P: I want to see Toy Story 5

Dad: Wow. They haven't even made Toy Story 4. Who is in Toy Story 5?

P: Me and Buzz and Woody and the whole world! It's a very long movie.

P: 150 Years.

Dad: Wow. That's a long time. We'd have to live there. And our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren!

P: And Mommy and Joss can join us. And we can have popcorn. But the movie theater has no doors.

Dad: Then how will we get in?

P: We have to use magic. We'll need magic wands.
