Quentin Tarantino Apparently Loves ‘Toy Story 3’
Quentin Tarantino always seems to have something to say, and his latest comment making headlines is very unexpected.
The acclaimed director appeared on Club Random with Bill Maher when the topic of film trilogies was brought up. While not all film trilogies turn out great, Tarantino says he’s a massive fan of the first three Toy Story films. In fact, he says that Toy Story 3 is “one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.”
Tarantino loves Toy Story 3 so much that he hasn’t even bothered to see the fourth installment of the franchise, which was released in 2019. He supported his reasoning by saying, “You literally ended the story as perfect as you could, so, no, I don’t care if it’s good. I’m done. I am done. It can still be good, but I’m done!”
Oh boy…who’s going to tell Tarantino that Toy Story 5 — which sees our favorite friends trying to compete with screens and electronic items — is in the works and slated for release in 2026?
Regardless of Tarantino’s feelings about Toy Story 4 and 5, he’s smart enough not to mess with the likes of Disney/Pixar. Actors, however, is a different story.
Tarantino made headlines earlier this month thanks to George Clooney. Last year, Tarantino talked with Deadline about how studios don’t seem to invest in actors anymore to help them become “movie stars.” This then led to Tarantino talking about certain actors who he considers to be today’s “movie stars.” Among them are Margot Robbie, Bradley Cooper, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington and Harrison Ford.
Deadline‘s Baz Bamigboye then asked Tarantino whether he considers Clooney to be a movie star. Tarantino responded with, “Well, it’s been a long while since I think George Clooney has drawn anybody to an audience. When was the last time that he had a hit in this millennium?”
These comments were then brought up during a recent interview Clooney did with Brad Pitt for GQ. The topic of Tarantino was brought up in the scope of how both Clooney and Pitt seem to be go-to actors for certain directors. GQ‘s Zach Baron cites Clooney as being a go-to actor for the Coen brothers, while Pitt is a go-to for David Fincher and Tarantino.
This led to Clooney touching on how Tarantino “said some s— about me recently.” When Clooney mentions how Tarantino alleges he hasn’t had a hit movie this millennium, he says, “That’s kind of my whole f—ing career.”
Clooney concludes, “So now I’m like, all right, dude, f— off. I don’t mind giving him s—. He gave me s—.”
