Tim Allen says Disney would not be making "Toy Story 5" if it was just about the money. The last two films in the franchise grossed $1 billion.

Tim Allen is a conservative piece of shit, this is a grift.

All movies made by companies are about the money

Anything that has a part 5 is a cash grab, what are you even saying?

Roll film:

Narrator Buzz Lightyear, "It was about the money. It was always about the money."

[–] Dagamant 14 points 2 months ago

That is the exact quote people use when it’s 100% a cash grab

Not just about the money, 90% money and 10% brand awareness

[–] Nurse_Robot 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was 10% skill

... Fifty percent increased shareholder value

And a hundred percent reason to remember the Toy Story IP

I still haven’t seen # 4. Probably should

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't a fan. 3 was brilliant, though

[–] Zahille7 10 points 2 months ago

3 should have been the end of the whole thing tbh. It was the perfect send-off imo.

"Toy story 5 is exactly like cocaine"

The last one wasn’t good.

[–] nutsack 1 points 2 months ago

didn't watch it because I'm not a baby

I have been consistently surprised by how good each of the Toy Story films was. I can't think of a way to make 5 after the way 4 ended (unless it has new protagonists) but I expect the folks making the movie to surprise me again.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They were all good films. 4 had a very definitive "end of story, close the book" feel to it. It wrapped everything up nicely. It's going to be very hard not to ruin it but we'll see.

It can be both.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm with Tarantino on Toy Story.

[–] Skullgrid 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You wanna outline the opinion or give a link or something?

Usually you make quality and notable contributions, everything good over there?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

in summary, it is his opinion ( and he is quite vocal about it) that Toy Story 3 provided the perfect ending and he refuses to watch 4 or any future movies in order to not ruin said perfect ending.
