens and prioritize tactile activities, shaping how audiences might talk about childhood and parenting.
