# Film Retelling Cards Yoto Turns Toy Story 5 into an Audio Card By Jana Pijak | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-11-02 | Experience, Retail & Emerging Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/film-retelling-cards References: [retailtimes](https://retailtimes.co.uk/yoto-launches-new-disney-and-pixar-toy-story-5-card)  Yoto is expanding its children's audio range with a [Toy Story 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-and-toy-story-5) card that retells the film as a [screen-free listening session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toniebox-2). Built for kids ages 3 to 8, it turns the plot into a narrated story with music and sound effects instead of a movie viewing. The story is split into 10 chapters, so families can play it in shorter bursts rather than commit to a full sitting. Runtime is about an hour, and the card is sold through Yoto UK for £9.99. It also works across Yoto devices and the free Yoto app. At £9.99, the card turns a major family movie into a lower-commitment audio purchase that parents can replay across their Yoto setup. Breaking the story into 10 chapters widens audio's role from bedtime listening to short on-demand entertainment, giving Yoto another way to keep licensed franchises inside its screen-light ecosystem.
