Lightyear got banned across the Muslim world, quietly bombed at the box office, and somehow nobody's asking why Disney made it in the first place.

We look at the angles buried inside Pixar's Lightyear, from the relativistic time-loop as a vampire metaphor to the AI companion Socks as a dry run for Disney's future chatbot merch empire. We also get into the real story behind Tim Allen's exit, the culture-war firestorm that followed, and why the film's premise, a movie Andy watched as a kid, is actually a subtle reality-manipulation trick.
