Pixar exec reveals 'what went wrong' with Lightyear.
Last year Disney-Pixar released a surprising movie, Lightyear, a spin-off of the Toy Story franchise that...took a lot of explaining to make it make sense. The movie wasn't a Toy Story 5 and it wasn't a Toy Story prequel, it was a movie that the Buzz Lightyear toy was based on, as in a movie within the movies. This angle for the movie seemed to be very confusing for some audience members, perhaps leading in part to the film not really meeting box office expectations.
Speaking with TheWrap in a new interview, Pixar CCO Pete Docter was asked about the film not meeting their expectations, revealing that the team at the animation studio has been interrogating it internally."We've done a lot of soul-searching about that because we all love the movie. We love the characters and the premise. I think probably what we've ended on in terms of what went wrong is that we asked too much of the audience.
He continues,"Even if they've read the material in press, it was just a little too distant, both in concept, and I think in the way that characters were drawn, that they were portrayed. It was much more of a science fiction. And Angus , to his credit, took it very seriously and genuinely and wanted to represent those characters as real characters.
