Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Doctor addresses Lightyear’s failure at the box office and explains why the movie didn’t find an audience.
Eight months after Lightyear underperformed at the box office, Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Doctor addresses what went wrong with the movie. Serving as something of an origin story for Buzz Lightyear, who was first introduced in 1995's Toy Story, Lightyear follows Buzz, this time voiced by Chris Evans, as he attempts to escape a planet filled with hostile robots.
“We’ve done a lot of soul-searching about that because we all love the movie. We love the characters and the premise. I think probably what we’ve ended on in terms of what went wrong is that we asked too much of the audience. When they hear Buzz, they’re like, great, where’s Mr. Potato Head and Woody and Rex? And then we drop them into this science fiction film that they’re like, 'What?’
