The conversation covers the film's June 2026 US release, Bonnie's new smart tablet called Lilypad, and how her old toys Woody and Buzz lose her attention to daily screen time. The dialogue also touches on the parenting debate the movie has sparked — connecting Chinese Cinema to everyday family life.
