Stuff like the "biig stretch" "is there a dog in here?" is what keeps Pitch Meetings quality high. There are the catchphrases that are fun, of course, and seeing just where those phrases will come up in relation to the film of the week, but it wouldn't be able to coast on that forever. But in every video there's at least 2-3 well-timed takes that fit into the format, but are a standalone good joke to keep the pace up and dynamic. Great stuff.

[@masonlax100]

To those that don’t get it there’s a meme about how you have to say “oooh big stretch” every time a dog wakes up and stretches itself out

[@melgris2732]

@@alethiamillner5603 I didn't think it needed explaining, given the many other comments praising it as a joke, I was merely saying it was one example of a fresh joke in the video format. But: "Biiiig stretch" is something of a meme, that people say to their dogs or cats or babies when they stretch. A lot of people do it, it's an amusing habit lots of people have, so many audience members will relate to the phrase. In this context, a "big stretch" also means to try overly hard to justify why the Zerg calls himself Zerg. I suppose the joke is: given the double meaning, we the audience know that Producer Guy is saying that the Script Writer is stretching to come up with a reason for Zerg to be called Zerg, which is obviously hamfisted and kind of silly, but Script Writer guy thinks Producer is praising a stretching dog that doesn't actually exist, meaning Script Guy is amusingly oblivious to Producer Guy's criticism. So it's a joke with some parts: it's cute/funny/amusingly odd that many people have the habit of praising their dogs when they stretch, it's a double meaning worked well into the flow of banter, and Script Guy looks like an idiot. And unlike "super easy, barely an inconvenience" or "X is tight!", it's not a catchphrase, meaning it's a freshly integrated joke, which keeps the pace of these videos from becoming too predictable by only relying on the same lovable catchphrases to get a laugh.

@@CalvinHikes I watched it yesterday and I completely agree with all of the comments. Lightyear It’s WAY too serious for a movie that a 6 year old Andy would’ve loved.

They added Sox to make the movie a little more kid friendly but it’s not enough.

[@1987MartinT]

I get the feeling that if I'd been in the studio where it was made right before release, I would have given everyone there a stroke by stating what I was hoping for in the movie. "I'm a massive fan of the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon series, so I am ABSOLUTELY expecting this to take place in the same continuity. That show was colourful, action packed, and hilarious. So this should naturally be so as well. The characters on that show are great. It's fine if you use new characters, but Mira, Booster, and XR have to at least cameo. Zurg was equally hilarious and terrifying. So, of course, he'll be like that here as well."

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.

[@AnonymOus-ss9jj]

I don't see how it's nihilistic, just that the morality of going back in time was so questionable (as opposed to definitively wrong) that it was almost like there may as well have been no stakes at all. Sure, from young Buzz's perspective old Buzz was going to wipe out a colony to establish a new one. But the only reason it seems like that was because he interacted with the descendants of the ship. How could you argue that old Buzz is doing anything other than finally finding an undo button after 50 years. It's not like not crash-landing the ship in the first place would have been genocide, and young Buzz doesn't even know how time travel works, let alone if moral obligations go back in time with a person. There certainly was no Evil Emperor Zurg, and that was both a disappointment and a plot hole. I suppose you could argue that getting us to think about such moral dilemmas is the real point of film, but umm... Time travel is impossible, there's no need to think about it. Although my mother said the takeaway was to make the best of the present and move on, rather than get stuck in the past... Or something like that. So it has a real moral, but definitely far from Pixar's best work. Sorry for rambling I guess I had to tell it to someone.

@@AnonymOus-ss9jj It's nihilistic because all Buzz's friends die in the first 20 minutes of the film, leaving him with duty and fidelity to Star Command and the mission as his only remaining reasons to keep living. Over the story, he learns that duty and fidelity are actively evil, and that he himself is evil becase of those virtues, leaving him with nothing at all to live for. The film plays a sleight of hand game by never telling you what Buzz's mission was in the first place, or why it's important. If they told you what the mission was, then Buzz would be the good guy for staying true to the mission, and all his actions would be morally backed by the mission's stakes. The story twists every virtue into vice. It says dilligence is a burden to others. Just accept your miserable circumstances and let everyone stay crashed. It says bravery is selfish. Buzz isn't risking himself for the sake of others, he just wants fame at the expense of others. It says fidelity and loyalty are a pointless distraction. Everyone promised to go on this mission, and Star Command is relying on them, but that's not convenient anymore, so they should all just break their promises and abandon the mission. What happens to everyone back home because of their failure is of no concern for them, and Buzz's loyalty and commitment are just burdens on the rest of the colony. Buzz's character at the start of the movie SHOULD be a model for others to emulate, and they take every opportunity to take a dump on his most virtuous traits.

@@AnonymOus-ss9jj Worst of all is the core message of "It's ok to fail". That's true, but not at all in the way the movie presents it. When you fail, you get back up and try again, which is exactly what Buzz does from the very beginning. He didn't need to learn anything. He was doing the right thing from the start. The movie's real message is "If you fail, give up and stop trying", which is one of the most evil messages you can give.

I don't think people should ignore controversy, but this video is proof that even if the public didn't find it controversial, the story still sucked.

[@stanza77]

@@eugenetswong true the public should have intelligent objective as possible conversation about controversy while being comfortable with others respectfully disagreeing. It shouldn’t take a Pixar movie to make people start arguing. Problem it’s marketed to kids while having seemingly having an agenda

[@ThornForTheWynn]

@@stanza77 THE KISS TOOK HALF A BLOODY SECOND. THAT IS IT. There was nothing other than a tiny moment with a woman kissing a woman, which is exactly the same level as so many other movies meant for kids. Queer representation, ESPECIALLY when it's one tiny kiss, isn't an agenda.

@@ThornForTheWynn as I understand it the film has a clear anti father message from trustworthy sources. It’s not the kiss. Zootopia and Last Jedi have same sex couples they still grossed a billion. It’s banned in 14 countries, those other films aren’t.

The most ironic part about this movie is that fans of the toy story franchise old and new regained their love and respect for the Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command tv series, which is the outcome that Pixar didn't expect

[@matthewdopler8997]

I am surprised that Disney didn’t try to promote the idea of a Buzz Lightyear movie by putting it on Disney+.

[@KhaosAdmiral]

especially because of all of Pixar's attempts to sweep that show under the rug because former head of Pixar, John Lassiter despised it. In all seriousness, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was a profoundly underrated show that had cool action, hilarious comedy, and a fun Sci-Fi universe to explore.
