Lightyear (2022)
7/10
Oh well, I liked it

"Lightyear" is the defictionalization of the movie that exists in the "Toy Story" Universe and seeing as how any "Toy Story" movie is my favorite animated movie of all time, I just had to see it and...it's not bad at all. Look, I know that many people were angry about the twist that Emperor Zurg is Buzz in the future and I wasn't a fan of it either. I still felt that this was a fairly unique film. It isn't a "Toy Story" movie at all, it's a Buzz Lightyear film. The plot is that Buzz is trying to reach hyperspeed but keeps failing and ends up time traveling four years into the future. The last of these (and his only success) results in a world ruled by Emperor Zurg and I already told you the spoiler.

Sox the robot cat is fantastic. I felt this movie was very well paced and it was something different for Pixar. Yes, it didn't work out nearly as well as the "Toy Story" films, but the characters were fairly likeable and the visuals are really good with nice action scenes. It is kind of weird to think this is the movie that launched the Lightyear franchise In-Universe. Wait, the green aliens came from Buzz Lightyear, so why weren't they in this movie? It's by no means a classic, but I still enjoyed it and I don't care that it's the lowest rated Pixar film here at all. ***
