OK, what if…and hear me out on this…matter had feelings?
Lightyear was a critical flop?
People with a steam fetish have never been more excited.
Relative to other Pixar films, yes. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a “certified fresh” rating of 74%, which sounds good but still makes it the 23rd-best reviewed Pixar film, just behind The Good Dinosaur.
That doesn’t make it a critical flop though, and this film was a commercial flop even outside the lens of relative to other Pixar films. It’s just a weird way to frame it, especially when it was a film targeted as proof of “go woke go broke.”
So did they get the rights to They Might Be Giants’ “Meet the Elements” for the theme?
Spoiler: the star-crossed lovers eventually have a child together named Luke.
Luke Warm.
How is this a ‘follow up’ to Lightyear, it has nothing to do with it?
I actually thought Lightyear was a great movie on it’s own, as an animated movie. It was just no where near being the ‘actual movie Andy saw’ however.
I like cartoons!
“Civilization Is Shocked!” WTF
(It’s a Danish production. Perhaps an example of the problems that can be encountered with direct translations?)
I would have thought Tears for Fear’s Elemental.
(Which would actually make a pretty good action sequence song)
Wise words. I also like cartoons.
Elementals in love?
