hello i'm dana stevens,
1:06
latest movie critic, and i'm here with another slate,
1:09
spoiler special this week we're going to be be spoiling
1:11
lightyear, the new fifth movie
1:13
in the toy story franchise do we want to call it
1:15
the fifth movie? i don't know, but i will
1:17
decide with my co discussant, sam
1:19
adams a senior editor at slate hey, sam and
1:25
i'm going to get to that in a minute you get into of kind
1:27
of a deep dive on the villain and
1:29
what role he plays in the hole on
1:31
toy story franchise but
1:33
first of all, help
1:35
me with this i mean, no way there's so much to say about this
1:37
movie in a way, they're so little, i
1:39
think we both may be felt similarly about it as a
1:41
movie but before we get started, just tell me, yes,
1:44
or no one lightyear, would you send your friends?
1:46
would you take your kid, did you take your kid that
1:54
question? and no,
1:56
i probably would not it's a hard movie to
1:58
kind of mustard a lot of feelings about not
2:00
exactly sorry i sat through it but
2:02
i don't see any reason why anyone else
2:04
would do that and guess based on the opening
2:06
weekend box us is seems that people are
2:08
generally agree with that
2:10
yeah i guess the box office was really disappointing
2:12
which also may have to do with the fact that this is the first
2:14
i believe theatrical only released from pixar
2:17
since the pandemic right this is them testing the
2:19
waters of well what you have to come into
2:21
the theater and people seem to be thing know
2:23
we'd like are disney pixar at home thank you very
2:25
much yeah i guess i asked about
2:27
your daughter not realizing she was thirteen already
2:29
because i do think my exception to in general not
2:31
liking this movie is that if had small child
2:33
i would take them to it think it's a perfectly sweet
2:35
and well crafted movie it's
2:37
just that the expectations that we
2:39
have of a pixar movie in particularly
2:42
one in this series i
2:44
to me or so much higher than what it was able to fulfill
2:46
so i said my review light year that i find
2:48
it to be saddest pixar movie
2:50
almost from the outside perspective of
2:52
why does it exist in the first place certainly
2:54
not the saddest in terms of subject matter
2:57
necessarily but it left me with a kind of a
2:59
a depressed feeling and i think it was because
3:01
it just really did feel like a piece of ip for
3:03
the first time a in while the
3:05
from from xr right
3:07
pics or has been pretty good at not
3:09
making movies for children that feel
3:12
wrote things that aren't sort of that's
3:14
your thoroughly predicated by
3:16
the idea that like kids gonna go see
3:18
it anyways we don't actually need to make good
3:21
on that sort of made them good anyway this
3:23
one feels like a movie where they started from the premise
3:25
of people gonna get discuss the no matter what they
3:27
did and they raised they
3:29
level of their game accordingly right
3:32
mean movie
3:33
for content goes is not cynical at
3:35
all it's very sweet message and think
3:37
it was yeah they honestly tried to crests it to be
3:40
as good delivery of that message but
3:42
the cynicism comes in with the fact
3:44
that this trilogy that felt perfectly
3:46
complete everyone at toy story three was then
3:48
spun out again for toy story for which liked
3:50
more than some people that which definitely felt like
3:52
they're starting to milk it and you know now
3:54
sort getting into these prequels
3:56
spin off high concept things is just
3:58
starting feel more they like the
4:00
marvel cinematic universe
4:03
they're sort of jokes going around
4:05
or months now right they first announced the movie
4:07
increase evans who voices as light
4:09
your this didn't sort of semi awkward
4:11
treat trying to explain the concept
4:13
the movie thing know will look this isn't actually buzz
4:15
lightyear the toy this is the movie about the human
4:18
that by the toys based on on
4:21
, people into making for that for your and
4:23
half and the actual idea behind it
4:25
is not that hard to understand but i
4:27
think it's underlying and as there's no compelling
4:30
reason for like why this thing exists
4:33
on so explaining at it and plotters is not
4:35
that hard explaining it in an existential sense
4:37
of justifying it is more
4:40
complicated the
4:41
right you want to start off with just title
4:43
card that establishes the premise
4:45
that's when a movie opens with sri title
4:48
cards on that read in nineteen ninety
4:50
five a boy named andy got a buzz lightyear
4:52
toy for his birthday it
4:54
was from his favorite movie this
4:56
is that movie ah so
4:59
basically what we're looking at is
5:02
sort of the franchise spawning
5:04
initial installment of thing
5:06
that if you read an interview the
5:08
director is apparently by the time
5:10
and he was however old
5:12
is an entire story one and
5:14
had already been around for quite awhile and been spun
5:16
off into or various iterations
5:19
but that's where his attachment to this toy comes from
5:21
that's what buzz lightyear by their aisles
5:23
and aisles him in toy stores to begin with
5:25
and this is kind where it all started this
5:28
is live action movie in theory although it's
5:30
also animated which is where we started
5:32
going into like the been pointlessly
5:34
confusing bedouin you're watching animated
5:36
versions of real people and
5:38
not animated versions of
5:40
right it's live action in universe
5:42
is of a universe where it nobody's lycett
5:45
since so that's the of existential
5:47
pit it exists in but as story
5:50
itself mean that all sounds so conceptual that you
5:52
might think that you'd be stepping into some cicadas
5:54
you know mirrored identities in this an ad
5:56
and time travel other isn't time travel it comes
5:58
along but releases of the routine
6:01
and space adventure movie you know and
6:03
what really begins after that
6:05
that title card premise gets laid out is something
6:07
that could one hundred percent just be from as you
6:09
know after school special style him
6:12
helps like as a space
6:14
are you from the eighties or so yeah
6:16
you mentioned in your of you just in passing
6:18
on charlie kaufman's will be synecdoche the york
6:21
army and there's sort of version of the support
6:23
the really whacked out like charlie kaufman
6:25
version of that are like this in for the adaptation
6:28
of buzz lightyear words flipping back and
6:30
forth between universes and conceptual
6:32
frames arm and that's that's not what
6:34
light years at all
6:36
so as what you begins the same we
6:38
have the astronaut of the title being voiced
6:41
by chris evans rather than some
6:43
allen's i think it's it's
6:45
seems like a pretty contiguous character
6:47
but it's sort of hard to displace that care
6:49
different to assure universe of course because
6:51
in the toy story universe he is toy is
6:54
that buzz lightyear as a man has a whole different
6:56
set of conflicts obviously he doesn't have to worry
6:58
about whether not he is a real adventure and
7:00
space he is but instead
7:02
finds himself up against this again
7:04
pretty routine size i problem of being stranded
7:07
on strange planets this is because
7:09
he was so hubris sick and his attempt to
7:11
rescue his team his starship teams
7:14
from this planet that he essentially destroys
7:16
the fuel cell in their spaceship and strands of
7:18
on this pretty inhospitable planet
7:20
where they have to live inside a dome so
7:22
as not to be it's attacked by giant vine
7:24
so he's essentially has a sort the
7:27
survivor's guilt at the beginning you're not quite
7:29
survivor's guilt but the guilt of the as a
7:31
man who messed up
7:32
nation in first place great it's weirdly
7:34
never entirely explain
7:36
but basically the general idea seems
7:38
to be that person is so space rangers are
7:40
kind of the advance guard for interplanetary
7:43
colonization so they have this whole ship
7:45
full of people in deep freeze in their dispersed
7:47
of find habitable worlds
7:49
world they found at the beginning of the movie turns out
7:51
to be uninhabitable so they're just
7:53
trying to get out of there but buds
7:56
being as her paki sly
7:58
boy doesn't listen to his others the
8:00
rangers crashes the
8:02
spaceship and so ali's colonists
8:04
have wake him up and get them to settle
8:06
this rather have an ideal
8:08
planet because they can't leave
8:11
right and the other characters bring up here is is i
8:13
guess you'd call his copilot she seems to be
8:15
his commander although they're pretty close in rank
8:17
right and this is a the character of alicia
8:20
hawthorne voiced by
8:21
though i do that yes so
8:24
those sort of macguffin of macguffin movie
8:26
is if it will hyper speed
8:28
feel that they need to get off the planet the
8:31
used up the last event when they crash the ship
8:33
so they have to let the colonists apps and like rebuild
8:35
society so that they can figure out
8:38
sir rediscover from scratch how
8:40
to build this view on
8:42
, bus they keep making different versions
8:44
of testing different formulas and every time they come
8:46
up with one both needs go out
8:49
into space try to get his post
8:51
he can to hyper speed which is basically
8:53
light speed speed and then come back
8:55
the planet and he discovers after his
8:57
first test first that
8:59
are because if we remember your introductory
9:02
physics as approached the speed of light
9:04
time moves faster on planet and
9:06
slower for him so his one flight
9:08
that's half an hour for
9:11
years have passed on the planet and sorry keeps
9:13
know trying trying different doing different situations
9:16
of this fuel studies very single
9:18
mindedly so the summers when task and meanwhile
9:21
as a c especially through the life
9:23
of his partner i'm people
9:25
live in the lights on this planet see you
9:27
know finds a girlfriend she gets married
9:30
they have they have with answer that
9:32
she is or a grandchild see kinda grows
9:34
old and dies and meanwhile buzzes just
9:37
gonna go around the planet again and again
9:39
gotten enough point six point seven
9:41
point eight lights be been never
9:43
quite get re and
9:44
learn all of that that plan is aging faster
9:46
than he is in sort
9:48
of up sale montage right mean it's and
9:50
has nowhere near for me the emotional power
9:52
of the up montage but it has similar function
9:55
in that you know we we so to see time passing
9:57
in this accelerated way and
9:59
or the the effect on him emotionally
10:01
of watching his whole world slip away from
10:04
him as you mentioned in your writing on this on this would be
10:06
really too bleak to handle especially for children's
10:08
movie if acute mascot were not
10:10
involved with given the cute mascot the one
10:12
that sucks
10:14
i've been can we talk about anything other than sampson
10:16
if you said slavery talk about socks the
10:18
charges really is both the most marketable
10:21
toy and i think probably the
10:23
best concept in the movie which
10:25
doesn't go that far her because it's previous know that
10:27
full of clever concepts but i admit
10:29
that i did like sox particularly his very unusual
10:32
voicing by a non voice
10:34
right by i believe one of the animation directors
10:36
of them as he yeah peterson who are
10:38
work on the good dinosaur among other movies
10:40
in there's a long tradition of this at pixar going
10:43
think all the with at least one way back
10:45
to our heimlich caterpillar in
10:47
a bugs life which is voiced by
10:49
animator joe ramped i think about this you just kind
10:51
of laid down the scratch track
10:53
when they were of to an initial animation with that you
10:55
know what this is really good like let's just keep it
10:58
and since and i'm all animators gonna have
11:00
be actors to a certain extent on
11:02
just they have something to reference when they're drawing the sense
11:04
of pixar has kind a long tradition
11:06
now have just been keeping animators
11:09
voices in movie services and instances
11:11
that peterson gazette i think what is arguably
11:14
the standout performance in the entire movie
11:16
in some mean i'm pretty professional
11:18
actors
11:20
and listen very very minimal lines like
11:22
meow meow meow meow molester saw
11:24
him or making goofy sound effects
11:26
that yeah that is an effective relationship and is something
11:28
that levin said it the bleakness of
11:30
us having to watch buzz outlive all
11:32
of his loved ones as he continues mano
11:35
maniacal he to try to escape the planet
11:37
i feel like that the scripted of in little bit clear
11:39
on to what extent it was just
11:41
purely his monomaniac obsessive
11:43
they got they got them into that trap or to
11:45
what extent he was sort of sacrifice
11:47
he know i mean it's also kind of the choice
11:50
of the rest of the the planetary
11:52
colonists to let him keep on doing these
11:54
rounds that gonna eventually age
11:56
him out of their lives right because we're only
11:59
sort of seeing in order
12:00
to compress this whole thing into as you
12:02
say maybe ten minutes or something we don't really get a sense
12:04
of how the rest of the colony feels
12:06
about this idea that there eventually
12:08
kind of just gonna stay on this planet of they sort of
12:10
put up a big laser shield to
12:12
keep the as dry it bugs
12:14
and century and vines that
12:17
have would otherwise be dragon them off to
12:19
god knows where out and there's yeah
12:21
it was acquainted with all them just decide that those kind
12:24
gonna live their lives this is home now
12:26
are some of them again in keep going up policy
12:28
and four years as we sure want to get off this rock
12:30
on we don't really know whether
12:33
it's working and operated certainly plays out
12:35
in movie like this definite becomes buzzes
12:37
obsession and that sort of the emotional
12:40
core of movie i guess is is the sort fanatical
12:42
devotion to your one
12:45
task the that what he thinks of as is space
12:47
ranger duty his identity vs
12:50
what's actually going on with other people around
12:52
him and that kind of five i
12:54
don't know into actual validity or something as
12:56
is but the movie eventually
12:59
suggested maybe not such a great idea the
13:01
i mean would say to the first half or maybe even almost
13:03
two thirds of the movie that the main antagonist
13:05
is buzz himself the internal conflict
13:07
about him trying to overcome this part of personality
13:10
that won't give up on the mission
13:12
even when the mission doesn't make any sense and in fact
13:14
people have moved on with their lives and
13:16
deaths were pretty interesting conflict for a kids
13:18
movie but it gets i think it's
13:21
not fairly drops in
13:23
favor the more traditional villain
13:25
story and when the heart specter earlier toy story
13:27

15:44
though once we're in well i would
15:46
consider the back half of movie i'm not sure exactly
15:48
what point this isn't the runtime but it's after
15:51
had entire generation of people that buzz
15:53
came up with on the planet is gone right
15:55
and that in fact not only that entire
15:58
generous and passed away
16:00
but his old friend and mentor
16:02
lisa there
16:03
now has a granddaughter is a voice by
16:05
kiki palmer who becomes she's
16:07
trainee and astronaut training who had
16:09
becomes a protege of does in turn
16:11
so simply now set up a second
16:13
set conflicts and here's where wanted to get into your
16:15
investigation of characters derg voiced
16:17
by josh brolin here who
16:19
has a genealogy in the toy story
16:21
world and is being used in different
16:24
way here and i thought was really the
16:26
least effective part of movie nothing to do with josh
16:28
brolin voice characterization but just
16:30
it's this kind of eleventh
16:32
hour entry of this robot villain
16:35
to me was a moment that the movie felt very
16:37
wrote in like it didn't know it was trying say
16:39
boy yeah i agree with that so this whole thread
16:41
second final section of movie
16:43
takes place was finally
16:45
gets his lightspeed fuel get
16:47
all way up to fully lightspeed
16:49
hooray by me comes back this i'm twenty
16:52
two years have passed on
16:54
me and into bit of or to planet
16:56
of the apes scenario where now this
16:58
in a one human outpost his
17:00
family cover by a laser shield that seems to be under
17:03
perpetual attacked by these army
17:05
of robots and commanded by this
17:07
figure named deserved the only
17:09
humans outside the shield really the only people
17:11
we see or this kind of the patrol
17:13
of misfits i want the
17:15
meaning is he he mentioned voice i can see palmer
17:18
on another another voice by take away
17:20
td and we find out that these robots
17:22
are all in the command deserves who is kind of buzzes
17:25
historical nemesis from the toy story
17:27
movies in his movies is basically
17:29
a many basically darth vader to begin rebel
17:31
though they don't really eat it ,
17:33
not character with whole lot of integrity
17:35
or continuity from one will be to the next week nobody
17:37
really cares it's a twice and toy can be anything
17:40
but the kid playing with him wants to be that
17:42
time but he's you know that the bad
17:44
guy he has big deep voice on
17:46
he says some sort of evil galactic
17:49
emperor wants to
17:51
rob universe fight buzz all
17:54
that yada that yada yada the spaces the bad
17:56
guys have to be in this movie there's a little
17:58
bit of a sort of half
18:00
hearted explanation as they
18:02
call the robots deserved because that's
18:04
the only noise they make that ,
18:07
and clear this guy's name is served
18:09
why they just accidently called robots
18:11
the same face for something that seems like
18:14
zombie rebuild like of couple in our draft
18:16
two from being fully hit like there's
18:18
some things to feel quite an ass
18:21
the like this least acts and land of the last
18:23
right there have they were called to the only
18:25
sound they do how to make i mean i think reason
18:27
i i wanted to hear you on zurich is just
18:29
as it like it was a moment of almost i
18:31
don't know what i want to call it like this like
18:33
this dishonesty or ip dishonesty
18:36
or something the moment that this character
18:38
observed as say really just this jokey
18:40
antagonists he was kind of invented to
18:42
to poke fun at the world of boring
18:45
group like antagonists and in kid
18:47
side six in movies and toys cetera
18:49
rights becomes disfigure
18:52
that supposed to that may
18:54
to and relate to buy this relationship to
18:56
him and you mentioned in passing that this
18:58
is it is a toss away line one of to during
19:00
the reserves as i am your father right
19:03
in a in kind of darth vader star wars
19:05
reference piglet movie actually kind of
19:07
take that seriously and the twists turns out
19:09
to be since we're doing is fully special that
19:11
zurich is not as his father but if understood
19:13
this correctly a sword as
19:15
projection of buzzes future
19:18
self or like bus from an
19:20
alternate future reality explain what's going
19:22
on when suddenly you know there's an even
19:24
later than the eleventh hour eleven and half
19:26
hour confrontation between buzz
19:28
and his older self from the future they'll
19:31
offer they're they're not cut ways to
19:33
just the head or this big
19:35
robot villain that eventually you
19:37
know you start to think of guinness isn't clue this
19:39
isn't robot like this is a suit like somebody
19:41
is gonna be in there at some point big i figured
19:44
out that much did not figure out
19:46
that jumping up almost the way to dinner
19:48
the movie that when the zoo finally opens up
19:50
ah , will come out is basically this old
19:53
sort of cranky embittered version
19:55
of bus himself have voiced
19:57
by james brolin i'm in the
19:59
movie and this those who it's
20:01
sort of semi explain but not really
20:03
like isn't an older version of
20:05
the spurs bird different bugs
20:08
that somehow older like there's lot
20:10
of hand waving going on here
20:12
maybe there's a butterfly effect sort of says
20:14
his suggestion that if is buzz had made different
20:16
choices as the person he would turn out to be
20:19
on
20:19
looked around to see if somebody else did sort
20:21
of like reddit deep dive on earth and explained
20:23
it and was missing something the
20:25
kind explains it the with it really doesn't
20:28
seem like they do it it just kind seems
20:30
again this is one of those moments where it's like
20:32
well good enough kids and i
20:34
really need to explain it but the opposite
20:36
basically a boss who sort of completed his
20:38
mission but the collison
20:40
while the become you just increasingly
20:42
embittered by being stuck on this
20:44
planet be not planet able to go out and range
20:47
among stars as space raiders meant to
20:49
do and so eventually kind
20:51
of just keeps going back out in space by
20:53
himself against getting more and getting
20:55
sort of the equivalent cabin fever
20:58
just be out them space for use
21:00
by in southern eventually sky goes nuts
21:02
because foreign up in future that
21:05
they have discovered how to kind of harness
21:07
the time travel with fact that this lightspeed
21:09
fuel allows them to do and so he has
21:11
gone back from the future to this kind mid
21:13
point where he met up with this other busby know
21:15
it's out of your and needs more fuel
21:17
to go all the way back to beginning of the movies
21:20
and basically stop the
21:22
ship from crash into the they never get marooned
21:24
on the planet in first place and bugs
21:26
can go back doing what is meant to do which is not
21:28
sort of basically to be kind
21:30
of like you know the cool middle age do
21:33
like going from one planet the next never having
21:35
settle down or but you know deal with a real
21:37
responsibility like that sort of the the
21:39
not of this rag just bugs never wants to
21:41
the rock he just wants to and a perpetually be
21:44
a vagabond i guess in our
21:46
a drifter right in
21:47
where ends up being his salvation which could
21:50
have been when i think of a kind of cool ecological
21:52
metaphor but is not at all used that way
21:54
is that he has his except as he
21:56
has a except the crash landed
21:58
life on the planet under a dome
22:00
fighting vines whatever their lot
22:02
has turned out to be and i
22:05
think the movie ends up sort of being an argument on
22:07
behalf of you know there's no place like
22:09
home even if his home is a dome
22:11
under strange remote stranded planet with
22:13
giant blinds
22:14
right well yes look the fact that
22:17
you know it's okay so yes they could
22:19
go back in time and change
22:21
the timeline you know spaceship
22:23
gets out the planet grade everyone is happy
22:25
and they go after com as and presumably better world
22:28
but that happens you know maybe
22:30
his partner alicia doesn't
22:32
meet her partner maybe she doesn't get married
22:34
and have and son and maybe that's and doesn't have his he
22:36
and all the people in this
22:39
you know president of the second half unlimited
22:41
made a big they'd all have lives that they've
22:43
had those i'll get wiped out and true nobody's
22:45
ever going to know because the time will have been changed but
22:47
he is he searched the feel that
22:49
it you know it's not just about him is not just about
22:51
his mission it's about the lives of others people leave
22:53
and it's not his ah
22:55
place to go and his wife those out because
22:58
of some the an american workers that
23:00
thought the two years in the past or
23:02
wherever we are at this point
23:04
sorry i could get an accurate summary of where
23:06
the movie puts him at the and whether or not as
23:08
a satisfying or even quite sensible
23:11
way through the movie to and is another question which i
23:13
think we should address that first i mean take break
23:15
for another quick married from our sponsor this week
23:19

25:06
email and the as com first
25:08
prize ideas for twenty six and us on
25:10
the south com slash paid for
25:14
when we lay it out way that we're talking about it it seems
25:16
like this movie is full of meaningful ethical
25:19
quandaries and you know self
25:21
discovery and sort of moments of
25:23
real progress for characters but while watching
25:25
the movie i felt that all the emotional beats is
25:27
hitting were very pat and i'm just
25:29
wondering if you feel like me that this movie didn't knowledge
25:31
is not quite sick the lending i just really
25:33
don't know other then again you know
25:36
the
25:36
a retread arsenal your ip and have couple
25:38
need you characters no it is movie
25:40
was trying to to say right
25:43
yeah for me was really distinguish the pixar
25:45
movie airing they they came into being as as
25:47
vienna one of the first serve digital animation
25:50
companies of people often think of them in
25:52
technical terms of or me what really
25:54
distinguishes or movie is the sort story
25:56
factory that comes out of and they really
25:59
work through their emotional beats
26:01
and think in that sort of later years
26:03
picture like almost to a fault like starts
26:05
to get a little bit mechanistic like how
26:07
clearly you can see them like establishing
26:10
steaks the beginning with answers part where they
26:12
get raises an arm and it's little bit
26:14
like watching in of said field given screenwriting
26:16
a seminar but with cartoons
26:19
so this case either you to see that really
26:21
happening very nakedly in this movie there's one
26:23
point where they get on the characters
26:25
could kind of like stuck in as moon base
26:28
something amazing set off an alarm for there are trapped
26:30
in these little cones of lights
26:32
and then that i've heard of imprison them all separately
26:35
but then they realize when they bump into each
26:37
other the comes combine them and two people
26:39
stuck in one tone instead two separate towns
26:41
to for throughout trying you know not
26:43
to do that there's some you know oh
26:46
comedy evolved them all almost everyone
26:48
ended up in same coded by the so off by himself
26:50
and then they realize that in order to like
26:52
sorts of the wiring so they get it out the actually
26:55
all have to be in the same cone
26:57
and you know use other way together to do
26:59
it and is just such an obvious
27:02
representation of my duty to work as a team
27:04
you can't be individuals special
27:07
effects that works up to a point and then either
27:09
to this weird part with deserves at the end
27:11
which is sort of about rule following
27:14
and inflexibility and additive
27:17
the rear versus other
27:20
where's evaluating the worth of life
27:22
and it's just like who that
27:24
kid gears about this what run
27:26
it is not working like thought the robbers
27:28
like just don't understand what's going
27:30
on that point yeah what
27:32
he cares about this seem like a real
27:34
emergent question throughout the entire movie the
27:37
even if you somebody thinks the toy story for
27:39
know it really doesn't belong is normally in series
27:42
personally it it went long way for me because
27:44
of forty biggest assistant adorable character
27:46
and i still felt that that movie well up perfect had
27:48
the spirit of the toy story films this
27:50
one really departs in that spirit and if you kind of want
27:52
to encapsulate the charm of
27:54
the series in the first place in was made this twenty
27:57
seven year old now franchise be
27:59
enough important in multiple generations
28:01
including the know some little kids that were in that the
28:03
screening i was that you were obviously while they're
28:05
toy story characters and more well
28:08
is it it was about childhood you know had very common
28:10
in very simple theme running through all the movies
28:12
in that it was about childhood imagination
28:15
in the relationship of child to his toys
28:18
and the idea that that could be a reciprocal
28:20
relationship right this simple that
28:22
really rich and profound idea that got explored
28:24
in different ways through those for movies and
28:27
now the conceit of there being toy
28:29
universe or hate and they're being
28:31
a child toy relationship at heart of the movie is
28:33
gone and this is just supposed be
28:36
whatever to hurt movie inspired
28:38
the toy in first place it
28:40
seems like the series has really
28:42
lost it's way right i just feel like little
28:44
bit what should we make movie about a toxic
28:46
masculinity why not i
28:48
yeah you don't to all these all these struggles perfectly
28:51
legitimate things for a movie be
28:53
about at some point but why this movie
28:55
for this audience exactly exactly who
28:57
is that hypothetical child who's going to be really
29:00
concerned about personal eight years sort
29:02
of career vs family you
29:04
know struggles as he as he skips
29:06
through time i mean think that's all
29:08
i've got and i feel like i'm b like mean the way being unnecessarily
29:11
harsh because again if you're the parent parent little
29:13
kid there are far worse things you could do with
29:15
your sunday saturday afternoon then take your kid
29:17
to see this movie there's nothing objectionable
29:19
nothing it you know it's nicely done it's got some
29:21
sweet performances and characters
29:24
and yeah it's a fine kids movie i
29:26
think part of me just can't help but be
29:28
little sad that that's all pixar wanted
29:30
to be
29:31
well and i think people have been you know fairly
29:33
pointing out that over the last two
29:35
years mean disney has really been
29:37
i'm sort of downgrading most of the pixar
29:39
movies and sending them all direct a streaming with
29:41
all the disney movies end up at theaters and
29:44
uncles were really good movie is like turning
29:46
red most recently or soil
29:48
which end up you know why did one of the oscar and
29:50
this that this is the pixar movie that they choose to
29:52
go back to theaters with that it just
29:54
really feels like regressive
29:56
and a lot of hanky ways
29:59
you know that this the want get treated like a proper
30:01
movies where actually has so much less
30:03
going on than a lot of the ones that sensory
30:05
to streaming and this is the one that feels like he
30:08
this of this directive video movie back the
30:10
seasons in a vhs and dvd
30:12
think it would have seemed perfectly fine for that
30:14
it just doesn't really belong a movie theater
30:17
yeah it's a little bit one those those slightly
30:19
related spin off that might turned precisely
30:22
into it into straight to video in the old days
30:24
all right well let's say spit spit yet again and
30:26
milk out toy story six which is
30:28
essentially what the next iteration would have to be
