Fans react to Woody’s balding head in Toy Story 5 trailer
Fans are concerned after witnessing Woody’s balding head in the Toy Story 5 trailer. According to the trailer, Woody and Buzz Lightyear reunite to save Bonnie from Lilypad, a new iPad-like device that disrupts Bonnie’s life with screen-time distraction. All the toys realize they must unite and prove to Lilypad that toys are still worth playing with over tech gadgets.
At around the 1:18 mark in the trailer, Woody makes a comeback as the other toys rejoice upon seeing him. He is wearing a red cloak that functions like a cape over his yellow printed full-sleeve shirt. Woody takes off his hat, revealing his balding head as the other toys look shell-shocked. Trixie the Triceratops quips, “Someone needs a brown marker.”
Lilypad snarkily remarks to Woody, “What are you, some sort of old man toy?” To which Forky reiterates, “She thinks you are old because you are bald, Woody.”
Fans have taken to social media platforms Instagram and X to react to fan-favorite Woody’s balding head. One fan joked that the next installment would be about Woody getting a hair transplant in Turkey. The fan quipped, “TOY STORY 6: Woody goes to Turkey.”
A second fan commented, “The person Woody needs most right now,” with a photo of Geri, who fixed Woody once. A third fan wrote, “Woody out here living the millennial experience: loyal, overworked, and losing his hair to stress.” A fourth fan remarked, “Pixar really gave Woody the Norwood Reaper treatment and said, ‘Enjoy your childhood memories.’” Finally, one fan penned, “All men who were alive when Toy Story 1 came out can relate.”
Toy Story 5 drops in cinemas on June 19.
