Based on the synopsis, with this movie being about someone actually named Buzz Lightyear who would later inspire the toy, that alone opens a huge can of worms in the Toy Story franchise. Putting aside the Easter eggs that somehow tie Pixar films into one universe, IIRC this series took place in a world where space travel and extraterrestrials were not established as actually existing.

Whole-heartedly agree, bro. I mean, Jesus Christ. I guess you could say that 🎶 straaaaange things are happenin' to him 🎶

Just why, why does everything have to be ruined?

Everything has to be ruined made non-problematic because these people are averse to any kind of risk-taking in media. Hence, shit like Lightyear and Raya and the Last Dragon.

The hilarious part is that the "representation" in Raya still wasn't good enough.


I think it's absolutely hilarious that Disney spent the last few years pandering to the Chinese market and not only failed specularly, but it got to the point where they couldn't even release their Chinese themed movies IN China. Shang Chi still hasn't been released there; that was literally the entire point of making the movie.

I didn't notice this at first until I read your comment. Wouldn't surprise me Disney/Pixar took influence from Hidden Figures and wanted to make a movie where there would be no Buzz Lightyear if it wasn't for a black woman. Hell! They could make her better than Buzz and the only reason Buzz was being praised was because he was white.

That's doesn't make sense since Lightyear seems to be set in the future, something like 100 years from now, how does an astronaut from 21XX will inspire a toy released in 1995?

Going by the trailer, i do believe the movie will take place in two different time periods, at first you see Buzz wearing a more or less "realistic" astronaut suit, then he flies to the sun, and later he's using his traditional space ranger armor, making even more confusing how this movie somehow is related to Toy Story.

I feel more like it’s going to be played super realistic, but all the super space ranger fighting Zurg(essentially the cartoon) will be “made up to entrain kids and sell toys” or something.

That's sounds eerily similar to that gritty PPG reboot that's in the works.

Oh god, don’t remind me….that show is easily one of the worst live action adaptations. Like for as shit as Avatar was, they didn’t claim the original cartoon was the fake version of events.

So the Buzz Lightyear origin trailer came out

Seems underwhelming to me. If only they put the Buzz Lightyear spin off show on Disney+

The art style looks really terrible. Why is everyone so overly textured and has these weird fish faces?
Where are the alien people? Buzz lightyear of star command looked like it had more heart put into it rather than this dull lifeless corpse and if I recall that show was made to sell toys. This film looks terrible
Why is everyone but Buzz is black? Is this film going to shame Buzz for being white and put dat hwhitie in his place?

No wonder I don't watch new movies or TV anymore. Everything has an agenda to follow with no deviations.
 
It struck me recently, I'm actually glad Disney's hand drawn film department is dead and has been for almost 12-13 years now ( Was princess and the frog their last 2D film again, I recall one that came out in 2012ish but I think that was an Indian film they distributed)

I wanna say it was only a few years ago that I was actually hoping for them to try their hand at it again since anime seemed to be getting more popular in the states and I remember a short a few years prior called paperman where they tried to experiment with adding traditional line work and techniques over CG (only to never use it again). But if their recent Live action films and pixar movies are anything to go by I'm hoping it stays dead and no suit gets any funny ideas about reviving it.

The irony is that this worked had spectacularly well for the BattleTech franchise with the BattleTech cartoon. Since the cartoon drawn in a lot of new people interested in the franchise and so FASA set the cartoon as a "show within a show" making it official.
For better unmangled synopsis Toy Galaxy done a video on it.

I noticed a quality drop after 2010. It was just a slowburn as they went through the backlog they already had in the works, especially with how often they leaned on sequels this past decade.

There was a huge quality drop, but I don't think it was a slowburn. It happened pretty quick, but I didn't particularly enjoy anything between Toy Story 3 and Incredibles 2 either. Maybe all the best people at Pixar saw the writing on the wall when Lasseter left for Disney proper and jumped ship once projects either finished or got stalled and that's why there was a steep drop in quality so quickly.

It is just as well but it's also shocking to think of 2D Disney films really being dead, a tradition that went on for decades and then one day it was poof, gone.

Especially as it happened not too long after the 90s renaissance and especially since they really seemed like they wanted to bring it back with Princess and The Frog, but Winnie The Pooh flopped, so...
