Couldn’t agree more with youDisney's Divinity wrote:This may be a minority opinion--but who cares, I'm used to that--but if they're doing this, I hope it has a "serious" feeling to it, doesn't include Zurg, and is nothing like the TV series of yore that I always hated.
Although I wouldn’t mind if Zurg included If Done truly right. After all, he is Buzz’s father 
I just think Zurg’s design is a little odd looking, it’s hard for me to imagine that design working as a serious villain. The moments with him in Toy Story 2 were so funny. I know they were probably more inspired by Darth Vader, but the design always makes me think of the villain from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. 
Oddly, Rivera contradicts this deleted scene from the first "Toy Story" movie that reveals that the Buzz Lightyear toy comes from an animated television show.Sotiris wrote:Source: https://www.laughingplace.com/w/article ... at-annecy/“A film unlike any we’ve ever done before,” Jonas Rivera teased about the next upcoming project, a sci-fi adventure film, Lightyear. “You know his name, now discover his story.” He explained that back when they made the first Toy Story, they imagined that Buzz Lightyear was a toy based on a big blockbuster film, that could’ve been Andy’s new favorite movie. “Lightyear is the definitive story of the original Buzz Lightyear.” Chris Evans will voice the title character in the film, which is due out in Summer 2022. “We can’t wait to take audiences, I’m gonna say it, to infinity and beyond.”
It's not odd. It's to be expected they'd lie and revise history to justify this cash grab's existence.estefan wrote:Oddly, Rivera contradicts this deleted scene from the first "Toy Story" movie that reveals that the Buzz Lightyear toy comes from an animated television show.
I wouldn’t call It a lie per se, As he could’ve been referring to a very early development before they made a scene/an idea to change that scene/backstory information after they made a scene as After all why was a scene not use in the final movie? Not to mention that they did recycle the scene/backstory And also change it for Toy story 2 [ A.k.a. my favourite movie BTWSotiris wrote:It's not odd.

It’s also probably done to keep making the old versus new metaphor between Woody and Buzz; in other words, Woody gets a TV show, Which was a big back in the day during the heyday of his brand, whereas Buzz Would get a blockbuster movie, which is more in style with his modern aesthetic’s They do that on YouTube for when the trailer appears as an ad before another video and grabs someone's attention, so they don't immediately press the "skip" button. But even though I understand the reasons, I also find it slightly annoying.PatrickvD wrote:My favorite nonsensical thing is when a trailer starts with a brief teaser of the trailer you’re about to watch. I understand that this is because the instagram generation has the attention span of a brick but ugh, it’s all so self indulgent.
I mean, a Barbie-centered movie would be completely different in tone than this, too, I imagine. More humorous than serious.Oh, really? Interesting. That makes sense to me. There are a lot of touches of horror in that film, even though it's ultimately a family film. The beginning with all the creatures in the dark, their chests glowing sort of creeped me out as a child. Then the shots of the family house in the dark and they think something is outside. Or later when E.T. is found dead or the way they portray the quarantine takeover of the house. Makes sense that an alien film would've began its start that way. And explains the actress for the mother, since I primarily associate her with horror films.estefan wrote:Columbia even chose to let E.T. go to Universal, because it had departed so heavily from Spielberg's initial horror movie pitch (Not even joking. E.T. was originally a horror movie).
That would only leave two possible concept from my point of view; a "real" Woody that lived in the old West, or an actor who played a character named Woody in cowboy films.thedisneyspirit wrote:Why isn't Woody getting his own spinoff movie??
Both ideas are interesting, but I prefer the former. If Buzz is getting his own real-life origin story, so should Woody. It's only fair since they're co-leads and Woody is the heart of the franchise.Rumpelstiltskin wrote:That would only leave two possible concept from my point of view; a "real" Woody that lived in the old West, or an actor who played a character named Woody in cowboy films.
It would no doubt feel more authentic. But the main difference between Buzz and Woody is that Buzz is at home in a science fiction setting, which open up for a lot of possibilities. How many would watch an animated version of a cowboy in the wild West? Pixar would probably have to offer something extra.Sotiris wrote:Both ideas are interesting, but I prefer the former.
