Chris Evans Picks His Favorite Toy Story Movie (And It Isn’t Lightyear)

Chris Evans picks his favorite movie in the Toy Storyfranchise, and it isn't Lightyear. After Toy Story 4 seemingly gave the franchise a definitive ending, it was unclear how Disney would be able to continue to profit off of their lucrative piece of IP. The answer came with Lightyear, the movie Andy Davis saw in 1995 that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy. Lightyear has received mixed to positive reviews in the short time it's been released, with many considering it a fun space adventure that isn't quite able to live up to previous Toy Story movies.

While there are currently mixed opinions on Lightyear, partly due to Tim Allen being recast with Evans, it was always going to be hard for the spinoff to live up to expectations. The original Toy Story was not only a monumental film for Pixar since it marked the studio's first feature-length film, but it also made an impact with critics and at the box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 1995. Toy Story 2 couldn't quite live up to its predecessor, and Toy Story 3 was considered the perfect end to the franchise, showing Andy going to college and leaving his toys with Bonnie. Nearly ten years later, Toy Story 4 would hit theaters, which some deemed unnecessary, but the sequel was critically praised, partly because of Woody and Bo-Peep's storyline.
