Lightyear, the latest piece of child grooming media from the predators at the Walt Disney Co., is looking like a box office catastrophe, which is only a surprise to those who don’t live in the real world.
Gee, what do you think will happen when you add some high-profile homosexuality to a kiddie movie? I’ll tell you what happens… The latest chapter of the most iconic and beloved animated franchise of all time not only crash lands with a pathetic $51 to $55 million opening, it comes in second place behind the second weekend of Jurassic World Dominion.
Good job, Disney. Well done. Allow me to caveat that these numbers could still change, but over at the far-left Deadline

I posted weeks ago this was going to bomb. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that the general public and parents don't want LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+ thrown in their face on a children's cartoon.

I was considering possibly going to this one, until I heard about the homo stuff. That decided it.
Hard "No".

I was a solid no on this one as soon as I heard they replaced Tim Allen for Buzz's voice because he was so "toxic."

Toy Story came out in 1995 .... 27 years ago.
Can't they come up with any original ideas rather than just one brainless, inferior sequel after another?
This makes the 4th sequel of the original, so they thought ''hey, we can just add some gayness'' and it won't be stale and boring. The entire premise of the original was showing old toys from the fifties, sixties, and seventies that come to life; parents enjoy the nostalgia and memories from their childhood while the kids get to enjoy the antics of the living toys. Sorry to disappoint liberals, but back then there would have been no woman Space Rangers. The entire concept of a black woman lesbian Space Ranger is completely alien to the time period. The toys shown are from pre-internet, cell phone, video game era [Ex. Mr. Potato Head, Cowboy, Astronaut, slinky dog, piggie bank, little Bo Peep, little green Army Men] so they are trying to force the current ''woke'' foolishness onto an era when it was unknown. It doesn't work.

Disney is dead to me. To be honest, I sensed a change a few years ago. They made a big effort in their advertising to say that we loving grandparents should take our grandchildren to DW for good fleecing. By then I was fed up after they buried “Song of the South” and we never fell for their pitch. I will never buy another Disney product for the rest of my life and happily urge others to do the same. Trying to proselytize children to celebrate homosexuality was the final straw.

that's alright, they'll keep on spending Walt's money and making lousy product but as long as the minority LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ people are placated and happy, risking their lives in steam baths and penetrating, group interactive activities, the world is a very close and sweaty place to be ... in & out, in & out, in & out etc

Just looking at the pictures told me this movie was going to be a barfathon to watch! Good job of using Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot’s likeness for the black lezzie character (Lightfoot/Lightyear; coincidence?)

Normally this is where I would say “this is how we learn”. But the woke left never learns. And one of the reasons we will win.

It was too late to do anything other than a Diaper Joe bike face plant. Production and all was near completion when the most obvious poll in the world said this would be a disaster. All one had to do was watch a little news to notice parents were not putting up with this indoctrination at their schools. School board meetings, school board recalls, general elections were screaming parents' had had enough. But Disney apparently decided to suck it up and lick its wounds and insult parents once again.

I'd bet that when Tim Allen saw the new treatment/script he withdrew from the project. That's why they had to replace him as Buzz Lightyear. This could be the first time in history that a rodent set his own mouse trap.

My guess is they did not cut Tim Allen from the film. He refused to take the part after seeing the script.

It's a pleasure just to read that Disney is sinking in its own damaged ship. Still, they sucked in enough parents to spend $55 million. Is it worth exposing their kids to this trash just to get them out of the house for a few hours? I predict big discount days at the theme parks over the next year as the corporation goes under.

We noticed that Disney was going woke a couple of decades before that word became a thing. Back then it was “political correctness” and it was the lyrics to the theme song of “Pocahontas” in 1995 that started our boycott. We heard the song on the radio and listened to the lyrics. They were anti-American and anti-white. Our daughter was five years old at the time and we refused to let her see the movie. Our boycott is ongoing now with our grandchildren - nothing Disney. Ever.

My family and I are going to see Top Gun Maverick. I've seen it - it's great - but they haven't. I predict everyone will love it. I bailed on Lightyear when they didn't give the role to Tim Allen. Sorry, Disney but Tim IS Bud Lightyear.
Also, have you noticed that John Ratzenberger who has been in every Pixar movie ever made has not been in the last bunch? He is quite conservative. Coincidence - I think not!

Disney has forgotten that they are not the gatekeepers. Parents are the gatekeepers. If parents make the decisions to exclude LGTB+ from their children's lives, there is nothing Disney can do about it. Apparently, another LGTB+ movie is premiering in November for the Christmas season, so parents beware.

This is so sad. I was an annual Disneyland pass holder for over 20 years. I loved the atmosphere and took so many family and friends every year. Spent many evenings at Club 33 and loved the evening fireworks. But Disney is now dead to me. What has happened to them is so anti American family values. They have been taken over by pedophiles, trannies, groomers, wokeness, and pure evil. This used to be the place you could go to escape the craziness of the world. It is now the epitome of the evil that exists. The only was this will be changed is for a complete turnover of senior management and a purging of the woke employees (just like what Musk did with the crazy Space x Employees). A true house cleaning is the only way to save this once gret company. Walt would be so disgusted!

Disney will be the topic of many a biz school study at some future time.
Something like, "How to Convert a Billion Dollar Money Machine into a Million Dollar Pariah".

Trying to watch US Open Golf on Peacock streaming. Peacock promoting at least three shows with "drag queens" and more with homosexual couples.
I don't know why there isn't more pushback from the "normal" gay people on the outrageously provocative drag queen image of gay men. There should also be pushback from "normal" woman offended by the overly sexual appropriation of female sex body characteristics.

Speaking of Buzz Lightyear who saw Biden eat the cement when he fell off his beachrider bike? That was hilarious. I hope Disney's gamble on the woke agenda can make their profits off the gay crowd because people aren't flocking to Disney any longer.

The old saw in Hollywood is a movie needs to make at least three times its budget to break even. This movie cost over $200 million, but it only opened to about $50 million - give or take a few. It has horrible word of mouth, so it's going to drop sharply next weekend and won't have legs. It's not playing in a number of countries and it won't be popular in a lot of the ones where it is playing, so foreign box office isn't going to save it. But Disney and the movie press will continue to claim these are great numbers and try to spin it as a hit.

We bought a new Chromecast device for our TV and Disney+ came with a free trial. Just before the free trial expired, we cancelled Disney+. We vote with our dollars.

The gay agenda combined with the fact Tim Allen isn't voicing such an iconic character anymore was two blows that should sink this stinker. The cherry on top will be that it is banned in their biggest foreign markets because they don't like the gay agenda either.
Chris Evans is one of the biggest jerks and whiny wokester that has come out of Hollywood in a long time. Calling parents hateful dinosaurs and hoping we die off pretty much seals his fate as a loathsome little whiner. Dumping Tom Brady because he fretted that Brady's friendship with Trump could somehow reflect on him ended my liking him in most anything anymore.
