I'm glad that he wasn't part of that deplorable movie which nobody asked for.

I dont think thats even the issue. My kids had no interest in it. They trailers did nothing for them. They are not even sure if they will watch it when it gets to Disney +.

none of the cast from the original animated movie returning. I loved his crew with the combat robot XR, Mira the sexy blue alien girl, and Booster the fat alien janitor. Warp was also cool.

Things related to Toy Story kinda died for me after TS3. I thought it was a good ending, then they made 4 and I didnt bother to watch it. I similarly have no interest in Lightyear. Obviously Im not exactly the target audience in the first place, but I dont think it helped for those hoping nostalgia would be a particular boon.

its being brigaded though. likely by people who are upset about 'the kiss'. male skew is much lower than normal (male-female ratings often are quite similar for these sorts of movies). The over-45 vote also skews quite lower, which is very, very irregular for these types of movies. old maga boomers are upset, lol.

I havent been less interested in a Pixar movie since Cars 1-3. They overestimated how much a Toy Story character would generate excitement. Replace Buzz with a new character and theres literally nothing interesting about the trailer.

The movie isn't bad but everybody went in with their own expectations of what they wanted out of a Buzz Lightyear movie.

Instead of tempering their expectations or being open to what was actually given to them, they're busy throwing hissy fits claiming "NOT MY LIGHTYEAR"

Buzz looks fine.

If anything the still face they use for Buzz in TS1 is more unlikeable than the rather generic looking face they use here.

It's made $100M in a week.

It debuted at 1, then has been 2 then 3 through the week.

It also has some competition but it is a little underwhelming of a box office performance.

Though tbh I didn't even realize it was coming out til like 2 days prior

Well it has grossed about half its budget 1 week after release so it is very likely going to be a bomb. They might break even if they are lucky, but they sunk 200 million on this thing and I have no idea why

That's pretty standard for animated films. CGI is really expensive, but they still go with these budgets because the home video and merchandising market is continuous when it comes to kids films

i mean, didnt Buzz already have an origin story of sorts? i remember there being a 2D cartoon where he fought Zurg with a bunch of other guys.

i thought he was supposed to be a toy which was made to sell alongside a cartoon. like Transformers, He-Man and most 80s cartoons... lol

Just Google the movie. It bombed, critically and financially.

Idk where youre getting IMDB from, I never even mentioned it, nor did I check it.
