Toy Story’s director had some problems with the way Lightyear went down. In a new report from Puck, John Lasseter is reportedly very critical of the Angus Maclane’s effort this year. It’s not a surprise that the film hasn’t performed at the box office for Disney like they’d hoped. A lot of the media push behind Lightyear just wasn’t there. (Other moves inside of the company have also been pointed toward when discussing the animation results for the past year. As of now, Bob Iger is back in the big chair after Bob Chapek’s tenure for the early pandemic.) But, Lasseter feels a sort of ownership over the Pixar series he helped get off the ground. So, to not have any involvement and not attach Tom Hanks or Tim Allen must have hurt a bit. He’s got his own projects to worry about after his tumultuous exit from Disney and new job with Skydance.
