LIGHTYEAR FIRST REVIEWS: AN EXHILARATING, VISUALLY SPECTACULAR SCI-FI ADVENTURE FOR FANS WHO GREW UP WITH TOY STORY
CRITICS SAY PIXAR’S TOY STORY-ADJACENT SPACE ROMP IS GORGEOUS AND FUN, EVEN IF IT DOESN’T REACH THE STUDIO’S GREATEST HEIGHTS, AND A SCENE-STEALING SOX THE CAT WILL BE EVERYONE’S NEW FAVORITE SIDEKICK.
Pixar returns to theaters with Lightyear, a sort of spin-off of their Toy Story franchise featuring the in-universe inspiration for the Buzz Lightyear toy (voiced here by Chris Evans). The first reviews of the movie celebrate its animated sci-fi action and adventure story and visuals, as well as its scene-stealing robot cat for comic relief, but it’s not necessarily the studio’s greatest release.
DOES IT LIVE UP TO PEAK PIXAR?
Lightyear is the best movie of the year so far, and the best Pixar movie in quite some time. – Tessa Smith, Mama’s Geeky
Lightyear emerges as a disappointing runner-up, capturing but a fraction of the comedy, thrills, and poignancy of its predecessors. – Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
Sadly it never reaches the emotional highs that Pixar was known for. – John Nguyen, Nerd Reactor
It lacks the emotional weight and meaning Pixar moviegoers expect. – Jeff Nelson, Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Not every Pixar production needs to be a new modern classic, but… Lightyear is not exactly going to occupy too much space in my mind in the weeks to come. – Aaron Neuwirth, We Live Entertainmentr
