Toy Story 4 cancelled TS3 out and now TS5 is going to cancel that out. I know many sequels for different movies, people say “It needs to end” but this franchise is the one that needs to end, no nostalgia ruins and biased cause I’m older. The constant additions just make no sense really.

Tim's movies that people love are The Santa Clause, the Toy Story movies and Galaxy Quest, and rightfully so, I like those movies too, but here are some of Tim's lesser liked movies that I didn't mind. Santa Clause 2 and 3, Jungle 2 Jungle, Joe Somebody, Christmas with the Kranks, The Shaggy Dog and Wild Hogs. Does anyone else like any of these?

[@outright4697]

But the thing is what is Toy Story 5 going to be about woody and buzz split apart from each other in Toy Story 4 at the end which imo was a terrible ending so I hope in Toy Story 5 everybody somehow reunites because why the heck would woody and buzz split apart they are best buds and woody just left everyone

[@happysmileylips]

@@outright4697 you are thinking just like me! I really disliked the ending because it went against everything we know Woody and Buzz to be. His character is not to abandon his gang including Bonny! And I have thought about it... What would Toy story 5 even be about and at the same time I want a Toy story 5 because they need to fix what was broken. Haha. Also, I didn't really care for Forky. That was a weird inclusion. What do you think?

[@outright4697]

@@happysmileylips I mean quite frankly I just want to see woody and buzz back that ending was terrible for Toy Story 4 they are supposed to stick together to infinity and beyond but no woody just left the gang I want woody to somehow get back with buzz and the gang in Toy Story 5 and have a good ending but imo I feel like Toy Story 3 should have been it that ending was perfect for Toy Story as a whole

[@heathers.9740]

​@outright4697 woody parted with the gang because he knew Andy grew up, he missed Bo, and he trusted Buzz enough to take care of the gang without him. It was an unusual ending the for the series of movies, but it also showed audiences that sometimes that's how life goes and its acceptable. So long doesn't have to mean goodbye forever. Especially in the disney/Pixar universe!

If they gotten an original writer to do Toy Story 5??? We might see Woody and the gang return back to Andy... But with Andy's kids. But hey... It's my generation's dream who grew up with the original trilogy. Toy Story 3 got me with my emotions. Especially when Woody said "so long partner." It was like a bittersweet goodbye to my favorite childhood characters 😭

Still don’t get why they didn’t use him in the Lightyear movie when you think of Buzz you think Tim Allen. 🤔

[@stephen1896]

@@travisstoneking4049 It made a lot of sense from a story standpoint. The voice of a toy isn't always the 'star' of the film. Lightyear was about the character of Buzz Lightyear within that world, but the toy was a different character. Even though we were introduced to Tim's Buzz, it's not out of nowhere that if that world had their version of a 'Star Wars' kind of film, they would hire someone they wanted to do the film, not the toy voice artist.

[@JHero]

Tim Allen may be an actor, but he’s also a businessman at heart, I’m sure when Disney reaches out to him for a project, he doesn’t get on his knees and says yes immediately, I’m sure he doesn’t hesitate to discuss/negotiate the project to see if he’s interested in it or not. Not many actors have the reputation that some like Tim Allen and others alike have, so if Tim Allen says no to a Disney pitch, they’ll respect it but they won’t turn their backs on him because again, Disney and actors like Tim already have that mutual respect, friendship, and history between them, if one project doesn’t work, there will be another one for actors like Tim and himself :)

[@01keyboard]

@@JHero couldn't have said it better myself or agree more 👍

[@marimullan4012]

Disney gave him his start in television why would he turn his back on them? He is smarter than to let politics interfere with his career. Amazing that people with low intelligence think that because they disagree with somebody, they can change that person. This country used to be united as a country. Sad that one cowardly depraved man who refused to fight for his country has torn that apart. History is reporting itself because of uneducated people.
