I thought Disney cancelled Tim Allen? Has twitter lied to me again?
So about Twitter...
The film isn't a cash grab, the script does a really good job of grabbing my cash - I mean, attention!
Whoa, what a weird Freudian slip
Tim Allen says Disney would not be making "Toy Story 5" if it was just about the money.
Riiiiight.
That's what they said about the last 3 movies
We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective.
Disney CEO Michael Eisner, in an internal memo in 1981
Yeah but Eisner was a shit CEO for Disney.
He presided over some of their most successful years. In terms of profitability he was at least as good for Disney as Balmer was for Microsoft.
I mean. In all fairness he's not the current CEO and he is very much malighned as Disney's CEO. He's the main Blame for Disney's worst years.
But also I can't find the actual source for that quote your referencing anywhere. Just a bunch of other posts, memes, and comments saying he said it. In 1981 he worked for Paramount. He didn't work for Disney until 1984. So I'm a bit skeptical he even ever said that. Though it's obviously absolutely possible.
disney would fire mickey if the mouse dared ask for a 25 cent increase in pay.
Real Jim Carrey retirement vibe here!
Power resting? Tell me more.
"Resting" here is likely the industry term for "I have asked my agent not to book me auditions in the following period."
I just finished a 9 month comedy residency, followed by a Christmas show nov-dec, I have asked my agent to reste me in January.
Imagine having a net worth of $180M and still feeling like it isn't enough.
What even is the point of money if you'll never feel secure or satisfied?
As your wallet gets bigger, so does what you spend money on.
he's also been divorced a couple times, alimony may have something to do with it.
That's a very strong possibility. Smart thinking.
The only things you can't buy with $180M are very expensive businesses. Hell man, Musk bought a president with $100M, so even a government is in the cards with that kind of wealth.
If you're coming out to say that pre-emptively, I'm gonna say you're a liar.
(guess it's a cash grab then)
Says terrible actor who wouldn't know a good script
I would be happy to pass on his entire catalog but Galaxy Quest is pretty cool and he wouldn't have landed that role without being an established leading actor.
The role was of a washed-up lead who chewed through ever set he'd ever been on. Of course he was perfect for it.
Broken clock blah blah blah.
correction/addendum: says former coke dealer who only escaped prison by snitching like crazy and also wouldn’t know a good script
That was like 30+ years ago.
Hate to break it to you, but he still doesn't know a good script.
Lol! Touche
Toy story 4 was pretty good 🤷♂️
I do agree. I thought 4 was great way to wrap it up. Probably because we all thought it was over.
Yup. The 200 billion dollar company doesn't care about money. Makes sense, good work everyone.
