I know there is an article about it, but Really a movie of buzz light year that nobody asked for. Is the same thing with Solo and Average Movie with hype existing only on the producer’s mind. I going to assume that the budget is so high because they are using the movie as an excuse to pay for developments in CGI Technology. Otherwise, they should have seen coming that it was going to perform like this.
