Lightyear COULD have been Great BUT...

I think by biggest problem with the movie is it doesn’t have 70’s-90’s view about space travel. The idea that you could explore the universe and see all these new planets and Ailen culture and be real cowboy. This movie has a more modern veiw of space travel where it sucks like a lot.

Personally, I never had the full on sense that Andy HAD to have any prior knowledge of Buzz before unwrapping his gift. Stinky Pete did say everyone was greatly favouring spacemen toys so what could happen was Andy saw a commercial instead of a full on movie and begged his mom to have it or his friend group at school wouldn’t stop chatting about it and they convinced him he needed to have it and only truly got crazy into Buzz’s character after that faithful birthday. But I wasn’t born in the 90s so it’s just my best assumptions.

This isn’t the movie that Andy watched, this is the Bayformers-esque reboot. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is what Andy watched and you can’t tell me otherwise

If this movie was suppose Inspire Andy to get Buzz Lighyear, then why wasn't Sox Included either as a Bonus B-Day Gift?

My unhinged conspiracy theory is that the creators wanted to create a PG-13 Pixar film. Remembering that initial trailer, and with how close to release it was before we even knew the rating, I think they were trying to do something significantly more mature when the execs got spooked and forced some serious story rewrites. To me, that would explain a lot of the tonal problems and missed opportunities.

This “grounded, solemn, realist tone and art style” would’ve been suited better to a story about a real life, in-universe NASA astronaut who’s feats and exploits as test pilot (callsign BUZZ) inspired the whole Buzz Lightyear toy and media franchise. They could’ve matched the tone of Soul as a mature story adults could relate to, which could’ve been a prestige, Oscar-worthy movie that also pushed Pixar as a studio. But as it stands, it’s a lame-duck that failed to launch.

To answer the question should you talk about Amphibia/and The Owl House? YES! These shows are awesome and hilarious, (while also being dark at times.) and of course, are totally worth talking about! I would also love for you to talk about Dead End: Paranormal Park, because i feel like that deserves a short video, i hope there's a second season considering that ending scene in the final episode.

"At least this brought more attention to Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which I expect will come to Disney+ any day now. . ." I don't know, I doubt they will. I've been waiting for Aladdin: The Series to be on Disney+ ever since it launched, and it's been 2.5 years.

I really appreciate that all the reviews I've seen are referencing the original Buzz cartoon. That always felt to me (I just had the movie pilot) like that's what the toy came with, a cartoon show for kids based on aliens and lasers. I love the part when X-R (the robot) is reading the manual and the four of them end up in a hilarious argument about nose earrings that always kept me laughing, even now.

I imagine if this was the film that Andy saw as a kid, I’d imagine Sox would’ve been in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command *in-universe*

My brother is pretty die-hard with Disney-Pixar, and even he was like “I’m not interested in this movie”, which really goes to show how strong the fatigue for these extended franchises are. He’s taken a similar approach to the live-action remakes ever since Beauty and the Beast.

Aesthetically, I wish there are more visual diversity. Where are the aliens? Kinda boring that there are only human. Also architecturally, is bland. The old cartoon has this art deco visual trait. I wish we saw that in the big turnip ship so it stands out against the brutalist built for survival and practical focus colony. Age the art deco turnip every time time jump and then at the very end, we see the newest ship Buzz and his team flies off on shares the classic art deco design.

Imagine if it was a big budget adaptation of star command, now that would’ve been awesome.

Someone commented this should’ve been Andy’s first film he works on after graduating Art School and ya know THAT is the kind of movie that would’ve been way more interesting. Andy and his team working trying to make a big comeback for a nostalgic property they love but maybe modern audiences just consider outdated 90s trash. Have them deal with writers block, creative differences, maybe those show up in the characters and story, and the studio telling them what they can and can’t do. But given that whole Alex Hirsch thing recently where he aired all the tiny stuff Disney wouldn’t let him put in Gravity Falls that may be too close to home. This is honestly just wishful thinking but there aren’t enough animated movies ABOUT making animated movies, the closest I can think of are some anime and certain cartoon episodes.

Yes! Finally, someone else points out how this film should have been an in-universe reboot! Edit: also, while watching this I noticed that the team's shoulderpads look kinda like the Praetor Suit, making the pre-release memes comparing Lightyear to Doom more apt.

I personally really enjoyed the movie. However, I think it would of worked more if they made a completely original Buzz Lightyear film that wasn’t insistent on telling us that this was the same film Andy saw that made him want the toy. Removing that blurb at the beginning would of fixed all that. Heck, they could even just said that this was done kind of modern reboot of Buzz Lightyear (like what you said). I think people were probably expecting the movie to feel more similar to Star Command Tv series, with aliens, robots, different planets, space battles, etc and instead they decided to go a direction that felt a little unoriginal and standard. I just watched a video from Flicks in the City, where she stated that Zurg was originally going to be Buzz’s father (like in Toy Story 2) but they scrapped it because it would of been to obvious, both to people who have seen either Toy Story 2 or the Empire Strikes Back (the film the twist was parodying). To me this film felt like a project that was clearly made with good intentions and creative talent, however they prioritised subverting expectations for the sake of not being predictable, and as a result it only made audiences ask more questions. There’s nothing wrong with having a predictable story, as long as the characters are engaging enough to the audience to where you would want to see how they would react to it. It didn’t need to be a movie within a movie. just make it a new movie with a new version of a familiar character.

There's something inherently painful to me about seeing what was clearly a big labor of love from the artists and animators get bogged down by a story that *really* should've been more ironed out. Honestly, I find the film on the whole akin to "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" in that regard, in that its ambitions in the tone and technicals make me admire the film on some level and want to love it - but it just *couldn't* escape the typical trappings of the studio and it makes those parts stand out all the more.

SPOILERS I just can't get over the fact that Evil Emperor Zurg (TM) is neither actually evil, nor an Emperor, nor named Zurg. More to the point, I can't help but notice that the movie really doesn't fit in with any of the "Buzz Lightyear lore" we get from the Toy Story movies. The plot Toy Buzz believes in is a Star Wars knockoff, and we see the tie-in game and learn Zurg is Buzz's father in TS2... But this movie, supposedly the source of those things, contradicts all of them. I don't really care, but it just feels like a weird choice when you're trying to establish that this is the movie Toy Buzz is based on, while Toy Buzz seems to have memories and characterization from a different movie entirely.

I would've steered into the skid. Have this movie be Andy's first film. He went to college (CalArts) and this is his first big project. One of his toy adventures he half remembers from his childhood. He could go through different drafts of Buzz before arriving at the final one that's like 75% earnest hero and 25% dorky goofball. This whole losing precious time theme feels as forced and clunky as it did in the Lost in Space movie (also a relic of the 90s)

I just ignore the "Andy watched this" part and enjoyed it for what it is. It had a good setup, with some nice action. I will admit it was lacking. Also, I'm surprised you didn't talk about Zurg. He was a major disappointment for me. I just wanted a tyrannical menacing evil emperor robot.

When I was watching this movie, I was almost certain that Zurg was going to be revealed as the rookie from the beginning. I really wish this ended up happening, because it would have felt way less cliché, and it would have linked back to the whole thing that was set up about Buzz being against rookies.

I feel like this is not pointed out nearly enough, so I'm glad you did. In-universe, the "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" cartoon was obviously the selling point for the toy, not this movie. At best, 'm willing to pretend that, again in-universe, this movie could have inspired the cartoon series that were used to sell toys. Either that or it is, as you suggsted, a movie that came many years after Star Command.

My issue with the “realism” trend is it lacks heart. This is the same problem with the live action remakes.

The idea that Lightyear is the movie Andy saw that made him want Buzz is completely absurd. 1. No movie made in the 90ś would look like that. 2. No movie made in the 90ś would have a gay kiss that wasn't played as a joke. 3. If it was an in-universe movie, there would be toys based on several characters, not just Buzz and Zurg.

this video interrupted me in the middle of a doomscroll I haven't been able to shake for the better part of a week. Thank you. Legitimately I was driving myself nuts.

"Everything need to be continuity with these people" THE PRODUCERS ARE THE ONES THAT ANOUCED THIS WAS THE ANDY BUZZ! Not the fans.

"Gave William Shatner an Iron Man suit designed by the Jetson." That is a great summing up of Buzz Lightyear's design!

"Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" was the original. "Lightyear" is the 2022 reboot. There is no way this was made in 1995. They should have committed to the 1990's sci-fi style in the designs, the tropes and even the effects. It could've been a fun throwback movie. If the 2010's was 1980s nostalgia, then the 2020's is probably going to be the 1990's nostalgia decade.

Plot hole change my mind: Sox is a robot and should be able to remember the formula. Also why is a colony size spaceship, the turnip, main engine running on a crystal that they don't know how to recreate? I can understand the year or more to build a base, mine for materials, stand the ship up/fix, but why do they need to reinvent crystal technology? This is like early sailors, crash landing on a island, but then to get of they need to reinvent how to make a boat float. The turnip was mostly intact, they also have access to most of their data archives. I see very little reason to think they did not have access to all the data on their original crystal fuel source to recreate from the planet's materials. Also it is highly illogical to think that the ship would not have backup plans for the loss of the main crystal fuel source. Besides that why is Sox the only AI doing theoretical calculations to solve to fuel issue and only after the first test flight? More AI/people at it would have gotten the solution faster if they worked together. This way they would have limited Buzz's maned test flights.

The cynical side of me went “how do we know Disney didn’t purposely let LightYear hit the screen knowing it wasn’t well handled as the other Pixar Films like Turning Red & Luca?” Makes you think, when previously pushing others onto their app. 🤔

Gonna go ahead and say it, the biggest reason this movie definitely isn't a 90s movie, is because of the LGBT couple living next door to Buzz and starting a family. Themes such as that were considered far more mature back in the day, to a point where the executives would have definitely demanded it to be removed, especially if this was supposed to be a movie that was meant to sell toys. As for the biggest reason why this isn't the movie the original Buzz Lightyear toy is based upon, WHERE ARE THE LITTLE GREEN MEN!? Their involvement in the Buzz Lightyear mythos was established in the very first movie. And yet we have NOTHING like them in this movie. As what comes to Zurg, the reveal of his origins makes me laugh my ass off with the sequel baiting at the end of the movie. No one is going to take him seriously after that reveal, unless the robot body gains its own consciousness and puts on a cape.

"Hi. I'm Captain America. Here to talk to you about one of the most valuable traits a soldier or student can have: patience. Sometimes patience is the key to victory. Sometimes it leads to very little, and it seems like it's not worth it, and you wonder why you waited so long for something so disappointing."

If I’m being honest, I’d love to see something from Pixar related to Woody’s Round Up. Considering Buzz got his own show, I’d love to see how an actual Woodys Round Up show would be like based on Toy Story 2

I found it fine personally. I do admit, Sox is my favorite character. Personally wish they fleshed out the other rookies outside Alicia's granddaughter more and yes, that they made the story a little less awkward. Solid 7/10, would watch again if forced to, wouldn't watch again by choice. And I gotta give some love to the expansive landscape scenes of the planet, chef's kiss beautiful honestly.

Thanks for this. Since seeing this film, my thoughts mostly locked onto the statement of _"This felt like an episode of Star Trek that was inspired by Interstellar with Buzz Lightyear and Zurg inserted into it"_ without being able to articulate why I didn't think that was (that much of) a good thing outside of it not feeling at all like a Buzz Lightyear story, 90s or not. Took me a while to even realise that after that first act, with that last office scene, I didn't feel a thing for the whole movie until Izzy had to conquer her astrophobia. I just couldn't grasp any thoughts on the film's execution until so many of the issues I had were laid out here. It was okay, but I definitely would have liked a Buzz Lightyear story that tackled the character that we actually know and love rather than imprinting him onto this story, which isn't bad but needed much more work to get me invested. As you say, it's just kind of forgettable.

Every studio should visit more animation styles, really. I feel like it really has appeal to everyone when there are many options to choose from. Exept studio Ghibli, which should have NEVER ventured into CGI, TERRIBLE idea, worst mistake ever.

12:39 “Should I talk about The Owl House and Amphibia?“ YES. YOU SHOULD.

this review just made me realize, the issue is that not a single part of it makes me interested. like im a huge toy story fan, and theres a big part of me that loves mediocre movies for the morsels of unachieved greatness in them... but this just looks like another big budget sci fi drama that happens to be animated. like you said, turning red and luca have the advantage of being visually memorable, of having personality. i feel like the good dinosaur, with the cartoony dinos and the hyperrealistic backgrounds and its weird "cowboy dinos" concept and unpredictability was more interesting than this. obviously it isnt a bad movie. but i do start to feel that being boring might just be the most disappointing thing a movie can be :/

I am so glad CellSpex reviewed this movie. In fact, I came out of the theaters thinking to myself, it wasn't Pixar's best, but it certainly wasn't Pixar's worst either. It was mid-tier.

This movie pretty good, but I say turning red was the superior pixar movie of the year because of how original and creative it was. I like the characters, animation, and the world. But I didn’t like that twist with Zurg. It felt completely out of place. Also, I wish the little green men made an appearance in this movie. It’s a 7.5/10 movie. I’m hoping for Pixar to make a short form woody’s roundup series for Disney plus. That would be cool!

Honestly I kinda wanted to see Zurg as a more terrifying thing like I wish he would have just stayed suited. I didn’t really like the idea of another twist villain for only 5 minutes.

I might enjoy this movie but personally: i might just rewatch Star Command. it has more charm with it's characters and world building and i love Zurg better in that.

John Lasseter specifically had it out for Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. And somehow that impression wormed its way into executives when it wasn't originally there. Quite unfortunate.

So you’re telling me, that in the 90’s, Andy watched a movie that had a lesbian couple in it? And this movie was actually made? In the 90’s???

haven''t watched the video yet, but does anyone remember the vhs lightyear saturday morning show? it was a short run, but it had everything this movie needed to succeed. It even had a very strong willed female character. My brother and I watched that vhs so friggin much. it's sad that none of that was used in the movie. edit ** YESS SHE TALKED ABOUT IT!

The concept sounds like it could be peak fiction, could've been a crazy psychological thriller or something. It's crazy someone could take this concept and make it boring lol

i think the TS franchise has been a huge double edged sword for pixar since it's very inception. it's the series that got the studio off the ground and into the spotlight, but it's become such a money fountain for disney that pixar are pretty much mandated to keep making sequels and spin offs even if it means further botching the integrity of the ip. you can very much tell that 4, much as i defend that installment, was a result of disney wanting it more then anyone actually involved with the project.

Given the recurring timeskips I think Zurg should have been Buzz's abandoned son

Honestly after watching the movie, its biggest failing was not fleshing out the plot points it introduced. Crashed on planet that is openly hostile? Time skip until they have a settlement. Friends thought he was dead for years? No visible change in how they react to buzz coming and going. Going back in time despite time dilation doesn't allow for that (put simply time dilation becomes infinite if you hit the speed of light, ie 1 second at that speed becomes infinite seconds experienced relative to everything else)

Just came upon your content and just had to say I'm a fan lol..everything you cover is super insightful and interesting..you can def see all the hard work you put into vids.. Had to add Amphiba is a work of art

5:54 Ah Yes I'd do remember the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and I' still pissed that they have NOT put this Out on Disney+ and it felt like a missed opportunity to put the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Cartoon on Disney+ right when Lightyear came out

I really love the aesthetic and art style of this movie.

I think it would have been really cool if Zurg was a robot created by Steele as a weapon take down the Galactic Federation as she was jailed because she was a revolutionary but Zurg went AWOL and developed its own mind

One thought from me about Lightyear: To me, it feels like the watering down of the movie was almost done on purpose. I think it was even perhaps a style choice. At the beginning, we learn that the context for this movie is that Andy watched it way back in 1995. From here, we reset the context, and imagine it less as an impactful movie, and more as a Mattel toy commercial. Perhaps the toys were already in production at that point. Simply point, this movie would then be an addition to that toy franchise to boost sales. Lightyear doesn't need to be the most amazing film, because despite it's star-studded cast, it's not that sort of movie, and it doesn't need to be to achieve what it wants to achieve. I do think the other characters could've had more development definitely, but thinking about the movie as a style choice makes the movie at least a little more interesting to me. And also, if I saw this in 1995 I would've been blown away cus the art is amazing

I thought of it this way...Toy Story's Andy started by watching the cartoon show for Buzz Lightyear. Say a couple years later, they make this movie, which the toy is based on...(Like when they had the X-men cartoon in the 90s and the Brian Singer X-men movie in 2000) Maybe he goes to see this movie with his dad, so his love of Buzz is kinda attached to the memory of being with his dad...Seeing as it would be a real life movie based on a property, that would give fair reason to the changes between the movie and other Buzz related stuff. What threw me off more was the whole "This is the movie Andy saw in 1995"...it looks WAY better than the stuff we had in 1995. idk...my head hurts now...

The biggest problem with the premise is if you pay enough attention to details about the Buzz Lightyear toys in the movies they’re clearly not based on anything, they’re a toy first brand with the in-universe game highlighting his glow in the dark suit and the new anti-gravity belt in stores now.

I'm just gonna say that this film feels very fanfictiony. Especially with Zurg's identity (which I will not spoil for those who haven't seen it)

I've noticed that this movie has been received pretty "meh"ly from basically every animation RU-vidr that exists. I have to wonder if I myself am missing something here or if this just was different than what people were expecting. I went in and had a good time with this movie. I seem to be in the minority and I don't get what I missed that made it so meh. I have at least noticed that people seemed to have liked it a lot more if they understood Buzz's actions and why he was doing what he did, and then those that didn't seem to not like the movie. I'm wondering if that's just a case and somehow I got it when others didn't...which would probably be a first for me, and that's why I feel it has to be something else.

The first ten or thirty minutes have Buzz go “sigh, autopilots” about five times to the point I figured the Zurg were just going to be IVAN from the future. I get it’s that he doesn’t like working with others, but they only needed to say it once.

With them being in space I was hoping for more different and extreme looking planets.

I feel like a woody movie would have been a better choice for a movie considering that pixar allready went to space and they did not have a full on western jet. Plus woody is supposed to be this amazing Charakter that got unfairly forgotten

The main reason why I didn't like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command as a kid was that it was 2D. I always preferred 3D over 2D as a kid until I got introduced to arthouse animation like those by Studio Ghibli. I noticed Pixar was credited in Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo but they just made the English dub with Lucasfilm. I would love a full feature length animated film from Pixar that is 2D. Pixar also made the English dubs of Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Tales from Earthsea, and Arrietty (which was also co-produced with Lucasfilm). Everything starting with From Up on Poppy Hill was dubbed by GKIDS and Lucasfilm.

Hehe...your thumbnail has Buzz looking like Ziggy in a spacesuit and now I can't unsee.

I think I would have been more entertained by Lightyear if I hadn't seen a lot of other 'hard' sci-fi movies before like Interstellar, Alien, 2001, etc. The second act got quite boring but things got better in the third act, what I liked the most was the designs of the spaceships and the suits worn by the human colonists, that and SOX

The Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command Pilot/Movie is by far much better than the Lightyear movie And that’s not nostalgia. It is just that much better

The idea of Lightyear being an in-universe reboot of the in-universe Buzz Lightyear cartoon is hilarious. I can picture Andy going on some internet forum and complaining that Lightyear ruined his childhood,

I think this movie's premise would've worked better if spread out in a short series. That way, the loss of Felicia would've landed harder and more shockingly, after we spent a few episodes seeing her. And it would've left plenty of room to see how the colony grew, changed and progressed through the years.

Your point about the time skips reminds me of Overly Sarcastic Productions trope talk on the subject.

Just imagine how much fun this could've been not just with a better story, but if they stuck with the idea of "this is the movie Andy watched", and deliberately made the armored suits look like props, and made the movie look like a 90's sci fi film. That would've been SO much more fun.

Toy Story 4 was devastating for me and I was so excited for Lightyear. I found it visually stunning and I enjoyed the heck out of it. It healed a bit of that heartbreak TS4 gave me.

I prefer the characters from the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command tv series over the characters from this movie.

If I had a nickel for every time Chris Evans played a character that time travelled, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

"BOY this would've been some world class effects for the nineties." *Looks at Titanic, Terminator 2, The Matrix, Jurassic Park* welllllllllllll.....TO BE FAIR....

I feel like I was the only one super hyped about this movie since Buzz was my favorite character in Toy Story. All of what you said was valid though. As much as I did like the movie, after watching it 3 times, there could have been a lot more with this. I do wish this new continuity of Buzz could continue in some way since I am interested in seeing more content with it and seeing what they could do with it. If not a sequel, then maybe an animated series, styled like if it was from the 90's and give it the same flare as the OG cartoon

I think the worst part is that I really like the visuals and the mixing of styles, but the story just didn't seem to hit where it should have

I think you hit it right on the head about how Lightyear fits into the Toy Story universe. My headcanon is that Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is what got the character of Buzz popular with toy lines and merchandise and this new film is an in-universe “live-action” reboot of the franchise.

I liked/enjoyed it. It was nice seeing the beloved space ranger go on his own adventure. I really liked Evan’ performance as the Human version of Buzz. Yes, the story did have many cliches especially with Buzz’s intention on trying to get everyone home, the Zurg twist was very stupid (but this doesn’t come as a surprise because Disney/Pixar haven’t been able to make a good twist villain lately), and there are a couple scenes that didn’t need to be as long as they did. But I still liked the story and Buzz teaming up with the rookies (which I liked unlike most other people), Zurg, despite having a bad twist, was still pretty menacing and threatening(in his robot form), Sox of course of awesome. I do get the hate a lot of people have for this movie because of ‘that scene’ but to an extent because I didn’t think it need to be in the movie and could’ve been removed entirely but my gosh, the whole internet literally had me worried, but it only lasted for a second with it being played casually instead of it being a huge deal, like seriously, y’all crazy. But I’m 17 with no kids so I what do I know really? Anyways, I do believe that Buzz trying to get everyone home didn’t feel like it was that urgent since no one really seems to care that they’re on a new sequel and maybe would’ve been more better if the citizens did. But overall I thought it was good, not great, not perfect, but good. Ok, bye

If Andy was watching this movie wouldn’t he wanted a Sox toy instead of a buzz light year toy?

I can't be the only one who wonders if this movie might have been better received if it wasn't part of the Toy Story franchise. Because it's not like it would have taken too many changes to make it another standalone Pixar movie - change the names of a couple characters (really only need to change Buzz and Zurg), tweak a few designs of some things, and you remove basically all the direct connection between this movie and Toy Story.

When i saw the trailers, i got a glimpse of sox, a scene of sox, and hated him. Why? He is so blatantly a by-the-books "look! an uncanny yet really endearing side character that audiences fall in love with ala the Minions" and was drained. The awkward, limited articulation, the monotone system robot voice, those big ol' eyes that make most people go "awww" all compounded to just turn me cynical toward him. Seeing clips of Sox from scenes outside the trailers has not lifted my opinion, if anything i was confirmed and more with the stuffed inside lightyear's(the main character is NOT buzz) helmet clip. I'm sure there's an example of this archetype out there that I like, but i cant think of it off the top of my head. Maybe Wall-E? idk.

I really loved both owl house and Amphibia! I though amphibia was hilarious easily one of the funiest shows I've seen in a long time. And owl house had me on the edge of my seat with it's amazing drama and characters. Would love for you to talk about them some time

Honestly, I would rather that in universe, this was actually a reboot movie based on the show that Andy watched as a kid... Because this did not feel like a 90's movie, nor something that'd be shown to 90's kids... The Buzz Lightyear Cartoon filled that role much better...

This movie should’ve been a full on parody of 80s-90s Sci-fi films. Go big and colorful. It still might not have been good but it would’ve at least been memorable

Lightyear should've been a movie like Buzz lightyear of Starcommand the series. I did like Sox though, he was cute and not annoying.

At least this disappointing reboot is making more people aware of the television cartoon series. It was a pretty good show.

if they were going to make this the movie that buzz lightyear was based on in the toy story universe why not make it an homage to the over the top sci fi action movies of the 90s that would have given this movie the vital component known as an identity

Felt more like a commercial for the cat than buzz😅

Dude this is literally the perfect length for procrastination in bed

Man I miss Team Lightyear from Star Command :)

Great review , so well articulated . I felt Socks was actually the saving grace of the film as it got into the 2nd and 3rd act . Not sure why they couldn’t just copy the cartoon spin off . That show was great

If given the choice, I definitely would take the Star Command cartoon movie (and this series, obviously) over this movie any day, without a second thought. The fact the Star Command movie and show aren't on Disney+ makes all the happier I have the Star Command movie on DVD... which I actually bought when I was in Japan back in 2012, so, I've had it for quite a long time now

I know this is JUST about the ending of the video… But PLEASE talk about Owl House and Amphibia. They’re both great shows and it’d be cool to raise peoples awareness on how great they both are.

My husband and I got off on the designs and art direction in this movie that were highly reminiscent of Derek Meddings' work on Thunderbirds and Stingray. Unfortunately, that was about the ONLY thing that impressed us about this movie.

YES, talk about Owl House and Amphibia, PLEASE!!!! 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Love your videos they always make me laugh or give me the nice wholesome feeling I need to get through the day ❤️💖

This feels like the most fair critique of this film I've seen yet, so thank you for that.

Lightyear is already a "RU-vid critic punching bag".

It's one of those things where Lightyear never appealed to me from the trailers and I'm a little disappointed my gut instinct was correct

Turning Red is definitely the better Pixar movie that came out this year, but Lightyear does have it moments. I did like the callbacks to the original Toy Story, they were cute. The thing with Zurg felt completely out of left field but I get that they wanted to tie it back to Buzz’s personal hangups. This movie is a mixed bag but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth watching. I mean it’s certainly better than that misguided Jurassic World movie…
