Tim Allen talked about his views on " The True Story of Light Year ". He believes that this work has nothing to do with " Toy Story ", and "The True Story of Light Year" does not continue Disney's classic animation. The creative concept of the film. "THR" film critic Gavsky believes that Tim Allen's creative concept is somewhat outdated. The spin-off series must conform to the framework of the feature film. This creative concept is outdated. Theoretically, "Obi-Wan" is also a spin-off of "Star Wars", but the two works have no connection, and the content spans a lot. It can be seen that Disney likes to adopt novel creative concepts, and Tim Allen uses old-fashioned concepts to evaluate new era film works. Gavsky feels that this method is not appropriate. The film critic hopes that Disney will continue to develop spin-offs of "Toy Story", and he hopes that "Gopher" will also be filmed as a stand-alone movie or series.
Gavsky explained his point of view: "The Shepherdess" has great potential. Although Shepherdess plays a lot of roles in "Toy Story" and Disney also released the short series "The Adventures of Shepherdess", in Gavsky's view, derivative works of this character have never reflected the essence. It is precisely because of the great potential of this side story that Pixar animation studio has not found an effective breakthrough to create a derivative work with novel concepts. Gavsky believes that the penetration of 4D technology into animated films also requires Pixar to innovate in terms of content rather than focusing on visual effects. In the past, the advantage of this working group was the visual effects. With the development of film production technology, some individual studios and even amateurs can produce impactful visual effects. Pixar can only work hard on content, such as "The Shepherdess" potential can be revealed.
As a voice actor in "The Legend of Light Years", Tim Allen understands the creative layout of this film, but he uses his personal point of view to explain the creative concept of the work, so that he can only show his old-fashioned thinking. Gavsky admitted that Tim Allen's ideas have some truth, but his ideas need to be observed in the last century. After all, "Toy Story" was the animated film that became popular in the last century, and Disney's previous works were obviously of high quality. At present. "The Legend of Lightyear" is Buzz Lightyear's solo film. Tim Allen feels that the storyline is completely different from the main film. This doesn't matter, but the attributes and colors of the characters are also completely different, and even the image changes are also very different. It is quite different from the legendary spin-off series, and an actor with a traditional style like Tim Allen naturally cannot accept it.
It was previously reported that Tim Allen is also one of the creators of "The Legend of Lightyear" and the voice actor of "The Little Mermaid". He also participated in the creation of this series. This is also a way for Disney to save production costs. Tim Allen clarified that he was just a voice actor and had not made a single change to the script. Moreover, before Tim Allen signed a contract with Disney, "Lightyear" had been finalized and the pornographic films had been released. This is also a traditional and even old-fashioned style, so Gavsky said that Tim Allen's creative concept is a bit old-fashioned. This is also because when Pixar produced "Lightyear", the working group wanted to take a traditional route. Unfortunately, the content is relatively new and the jumping nature is very strong. The inconsistency between the two parties makes everyone look a little strange.
If the creative route continues to be old-fashioned, it will be okay, but I am afraid that the content will have something new and the publicity strategy will be too old-fashioned, and the audience will see the clues. It is worth mentioning that the pre-box office of "The Legend of Lightyear" was very good. However, after the film was officially released, the box office became increasingly unsatisfactory. Gavsky believes that this work is a spin-off of "Toy Story". Looking at the effect of Disney's spin-offs, such as "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett", no matter whether the reputation is good or not, It can get high ratings because "Star Wars" has such a big goal.However, after "The Story of Lightyear" was officially released, everyone found that the film did not have much to do with the so-called feature film, and it felt a bit forced to "catch up on the popularity." Although Tim Allen's creative ideas are a bit more old-fashioned, these old-fashioned ideas Still useful.
If "Toy Story" wanted to imitate a science fiction movie or a superhero series, and they could seriously create some high-quality spin-offs, they could exploit the potential of "Shepherdess". The author (watching movies complacently) believes that Hollywood is developing rapidly on the path of equal rights. Solo movies with female characters may be more popular and can easily gain better reputation and public opinion. Therefore, Gavsky believes that "Shepherdess" has great potential, and this kind of colorful female character itself can be developed. Moreover, this film critic also emphasized that the spin-off of "Toy Story" needs to develop an audience group. The scope of movie fans is no longer those who are nostalgic, but the audience who come for the work.
