Ahead of the release of “Toy Story 5,” The Walt Disney Company EMEA has launched a new short-film titled “The Magic of Movies: Jessie Saves the Day” as part of a philanthropic campaign supporting local hospitals.

Featuring some familiar faces, the short features a nervous young girl about to undergo an X-ray on her foot, clutching her Mr. Potato Head and Jessie toys in the waiting room. As Buzz Lightyear utters “Mission: this kid needs our help!” the toys spring into action to take some X-rays of their own and place the images where the little girl can spot them, giving her some comfort and showing her there’s nothing to fear before she undergoes the procedure herself.
