- yellowapple 3y agoCars was pretty great, too, so if Lightyear is less "bad" than Cars then that seems like glowing praise if anything.
- DizzyDoo 3y agoYou've misundertood the list, Lightyear ranks one place below Cars, so (on this list at least) it's viewed as worse than Cars. But better than Cars 3 and Cars 2.
- yellowapple 3y agoCars 2 was also pretty great, so my point still stands.
- toyg 3y agoThe difference being that Cars cost 70m (around 100m in 2023 dollars) and made 460m (half of that in the US). Lightyear cost 200m and made 220m. It didn't even make a profit in the US market. It's hard not to consider it a massive flop.
