‘Lightyear’ Review: Pixar’s Latest Is OK, But “To Infinity & Beyond” Really Only Means To An Inevitable Sequel
Succinctly clarified in an opening title card, the conceit of “Lightyear,” Pixar’s latest feature and a tangential prequel to the “Toy Story” storyline, is far less bizarre than anticipated: what we are watching is supposed to be the popular sci-fi adventure that Andy, the young owner of all the beloved toys, loved back in 1995. The Buzz Lightyear we know, according to this fresh lore, is an action figure based on the fictional protagonist of this movie.
