So then we’d be watching a movie about another movie about an actor portraying a spaceman, based on a popular children’s toy.
So much less confusing.

Or even a midnight screening rerelease of an old classic biopic film that he loved as a kid

Agreed

You must be right. I loved it. I'm a 52 year old white male heterosexual. What we used to call a man. But it's supposed to be for kids. I think I'm gonna watch it again now. Gn.

The charm of Buzz is a toy who thinks he's a space hero; not in a real space hero. Plus, the plot was pretty damn convoluted for a kids movie.

That is a lot of words to say ‘people thought our movie sucked’.
Because if they didn’t, he wouldn’t be saying anything.

🤷🏽♂️ so did I. I think I can hazard a guess why the loudest screamers didn’t

Idk why Disney didn’t put turning red in theaters, especially after their first Asian led superhero movie did well, and then seeing how everything everywhere did… you know they’re kicking themselves for that decision

The movie lost Disney ~$200m. How is that not considered a failure?

Maybe u weren’t around during peak lightyear discourse, but a lot of people were confused, if u don’t believe me go back and read all the threads regarding it bombing at the box office

I mean seems about right, even Tim Allen said there was a lot of confusion regarding what the movie was about and who it was about when he got asked about it

"Failed"
A few homophobes throwing a tantrum over a little kiss hardly constitutes failure.

The movie could have started with Andy as an adult going to the theater with his friends to see the new reboot movie of Buzz Lightyear. Then the lights dim and Lightyear plays as the "movie within a movie" premise.

It should have been released on Disney+, and Turning Red should have been released in theaters last summer.
That's what went wrong.
It was fine for a streaming movie. Turning Red had hit written all over it.

Lol, still not admitting it.

What a crock of shit. They made it abundantly clear in the trailers what the movie was.

Rome had a dictator in charge and spent a lot of time on conquest. They had gladiator arenas where people fought to the death.
That's all you need.

I had to arduously attempt to explain the concept of time dilation to my 6 year old sister with little success since I didnt really understand it myself.
That being said I thought the movie was cool, but it looked like they couldnt figure out what they wanted it to be, so it probably won't stand out in my memory.
I think they could have gone the more expected route and done a lot better.
