I guess the most unbelievable thing about this movie being a fictional movie in Toy Story, is that SOX wasn't Andy's new toy.

Lightyear: I'm the most definitive aspect of Andy getting his Buzz Lightyear toy Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: Am I a joke to you?

to be honest buzz lightyear of star command seemed more like a cartoon andy would watch rather than this movie

No one was more excited for Lightyear than I was. I thought it was a real opportunity to expand upon Buzz the character and make an exciting space adventure that expanded upon the lore in a different way. Instead, I got a boring ass movie that made Buzz lifeless, ruined the most iconic Pixar villain, and was not a celebration of Buzz Lightyear. It amazes me that they screwed up so badly with a movie that was the easiest thing to get right.

All of its other failures aside, this movie made one fatal mistake and that was botching the ONE THING it was supposed to do: convince us that someone would buy a Buzz Lightyear toy after seeing it.

As I repeatedly put it, you take a guy whose catchphrase is "to infinity and beyond" and you trap him on a bland planet and make the lesson to settle down and cut your losses.

- The granddaughter doesn't know about the ''to infinity and beyond'' even tho it was a thing her grandmother did with Buzz, has she never mentioned it in her books? She was in the room when her grandmother did that, finger and all. - Invisible mode was the granddaughter's idea but she doesn't know about the time limit? - She is afraid of space? Why? Did she have a traumatic accident? Her grandmother died of old age, not in space. - The way how they are trapped but still able to move and merge and destroy the panel that lets them free. Who made this? - When the car makes a sound the bugs attack people instead of going outside where the sound was coming from. - The old lady can take three things and make them explode. It's just lazy writing to make you believe she can do that. Also, was she failing for years or did she just now wants to be a space ranger? - Taika Waititi's character has a pen. Why would you need a pen if the technology is beyond paper, especially in space? - Time paradox. If Buzz went back in time to stop the crush there would've been no reason to test the fuel and he wouldn't find what he needs to time travel. - Also, how lucky that he just found everything he would need, including a spaceship with robots that can only say Zurg, for his crazy plan to work. - Everybody thought that Zurg would be Buzz's father but they changed it to be ''subversive''. - Anything involving robot cat that just saves their asses. - ''References'' to Star Wars, Halo, and many other Sci-Fi I don't get. Your movie has to stand on its own! Shrek has a bunch of references but also an interesting world and jokes of its own. There are probably hundreds more problems that I don't have the energy to type out.

When it was first announced, I was under the impression that the movie was basically going to be an in-universe biopic for the "real" astronaut that inspired the toy Buzz. So it wouldn't have Zurg, aliens, etc, and it'd be more gritty and realistic like Gravity or First Man. But the actual film claims that it's the fictional movie Andy saw before he got his Buzz toy, and they even straight up say it was 1995. With that in mind, it would have made way more sense to actually make something closer to a 80's/90's sci-fi action movie rather than modern day one.

The buzz lightyear of star command movie made way more sense as the movie andy watched

I wanted to see a vibrantly colorful somewhat wacky film where Buzz was portrayed as a little bit cocky on the surface but also sweet. Where Zurg was an actual villain who maybe has a right-hand man or woman that fills the audience with terror. One movie that gave me a few of those things is "My Little Pony: The Movie." If this movie would have been more like that, it might have drawn more people to go and see it.

This is like the infamous third part/prequel to The Little Mermaid. They did it as an excuse to pretend the animated series never happened just because the original creators hate it. Instead of being superior as they had hoped, it was the final nail in the coffin for the notorious series of the DTV sequels to the Disney classics.

I really believe Pixar could pull off a Sci-fi epic similar to Star Trek, Dune, or Interstellar without the “Lightyear” or “Toy Story” name. They could’ve made a whole original trilogy with an overarching storyline and interesting world building full of lore, but sadly we got Lightyear instead. Like I get it…money, profitability, etc, but come on, the potential was there.

It's mostly because we had the original Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and it's animated series.

I'm convinced Pixar wanted to make another Toy Story film, without Woody and the other toys, so they decided to make a Buzz Lightyear film, hoping enough people would have forgotten the 2000s cartoon series - Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Unfortunately, Pixar has greenlit a fifth Toy Story film, going down the same route that doomed Ice Age, It's very disappointing Pixar could make something awesome, only turn 180 with some generic dribble. Moreover, I recommend BLoSC, it's a fun and creative cartoon, it is everything the film tried to be, novelty is what the audience is craving, we get enough generic gruel, now we want gourmet.

Why are we even getting Toy Story 5 when this movie FAILED

Lightyear bombed because it was a bait and switch and the target groups noticed it. The Lightyear in the movie has almost nothing to do with the lightyear from the other Toystory stuff. Also Disney-Pixar failed to tell the poeple why they should watch the movie and instead concentrated in the marketing on the first lesbian couple in a Disney-Pixar movie. That was very similar to Strange World.

They should have made this Movie as a conventional SciFi Story and not as a Buzz Lightyear Story. With the ToyStory label tacked on, it cannot work. Buzz needs to be appeal to kids. But this version of Buzz is more appealing to young Adults.

Patrick Warburton was and is more Buzz Lightyear than Chris Evans will ever be!

I really wish they would have gone with the original idea of Buzz’s father Larry Lightyear becoming Zurg.

The other problem with the grounded realistic and gritty design is that it causes Buzz’s iconic suit and Zurg to look very out of place with their cartoony designs.

I was immensely disappointed that they didnt make something similar to Star Command. This was such an easy win for Pixar to just make a pulp fiction sci fi movie. What were they thinking?

TV Spots: "Lightyear is Pixar's triumphant return to theaters." Box Office: "NOPE." Elemental: "We'll take that title, thank you."

-No toys coming alive when humans aren't present -No bright, cheerful colors -No playful little children -No toys rescuing each other from certain doom -No toys at all, really. -Dark visuals with realistically rendered environments "Let's tie it to Toy Story!" - Someone at Pixar Buzz Lightyear was apart of a toy line marketed by cheesy commercials and a silly action cartoon (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command). Buzz Lightyear was a riff on whacky 1990s action cartoons that were meant to sell toys to kids, like Ninja Turtles, Swat Katz, Street Sharks, or Road Rovers. That's what this movie should've been, a movie inspired by 1990s action cartoons. Hell, the movie explicitly states that this was the movie that Andy saw back in 1995. Lightyear looks nothing like this. If they wanted to make a super-serious space drama, then they should've made a new movie. Now that I think about, this movie also looks really freaking detailed for a CGI movie from 1995. It's like the animators hopped in a time machine, went forward about 25-30 years, and then came back with cutting-edge supercomputers. Back in 1995, Toy Story 1 was as good as CGI got. Otherwise, most theatrical and straight-to-VHS animated movies in the 1990s were hand-drawn. This movie should've looked like The Lion King, Prince of Egypt, or Pocahontas, for example. Would've helped it stand out, too methinks.

I would sum up the problem as "how did this movie result in that toy? And why would a child want to watch something this grim?"

How was this Andy's favourite movie? If i was a kid i probably would've gotten bored halfway through.

Biggest thing why the gay suplot doesn't work is because of the fact it's 1995 and it's a family film which back then wouldn't fly due to how people were not yet open to that.

And what is bad that Lightyear could have worked if they made it a fun colorful sci-fi adventure similar to something like The Fifth Element, The Jetsons, Beyond Good and Evil, and Ratchet and Clank. Instead we got a sad, gloomy, Interstellar and Annihilation knock off.

Shame on you writers for creating Zurg into a future Buzz! 🤨

I wanted a fun, entertaining and exciting movie not a boring, bland and lifeless film that manages to butcher the titular character and i kid you not make the worst possible twist villain in Disney's recent movie catalogue imaginable. This film would and SHOULD've been good but MAN did they mess up bad...i feel embarrassed for even trying to sort of defend this movie with a cautious optimism.

Zurg's twist is one of reasons why Lightyear is such a bland mixed bag.

This movie would have been better if it had been a homage to old space adventure movies and TV shows like Flash Gordon.

This movie feels like they are trying to make an example out of remakes. But it just proved that making an examples of others makes an example of you. You can't comment forever , especially when you're making entertainment. Hunchback did the same message better "life is not a spectator sport."

The sad part is. I really like the visual style and overall look of this movie. The ships, the tech the clothes the overall early 90s sci-fi feel and dirty grunge looks amazing. That dosent save the movie from being a dumpsterfire though. Shame it could not be a better story with this awesome visual design.

The reason why Lightyear never worked it's because it wasn't Buzz Lightyear of Star Command the already perfect origin story of Buzz Lightyear that is 100 times better than this crap movie that was never needed in the first place.

This movie fails to appeal to anyone it was trying to appeal to. - It fails to appeal to LGBT supporters because there is only a 2-second lesbian kiss that would've been edited out for less accepting countries and was later added again after people pointed it out. But people still won't watch a bad/boring movie for one scene. You can't have it both ways! Either make an LGBT movie with a budget that takes into consideration that the movie won't be released everywhere. - Parents with small children would rather not have to have a talk about LGBT. Also, the lesbian couple gets together and one of them is shown being pregnant. Kids may not know where the babies come from but they know there needs to be ''mommy and daddy''. I don't think the parents want to talk about in vitro or the possibility that she just asked some guy to get her pregnant so she and her wife can have a baby. - But Toy Story is a franchise from the 90s. I bet people who grew up with it and people who don't mind this one scene would be more than enough to make this movie a huge hit. Except people already know the backstory of Buzz because it's a parody of Star Wars and they retcon it in the movie anyway, so what's the point of watching it? - And don't give me the ''they wanted to appeal to a wider audience''. Toy Story already has a huge audience. And why would people unfamiliar with and who are not fans of Toy Story would want to watch a spinoff movie which has so many references that they won't get? Besides those two scenes (gay kiss and future Buzz being Zurg) the whole movie is just a bore. With the trailer failing to engage people, it feeling like a cash grab and inflation people just decided they could watch it on Disney+ and forgot all about it.

Honestly I thought it would be about buzz testing a ship accidentally shot putting himself and maybe crew halfway across the Galaxy and discovering an evil emperor Zurg planning to invade and desperately trying to get back to warn everyone first.

John Lasseter would've made a better standalone Lightyear movie. Change my mind.

if anything I would describe lightyear as a great representation of how far computer animation has gotten as you can't deny the movie was stunning and their was a whole lot of eye candy to go around; unfortunately the story was not well put together and all around failed most peoples expectations for this movie when it first came out. ill tell you the hype for light year before it came out was pretty good and i for one was excited to see it...... well, was excited to see it until I actually saw it and all that hype vanished almost as fast as it came out. and you know what I find it funny how lightyear was expected to be a box office hit then failed and then came around elemental which everyone thought it was gonna be a box office bomb (which it was for a bit) until word of mouth turned it into the success it is and that in my mind is ironic lol.

I remember making a joke with some friends about how it was obvious Zurg was actually future Sox, but when we actually saw what happened we all said, that would’ve actually been a better twist than what we got.

The thing that got me was Tim Allen not returning as Buzz Lightyear.

I don’t mind something like this existing, though it could’ve been way better than this.

I don’t like how they made Buzz immature.

One thing I’m inquisitive about with the female + Female love is how she got pregnant? They are in space, so they have all the material and objects prepared into space? Did they have everything predicted like if they wanted to camp during the odyssey and get children without having any woes or trepidations about the upcoming peril. It’s another reason why it’s a nadir Pixar movie, it wasn’t thought through

Elementals has still lost millions of dollars. It needed to make $700 million to break even, it made $450 million.

Buzz Lightyear was clearly meant to be a "Transformers" type of franchise in-universe, he was not inspired by a movie, his toy inspired merchandise and movies. This movie could still be canon but as a "2010s live action reboot that a lot of people did not liked" for me.

They missed the point when they didn't start with an opening crawl titled Chapter 42:

When I first saw the trailer, I liked it. I was surprise it flopped, what bad reviews. I didn't see this movie in theater's, or Disney+

The gay kiss isn't what caused the movie to tank, but if they have it then it's indicative that the movie's gonna have other problems. The movie is straight up boring and the characters are extremely ugly other than Buzz himself because he's a legacy design. A Buzz Lightyear movie with no space and no aliens is stupid. It's like making a Star Trek movie but they crash land on a planet and we spend the entire movie watching them mine dilithium and constantly fail at it.

To this Day I will NEVER Understand why this Wasn't Just a CGI Remake of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command so we could get Booster, Mira Nova, XR, and Warp Darkmatter on Screen. Disney's No stranger to doing that to all of their other Movies to the point of Not just the Renaissance Films but LILO AND STITCH GETTING ONE IN THE PIPELINE! So Why not that one?

I would've preferred Warp Darkmatter being the main bad guy.

Regardless putting queerness into any movie is a HUGE turn-off. The vast majority of people are straight and while we accept that everyone has their choice who to sleep with, we don’t want that forced down our throats! I don’t even like ANY romance in my movies.

They should have said it was a REMAKE or REBOOT (or heck, even a prequel) of the show Andy watched, because there's _no way_ this movie could have been made in 1995. If its supposed to be live action in-universe, then their special effects are wayyy too good. If its supposed to be an _animated_ movie in-universe, that's also way too good for the time period... And most of all, they would NEVER have a lesbian couple kiss on-screen in a movie supposedly made around the time Andy was a kid. If the kiss was somehow "controversial" in today's time, can you imagine how much backlash they'd get in 1995? When same-sex couples were considered extremely taboo??? I can only suspend my disbelief so far.

This movie is everything wrong with current Disney. From milking franchises that should of ended on Toy Story 3, forcing LGBT reps, to ruining their legacy character(s) by the dozens

The prince of Egypt,The Matrix,Lion King(1997),Harry Potter Sorcerer Stone,Narnia The Lion Witch and Wardrob,Dreamwork Rise of Guardians,Nimona,Spiderverse,Sam Ramai Spider-Man and How to Train Dragon had great stories than this!

It didn’t work because this wasn’t believable as a 90’s action packed movie that Andy would be excited to see.

That opening text bothers me so much, because of how they're trying to pass this off as THE definitive Buzz Lightyear origin story, THE movie that inspired Andy in-universe to get the toy, when it ultimately proves to be anything but. Instead of a fun, imaginative action packed sci-fi adventure like one would expect this movie to be, it presents a boring convoluted slog that feels more catered to older audiences than the kids that would actually get invested in the character of Buzz, and retcons the lore that we all know from previous Toy Story movies and the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command show into something totally nonsensical. The opening text proves to be a big fat contradiction, a hollow lie to justify this movie's existence. Let's be real here, this is NOT the movie that Andy saw in 1995, this is the "darker and edgier" reboot of Buzz Lightyear that came out in Andy's adulthood and proved to be a let-down and a betrayal of its roots, much like what the sequel trilogy was to long-time Star Wars fans in the real world. I remember seeing announcements of Lightyear that gave the impression that it would be the in-universe biopic for the astronaut that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy. I guess THAT turned out to be a lie as well. On the plus side, the trailer did inspire a pretty kick-ass remix of David Bowie's "Starman".

Even though I thought the movie was okay, it felt more like I was seeing the “live-action remake” of the movie Andy watched when he was a boy. (If you know what I mean) 😑

Why didn't they make this movie similar to the light-year tv series

Lightyear is the live action remake of the move that andy saw.

Hi Sox is the only good thing in this movie You have to love the robot cat And this is massively disappointing because Buzz is one of my favorite Disney hero and characters So just seeing how badly they missed the mark with Lightyear disappointing Buzz Lightyear of star command did the Buzz vs Zurg thing much more better in my opinion because it was fun and funny As mature of fact way isn't that movie on Disney plus yet It deserves to be on there

This Buzz made me feel like it was Captain America, which Evans has portrayed. I think he channelled Steve in this movie and didn't try to be 'energetic' or 'humorous'. I didn't find the scenes funny, it was more serious than humorous. Sox was cute and most people who saw this film wanted Sox, not Buzz (I was one I like Sox, he's cute). Lightyear of Star Command was better suited with regard to what Andy watched - the film he saw and said "Mom I want a Buzz toy'. This movie made people want Sox than Buzz. Also, Buzz was his own enemy. Couldn't Zurg just be a robot or his father.

This movie is such a disaster it's hard to believe it really exists. What in the hell were they thinking?

i think buzz looks uncanny as hell tbh like more than any human character in the 1995 film he looks like that mr incredible meme

Maybe it's my own bias, but I wish Pixar would leave Toy Story alone and expand the world of The Incredibles.

Because it neeeded to be a Captain America meets Star Trek with a dash of Star Wars. Instead we got a dumbed down version of Interstellar. That's why... ...Oh and also because of its severe indentity crisis and ludicrous tone deaf recurring theme.

They could of done similar to his toy counterpart even fighting against his father and such, they should of done a film about that which would of worked better

Lightyear A movie with a villain It flopped Elemental A movie without a villain A success "BRING BACK DISNEY VILLAINS!" they said 😂😂

They stripped the film of everything you'd want and expect from a Buzz Lightyear film. Instead of to infinity and beyond it was to one dull, lifeless planet and no further. They sapped the color out of it. Gave us a group of annoying, boring characters. Where was Star Command and the big, colorful space action adventures? The Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon series is far better. It wasn't anything like a 90s sci-fi action movie that a little boy like Andy would watch and fall in love with. The human designs are so ugly too with the big ears and noses.

Am I the only one who thinks this movie is decent? Its kind of confusing, not as funny or wholesome as other Pixar movies and after the first 20 or so minutes it gets worse but it's kind of overhated imo. Elemental is much better though

The big question is why no LGMs ?

wow.......im far more glad that I never saw this movie because I would want my movie back

I really like lightyear it is better than Toy Story 4 and I really hope it gets a sequel

What they did to Zurg was what make me hate the movie.

Do you wanna know what I hate it the most that this was the movie and he watched and this is what inspired him to get a bus light-year toy but somehow can’t even keep a good continuity I mean like how in the world did they reckon Zerg from being buzz light year’s father to buzz light year’s future version of himself how how do you messed up that late? Can you just need to remember that scene from the second movie? It’s not that hard.

this movie feels like chris evans trying to justify steve rogers going back in time for peggy but using buzz lightyear as his cover

I wasn’t too sure this movie was very good right after I saw it in the theaters. 🤔😒

A quick reminder on the two women kissing criticism. Many people were annoyed with the preemptive "if you don't like this movie, you're homophobic" attitude. Because this type of delfection has been in full swing for years, it made people (correctly) suspect the film was going to be bad, and that angered the creators and actors enough to lash out at potential customers.

When I first saw the trailer I was so amazed and mind blown, I mean it just looked to beautiful with the beautiful music, no joke it almost made me cry. And I was so excited to see Buzz go up against Zurg on another planet with a big machine on and for them to be revealed that service actually his father, I was so excited that this was going to be a film coming in 2022 and I really really want it to be great…but no, instead it was the dumbest movie with the stupidest player that has nothing to do with anything that toy buzz said in the first movie, and I had stupid woke gay lesbians just to make itself look good, and worst of all, as you don’t know…Zurg is not him fucking father! I hate this movie so much because of how much potential and wasted and how it could’ve been so much more. Everything was so cringe and unfunny. I had literally no reaction after the first 10 minutes of watching it, and after I was just mad at it. This is the biggest disappointment that Pixar, or Disney has ever made, heck it’s the most disappointing movie in existence for me personally. I hope they never do anything like this ever again. I did like Sox tho

I do want to say in defense of the parents who didn't want they're kids to see Lightyear because of the whole gay agenda is because they didn't want to have to introduce the idea yet. Although, I do agree that Lightyear instead failed mainly do to it being a boring, completely degrading and ruining Buzz's character, a generic movie, and overall just not well made or well written

I swear that nobody watches movies/tv shows that came before.

Honestly i liked lightyear. Didn't understand all the hate

I thought lightyear would tell like how buzz became a space ranger and how he met commander nebula on morph(home planet based on tempus from morph buzz's original name with lunar larry) also i thought it explain buzz's parents i always wondered because of buzz lightyear of star command only mention his nana lightyear John Lasseter hates the cartoon series

I would have enjoyed the movie if it wasn't branded and made to look like a Buzz Lightyear movie, and instead just... was its own IP. So much of "Lightyear" was potentially interesting, but it wasn't Buzz Lightyear; it feels like one of those video game mods that just reskins all the characters.

Okay I'm going to defend certain things from toy story 2 with with actually happen in this movie in the time period Andy would have watched this movie. Video game adaptations might not be exactly what's going on here there's a good chance bus like you was a comic that has a movie adaptation on the way in a different company that has the game rights to us like you probably use the source materials to make the game months before the actual movie came out or even after showing two very different continues so I'm going to say Andy may have watched this and enjoyed it but the toy and merchandise had nothing to do with it.

Honestly when first heard of Lightyear I was excited at first but turning red I didn’t really care about when Saw yeah I was disappointed but turning red I love it and better then Lightyear

they’re shoving so much woke stuff on us in the new movies. a lot of people don’t want certain adult topics shown to their children and that’s a big reason why movies like this flopped.

I think a lot of people are missing the point that Lightyear might have been intended to be seen as a movie from the 90s, around the time Toy Story proper was released, and implied to take place in. Lightyear actually works if you view the film as a lost movie meant for the 1990s, that was only rediscovered in the present day. And don’t be “Umm, actually…”, you know what most movies from the 90s that aren’t Jurassic Park, or Independence Day, are like…

The movie looks and feels so bland. Nothing about it is interesting and the side characters are just boring humans compared to the colorful cast of different aliens from the show.

about two girls kissing? yeah im not for it. dont want this to be mainstream... me not buying tickets is just my message to them.

Even without the alphabet stuff in the movie, the story is just bad, and so much wasted potentials. Disney slapped wokeness on every recent movie to protect their ego when their movies was criticized. This stupid move prevents them form making the same mistake again and again, since they can blame everything on XX-ist to protect their glass made hearts, instead of learning from mistakes. The costumes of the seven non-dwarves in new Snow White is really hilariously bad, and that has nothing to do with politics. However, Disney won’t learn a thing, because they can blame anything on xx-ist again and again, till they become the face of bad movie company which attack fans repeatedly every single time they release a new movie.

Sometimes, a tale with a dark tone doesn't excuse its mediocre storytelling and this shows.

If you think about it this is like if Andy was all grown up and took his kids to see a Buzz Lightyear movie because he wants his kids to grow up with Buzz Lightyear like he did. Only to find out much to his major disappointment that it's nothing but a cash grab movie that doesn't even follow the character that he loved so much at all. Then he abandons it and forgets that it ever existed. Lol I saw someone in a comment actually mention that once on a Lightyear video but I added in that last part. Lol I love the movie, Lightyear, but I couldn't agree more and Disney and Pixar really should have known better.

The black guy was pretty much the son of the woman.

In All Honesty I Forgot This Movie Was Coming Out And I Watched On A Flight And Didn’t Like It The Only Good Thing Was The Animation Of Course

Note of rhis was a 90s era film there would be no gay scene period

Aside of it’s Problems and Flaws I Like Lightyear as an Alternated Reality, it’s a Solid Film but it wasn’t enough to save it and it’s a Bad Stain for Pixar, to me it’s an Overrated Movie that could be a Cult Following but even there’s Limits and Slim Chances.

Chris evens was ok but the movie was rushed. And now pixar has the same faith as star wars did

The Owl house had better is.....KISS!😎Eat it.

Lightyear: I’m the worst animated movie of 2022 The Sea Beast: bruh

Ya, this movie sucks. Go watch the deleted scenes.
