Although it was thought of as the great return of pixar to the cinemas, “Lightyear” It has become a complete failure at the box office, whose collection figures have already been surpassed with the recent premiere of “Minions 2″.

As recalled, Tim Allen was the original artist behind the space ranger. This, for those who are used to hearing “Toy Story” in English, was a huge loss.
