Confused, having thrown up Toy Story V , nothing less (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

topsy-turvy

'confused' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'thrown up toy story v nothing less' is the wordplay.
'thrown' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'less' suggests deleting specific letters.
'up'+'toy'+'story'+'v'='uptoystoryv'
'uptoystoryv' with 'o' removed is 'uptystoryv'.
'uptystoryv' anagrammed gives 'TOPSY-TURVY'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for topsy-turvy that I've seen before include "In a confused state" , "Upside down; confused" , "Higgledy-piggledy" , "In great confusion" , "In total disorder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
