## Fi1m on Bonnie Hunt

> Bonnie Hunt gives supporting characters an unforced warmth and a practical voice. We rate her conversational ease and understated comedy; our chief frustration is how little some films ask her to do.

In *Toy Story 5* (2026), Bonnie Hunt’s Dolly remains the voice of sense while the toy box fills with new arrivals. Her conversational delivery suits a character who can be sensible without sounding severe. We like that steadiness, though Andrew Stanton’s film has too many characters competing for attention. Hunt is welcome company in a sequel whose jokes work better than its thinking about children and screens, and whose crowded cast leaves us wishing for fewer introductions.

Her 1990s supporting work included *Jumanji* (1995), Cameron Crowe’s *Jerry Maguire* (1996) and *The Green Mile* (1999). As Laurel Boyd in *Jerry Maguire*, she supplies understated comedy without making a fuss about it. Crowe’s romantic comedy is generous towards its characters, although it takes too long to make its points. Tom Cruise, Renée Zellweger and Cuba Gooding Jr. provide its strongest performances; Hunt’s smaller contribution is a reason to appreciate the supporting cast as well.

Her Pixar voice work began with *A Bug’s Life* (1998), and brought recurring parts in the *Cars* and *Toy Story* films. Her Sally Carrera in *Cars* (2006) has the same relaxed, conversational quality. An improvisational background informs that delivery, while her work with Pixar has also included writing contributions. We can hear why she fits these films: an ordinary speaking voice gives the more excitable characters someone credible to talk to, without making sensible sound dull.

*Red One* (2024) is a less happy use of her talents: Jake Kasdan gives her Mrs Claus roughly five minutes on screen. We missed her, because a North Pole run as a security agency badly needs the straightforward warmth she is usually hired to supply. J.K. Simmons provides most of the film’s human feeling, and Hunt has too little time to help him make it bearable. Choose *Jerry Maguire* for an evening; do not sit through *Red One* on her account.

## Biography
