Liteyeah

They finally did it. A Lightyear movie. It was inevitable, with only two things being different now: Tim Allen isn't doing the voice (although why not the older Buzz?), and it doesn't actually match what they already established.

Buzz crashes a ship on a hostile planet, and so begins his quest to find a way off while people live lives around him. Which is an easy way of him being involved in the set up, then jumping so that he can see in the next generation of recruits, the sort of thing that would be a second movie. But there's a lot of story in this movie, and I felt like we were approaching the end when we were only about a third through it!

Ultimately, it's a fine movie. It's the standard "solo person needs to learn to work with a team" that works without doing anything challenging. Really feels like Pixar was running on automatic for this one.

But yes... I do want a Sox toy, so that worked.
