Expert review

This animated short set in the Toy Story universe has a playful, fast paced, and humorous atmosphere, with a party mood that is easy for young children to enjoy. The sensitive material is limited to mild tension around an overflowing bathtub, a few teasing remarks aimed at Rex, and a brief sense of worry when the toys lose control of the situation. The intensity stays very low, with no real violence, no lasting threat, and no realistic imagery likely to upset children for long, especially since everything is presented in a colorful cartoon style. For most children around age 4 and up, it should be very approachable, particularly if they already know the Toy Story characters. Parents may simply want to stay nearby for very sensitive viewers and explain that the danger is played for comedy, and that the teasing toward Rex mainly sets up his moment of confidence.

Synopsis

When Rex finds himself left behind in the bathroom, he puts his limbs to use by getting a bath going for a bunch of new toy friends.

Difficult scenes

At the beginning, Rex is criticized and teased by the other toys because he interferes with their bubble play. The scene stays light, but a young child may still notice the put downs and feel a little uneasy seeing Rex briefly excluded by the group. When the bathtub starts filling again, the excitement becomes more chaotic and Rex gradually realizes the water may overflow. The tension is short and comic, but the sense of losing control, with rising water and failed attempts to stop the faucet, could unsettle very sensitive children.
