Lightyear (Pixar, 2022)

It really is odd, are there any plans for a similar treatment of Woody's Roundup?

I'd watch this. They could also do a remake of Cowboys And Aliens while they're at it.

Buzz Lightyear has hair 

I disagree. It’s a novel approach to extending the franchise which came to an end. Puts a twist on it & makes it interesting to both an existing and new audience without detracting from the original movies.

And they absolutely should do a Disney+ TV series of “Woodys Roundup”. Amazed they haven’t to be honest.

I'm sceptical of him only having one word in the trailer.

Presumably they don't want anyone to know its not Tim Allen doing the voice

I have boycotted any Toy Story related film since the job shaming joke in Toy Story 4. They included Sid in the film working as a garbage truck man. I think they made him be a garbage truck man because he was a villian in the first film and wanted to degrade the character. There is a strong job shaming culture in America, another example I seen was in Frasier when Roz dumped her boyfriend because he was a garbage truck man.

Also, i was watching a video recently which examined how there were many hidden adult themes in Toy Story 1. For example Woody jerking the microphone and the microphones eyes rolling. This doesn't sit easy with me, it is quite messed up for all those hidden sex references to be in a children's film. I think there is a lot of that in Disney movies but I haven't researched them yet.

Just because someone made those interpretational connections doesn't necessarily mean they were at all in the minds of the creators... For instance Woody has always been seen as a reference to Woody Strode, the actor famous for Westerns, while Buzz was always seen as a reference to Buzz Aldrin for obvious reasons.

"There's a snake in my boot", also long predates Toy Story as a western/cowboy term, was apparently a way of saying something felt wrong, like a sense of foreboding. And apparently was even used as an equivalent to the way we talk about 'the fear' after drinking. (and also just the very literal and rational fear of, y'know, being out in the wilderness and finding a snake in your boot...)

Dude, you’re doing yourself a disservice

Toy Story 6 is the super rare “Godfather 2 of animation”.

A sequel so good it surpasses the original.

I was kind-of shocked by the “hooker” joke in the first Toy Story movie. But I would never have seen it without it being pointed out. It’s normal to have some adult jokes in animation. Monsters vs. Aliens is full of them.

ewe 😁

Saw this earlier and it starts off really well, for the first half hour or so it's a cracking film. But it just loses momentum after that and I found my attention drifting and by the end I'd kind of checked out. It's a shame because like I said it starts off so well and there was real potential for something special here. After the success of Top Gun Maverick I think disney will need to reconsider their "Woke" approach, its not working. People know instinctively when they're being lectured to and told what they should like and dislike and that expression "Go woke, go broke" has some validity to it. Anyway its an Ok film all in all but it could've been a lot better.
