It is, in essence, a light, breezy, better-than-average Disney movie that just happens to feature a most-valuable Pixar player, while barely…

Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 13 Jun 2022

Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Jake Coyle (526) for The Associated Press (882) on 13 Jun 2022

A dead-end wrong turn in the usually boundless Pixar universe. Buzz, himself, is a bit of a bore, too…

Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 13 Jun 2022

Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 13 Jun 2022

Ultimately, the people who made “Lightyear” bet too much on the appeal of Buzz, when they really needed to be deepening him and transforming…

Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 13 Jun 2022
