Toy Story 5 received a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association. The listed reason is “some thematic elements and rude humor.”
That rating marks a change for the main Toy Story series: the first four numbered films were rated G in the United States, while Toy Story 5 is the first mainline entry to receive PG. The franchise’s spin-off Lightyear had already received PG in 2022, so Toy Story 5 is the second film in the broader franchise with that rating.
The rating fits the film’s themes rather than indicating extreme content. Its story deals with children moving away from traditional toys toward touchscreen technology, social pressure, friendship, and screen time. The film remains an animated family adventure, but the MPA’s PG category signals that parents may want to consider those themes and mild humor. Regional classifications can differ; for example, another country’s system may use G or a different advisory label.
