What is Toy Story 5 about?

Lilypad is the new toy on the block
From the new full-length trailer we see Bonnie - the little girl who Andy gifted his Toys to at the end of the third movie - playing with some of the toys from the previous movies, including Rex, Forky, Mr Pricklepants, Buzz, Jessie and Bullseye.
Then she can be seen opening up a package, which contains a tablet-like toy called Lilypad, that comes to life as she opens it.
The trailer then shows Bonnie spending a lot of time on the tablet and not playing with the toys anymore.
This causes Jessie to worry and contact Woody, who in the fourth movie decided to venture out into the world to help Bo-Peep rescue lost toys.
After that, the trailer shows Woody returning and the toys working together to come up with a plan to take on Lilypad.

Bonnie is trying to make friends in the new movie
So it seems like the story in Toy Story 5 will focus on Bonnie's relationship with traditional and digital toys, as well as the struggles of making friends.
