Re: Toy Story 5

Woody's got a complex around feeling forgotten, yes, but the first three movies brought those issues to a much more satisfying resolution. Number 4 had to retcon some things we had known about both Woody and the attitudes of the larger story. Some things that number 4 expects us to buy into in orde...

You don't like seeing Woody's loyalty quality being challenged?

Re: Toy Story 5

Nothing in Pixar’s record with this franchise has ever said "cash grab." I get why sequels make people nervous, but Pixar hasn’t treated Toy Story like a cash grab in 30 years. The shorts are fun, but they can’t explore character growth the way the films do. TS5 has potential to build on ...

Re: Toy Story 5

And there's another thing that confuses me. If so many people really want original IPs from Disney and Pixar so badly, from what I can see on social media, then why didn't they go see Elio? How did it end up having the lowest opening in Pixar history? The cynic in me has a lot of thoughts about the...

Re: Toy Story 5

Who cares, as long as the movie is good? I agree. I've liked all the films so far, although admittedly I enjoyed 4 less than the first three. I guess I find it pointless to complain about sequels because they're not going away. And I guess I personally do enjoy getting new content of the same group...

Re: Elio

So I’m hearing Elio might be tracking to earn a $35-45 million opening weekend. I solemnly swear if people don’t show up for this movie and they announce a Toy Story 6 as a result, I’m going to be so mad. Everyone complains that Disney these days only does sequels and live action remakes and demand...

Re: Wish

How do you know that? As far as I know, there is no concrete evidence from Disney or its creators explicitly stating that Star was made to sell toys. Because Star has much more merchandise that other characters from the film. Obviously they are not going to say it but it's quite obvious that they m...

Re: Moana 2

The only thing I'll say is...I'm scared :huh: The fact that this was supposed to be the Moana sequel series on Disney+ and is suddenly now going to be a feature length movie just for Disney to "course correct" is so concerning since the story might have such a downgrade. It's Megamind 2 a...

Re: Moana 2

The prospect of having 4 years of sequels in the pipeline with Moana 2, Zootopia 2 and Frozen 3 and possibly 4 is just not creatively interesting... at all! Especially not considering that they are doing a live action remake of the original Moana, coming out soon. It just reeks of a total lack of v...

"Damage control"? If only more people went to see non-sequels like Strange World and Wish.

So? Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty also had simple stories.
