This movie was doomed when they decided to turn toy Buzz into human Buzz. Kids grew up with and love toy Buzz, not this one.

I’ll stick up for Lightyear a bit. It’s actually not bad/kinda good. Of course Disney had to virtue signal hard as frick and throw lesbians in there for seemingly no reason whatsoever. But outside of that, it’s pretty entertaining.

I agree that it makes no sense that Disney has the “printing money” formula figured out, yet continuously ventures further and further away from that to virtue signal itself into the red though.

definitly falls in the “who asked for this” pile.

i watched some of it with my kid and it seemed like someone wrote a sci fi script and some exec was like “how can we tie this in with an existing IP?”

I've always said this. The interest in the movie was non-existent from the start. Just look at the official trailer.

To this day, it has 20M views on YouTube. The official trailer for Turning Red, which was posted a few months earlier, has 50M views. Frozen 2 has 101M views. Encanto has 46M views. Even Elemental has 32M views, and that was released just two months ago.
