The case for more LGBTQ representation, not less.
The much-anticipated prequel of the Buzz Lightyear story generated a nostalgia for the days of adventure with Buzz and Woody.
Toy Story was the first fully computer animated film and the first breakout hit for Pixar that ended up turning it into an instant classic. The excitement for the continuation of a feel good classic, however, was at times overshadowed by the manufactured outrage of a minority of Americans who are still living in self-imposed religious dark ages.
