Attempting to perfect hyperspace travel to get them home, Buzz accidentally time-travels decades into the future, where he encounters a group of eager recruits and a robotic cat companion, Sox. Together, they face the evil Emperor Zurg and his army of robots, uncovering Zurg’s surprising connection to Buzz while working to save the stranded crew and defeat the threat.
Lightyear REVIEW
With Lightyear, Disney's attempt to ruin adored franchises is on full display. In it, they take a fan favorite character that has accrued nearly thirty years of goodwill, water him down, and insert him into a generic space adventure with almost no space and little adventure.
If you want to stunt your sons' testosterone development, feed them a steady diet of this hand-holding, meaning of friendship, My Little Pony in space.

Michael has sought to help people heal and uncover the deeper themes, meanings, and purposes in their stories to aid them in living a better life. He now aims to help heal the film industry by shrinking it as well, and hopefully squeeze out the pathology. He relies upon his passion for film and psychological foundation, which includes strong philosophical and theological fundamentals to analyze film, highlight the artistic value and offer a diagnosis.
I initially skipped most of Pixar’s (and Disney’s) animated offerings between the release of Inside Out (2015) and Inside Out 2 (2024). Had Worth it or Woke existed back then, I would have consulted you guys first about whether they were safe enough to take a chance on viewing.
I’m old enough to remember watching Buzz Lightyear of Star Command on TV. In my mind, the Lightyear movie was not only an unnecessary installment, but may have also invalidated something fun that had come before it.
