Lightyear First Reactions Unanimously Praise Pixar's Toy Story Spinoff

screenrant.com:

The first reactions for Lightyear enthusiastically praise Pixar's Toy Story spinoff. Presented as a blockbuster movie that was released within the Toy Story universe, Lightyear tells the tale of the «real» Buzz Lightyear as he goes on a daring intergalactic mission. The Lightyear trailers highlight the film's time travel plot, as Buzz accidentally finds himself 62 years in the future, where he has to work with a new team of Star Command recruits and a robot cat named Sox. Lightyear is the first Pixar movie in over two years to receive a traditional theatrical release.

With its ties to Pixar's flagship Toy Story franchise, the casting of Chris Evans in the title role, and the classic sci-fi adventure vibe, Lightyear is one of the more anticipated movies of the summer. Given Pixar's track record of delivering heartfelt and entertaining films for people of all ages, the hope is Lightyear can be another winner for the studio. Back in April, early reactions to Lightyear's first 30 minutes were overwhelmingly positive, with some drawing comparisons to Up. Now, the full film has screened for critics, and Lightyear is getting more praise.
