Toy Story 5 leads a varied week on streaming

This week’s new on streaming slate is anchored by a familiar franchise: Toy Story 5 — 8.3/10 arrives as the most highly rated entry in a group that ranges from family animation to tense adult drama. If you track titles by critical reception, it and Obsession — 8.2/10 are the most prominent draws.

Beyond those two, the list contains a mix of tones and formats. There’s the comic-drama Matchbox the Movie — 7.9/10 and the intimate-feeling Animals — 7.4/10, followed by the domestic-concern title Don’t Leave the Kids Alone — 6.8/10. Mid-range entries include Pinocchio: Unstrung — 6.5/10, while horror-leaning and franchise-wise offerings appear in the form of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City — 5.9/10 and the more austerely rated The Whistler — 5/10.

All told, there are 8 movies new on streaming this week, giving viewers clear choices: family-focused animation sits alongside character-led drama and genre entries. The ratings above come from TMDB (The Movie Database), and they can help prioritize what to sample first if you’re narrowing a watchlist.

Wrap-up: this week’s line-up is brief but diverse, with Toy Story 5 — 8.3/10 and Obsession — 8.2/10 offering the strongest critical pull and the rest filling out a mix of tones for different viewing moods.
