After three incredible Toy Story movies wrapped up a touching story started all the way back in 1995, Pixar and Disney decided it was best to leave the franchise alone after such a great accomplishment. Oh, except then they made a fourth one. And now they made a spin-off. But other than that - just a great trilogy left untarnished by corporate greed!

Lightyear raises a lot of questions. Like what is this movie exactly? Was this really meant to represent an action movie that came out in the mid 90s? Why did Buzz land the entire colony onto a planet instead of sending a scout to see if it was habitable? Why did we never see a Sox the Cat toy in the Toy Story universe? Didn’t Toy Story 2 establish that Zurg was Buzz’s father and not… himself but from the future? Why is this a completely different version of Buzz than the character people know and love?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Lightyear! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    Time to gather round, once again, to watch a Pitch Meeting for a movie we're never going to see.
  • @gxmbxnx
    That "Big stretch buddy!" felt like one of the most aggressive callouts I've ever seen Producer Guy throw at Screenwriter Guy. This is huge for the canon.
  • @collinhauger5018
    From Andy's perspective, this movie had cgi that significantly surpassed his own reality in realism. Must have been a trip.
  • @eyalelron4128
    The part where screenwriter guy says "The friends he made along the way" and the producer guy's respond was pure gold!
  • @evergreen8600
    These pitch meetings have officially become my way of watching movies I don’t feel like seeing in theaters and I’m never disappointed
  • @Ciborium
    "Get that fun outta here!" is also Disney's Producer's philosophy
  • @jabarak1
    Pretty funny how how Andy's favorite movie is rendered in way more realistic graphics than Andy's world.
  • What's funny is, there was a cartoon called Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command, and it was fun! They already did the "make the Buzz Lightyear that Andy watched" plot before, and it didn't suck... so why'd they turn around years later and make one that sure sounds like it does suck?
  • He really did a “the friends we made along the way” joke. Never expected it.
  • @Jaxymann
    "We can do whatever we want sir, as long as long as it's derivative of intellectual property with a proven track record of financial success" is a terrifyingly accurate illustration of Hollywood's obsession with sequels, remakes and reboots.
  • I watched this at the cinema today. Half way through literally all I could think about was what the Pitch Meeting would be like...
  • My theory is what we see in the light year movie is actually the live-action remake of the movie that Andy saw
  • @Booila
    ‘Didn’t we already establish that in Toy Story 2, Zurg was Buzz’s father?” Exactly what I was thinking when I saw that scene!
  • I think it's telling of the state of movies that people get more joy put of watching a critique of the movie than out of the actual movie itself
  • @Strill_
    When I heard about this movie, I thought "cool, a pulpy Flash Gordon adventure sounds like a great time". Then I heard that it bombed at the box office and was confused. Then I watched this video and was disgusted by what a depressing, cynical, nihilistic plot they managed to come up with.
  • @HelioPopTart
    The fact Ryan did the puke reflex was on point, that was my key highlight of this meeting. 10/10
  • I love how most of us are watching this knowing that we aren’t actually going to see this movie because why would we?
  • Ryan quickly saying "hey shut up" never fails to make me laugh
  • I want to know how one character has an Australian accent after 2 generations have passed and nobody else in the tiny space colony he grew up in has said accent.
