About "Toy Story 5"
The latest installment in the world-beloved "Toy Story" series is finally being released!
Jessie, the cowgirl doll, has been by the side of Bonnie, an imaginative and shy girl, watching her grow up. However, their daily life changes drastically with the arrival of the "Lilypad" tablet.
"Everyone's time is being dominated by tablets." Just like other children, Bonnie is obsessed with the screen, and if things continue this way, the smile that once shone during playtime will be lost... In this crisis, Jessie asks Woody for help. Reunited, Woody and Buzz join Jessie as she stands up to win back Bonnie's heart... Along the way, they meet the "high-tech toy" Smarty Pants, and with their unexpected cooperation, the story takes a new direction.
The bond between humans and toys that "Toy Story" has continued to depict. What is the ultimate "answer" they reach at the end of this journey?

Recommended Points
This is the long-awaited latest installment of the "Toy Story" series!
This time, the arrival of the cutting-edge "Lilypad" tablet has Jessie and the others in a total frenzy!
In this film's audio guide, the comical and adorable movements of the toys are inserted perfectly between the fast-paced dialogue. The exciting developments unique to "Toy Story"—going from "What's going to happen?!" to "What a wonderful idea!"—are also well-supported by the audio guide. Because the struggles of Jessie, Woody, and the others as they use their unique ingenuity to win back Bonnie's smile are described in detail, you can easily visualize even the most surprising scenes through the guide.
Also, this film is packed with "emotional" scenes that will tug at your heartstrings if you have watched the previous series. As this series celebrates its 30th anniversary in Japan, perhaps some of you watched the first film as children and are now enjoying it with your own kids. To enjoy the latest film even more deeply, please be sure to look back at the past works as well!

The HELLO! MOVIE app audio guide will be available starting Saturday, July 4th.
[Complete in 3 steps] How to use the HELLO! MOVIE app
The basic flow is: "Download at home, wait at the movie theater!"
If you prepare in advance, there is no need to operate your smartphone during the screening, so first-time users can rest assured.
🎬 Step 1: Prepare at home
Before going to the movie theater, let's prepare the app.
1. Search for "HELLO! MOVIE" in the app store and install it.
Or use the link below!
2. Open the app and select "Audio Guide".
3. Select the movie you are going to see and download the data.
💡 Tip: Movie theaters can sometimes have poor reception, so be sure to finish downloading using your home Wi-Fi!
🍿 Step 2: Once you arrive at the movie theater
Once you are in your seat, prepare the following while the intermission video is playing.
1. Connect your earphones to your smartphone.
2. Launch the app and wait on the standby screen.
💡 Tip: Pre-screening announcements play while you are in standby.
Since this standby audio is set to the same volume as the main audio guide, we recommend adjusting the volume to the perfect level at this time!
✨ Step 3: The screening begins!
Once the movie starts, the app will pick up the audio from the film and automatically sync with it.
The guide will play at the perfect timing to match the movie!
💡 Tip: It works even in airplane mode or with the screen asleep during the screening.
If you are concerned about notifications or light leaking from the screen, please try using airplane mode and screen sleep!
(⚠️ Note: Please make sure the audio guide has started playing before putting it to sleep)
💡 Tips for success
This app works by using your device's microphone to listen to the movie audio.
When using it for the first time, use the "Operation Check" feature within the app to make sure your smartphone is responding correctly!
If your smartphone is kept inside a bag or deep in a pocket during the screening, the movie audio may not be recognized well by the microphone, which could cause malfunctions.
When watching, we recommend keeping it out in the open, such as in your hand, on your lap, or in a drink holder!
Enjoy a rich movie experience using HELLO! MOVIE!
