The Karate Kid, a martial arts drama film, was released in theaters and became a cultural touchstone in the 1980s, popularizing karate and martial arts in the Western world.
Actor Ralph Macchio gained widespread recognition and became associated with the role of Daniel LaRusso, the main character in The Karate Kid film.
Following the success of The Karate Kid, there was a notable increase in interest and enrollment in karate schools and martial arts training in the United States and other countries.
The sequel to the original Karate Kid film was released, continuing the story of Daniel LaRusso and his mentor Mr. Miyagi.
The legacy of The Karate Kid was revived with the launch of the TV series 'Cobra Kai', which continued the story of the original characters decades later and introduced the franchise to a new generation.

Toy Story 5 is way better than any 5th iteration of a series has any right to be. Sequels really can keep being good if you give them time. This was a blast for the whole family. It's been a long time since so much of the humor in a movie hit just perfectly. Dads and moms were laughing just as much as the kids. An awesome movie.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
