This isn't the movie Andy saw. This was the reboot movie Andy goes to with his son to recapture his childhood. The Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon was what he watched as a kiddo.

[juanescobarrojas]

My biggest problem with this movie is the fact that it’s SOOO human centric. Where are the aliens, where is Star Command, where is this Galactic Alliance? It’s crazy because they had an amazing template with Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

[josegdiazperez]

It's incredible how a toy is more three dimensional than the character it's based off of.

[littleblueclovers]

This was supposed to be a 90’s movie that made Andy want to get a Buzz Lightyear action figure.
Out of all movies, this should’ve been the most lighthearted, action-oriented, movies.
It really felt like they should’ve saved this plot for a different occasion.

[Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus]

I don't know why Disney is so reclusive with true "villain" villains. It's ok to have a bad guy who's carried by his personality, rather than deep motivations

[Bss]

The fact that if this "movie" was what inspired the toy that Andy wanted...there is no fucking way That Andy would pick the fucking space man over the robot cat.

[bluelfsuma]

Hearing the summary of the plot is just, "...And you're saying this is a _Buzz Lightyear_ movie?"

It feels like those remakes of 80's cartoons that try way to hard to fit campy characters into gritty stories.
...It kinda is, isn't it.

[AschaVovina]

If they had kept Zurg as Buzz’s father it would have been much better, IMO. Like, Buzz goes missing and his dad goes into space looking for him, gets sent millennia into the future (or not), and gets corrupted by the evil robots.

[UltimateSuperX]

If this was the movie that Andy seen back in the 1995 then they should have gone all 90's theme, have Buzz be all about justice, have Zurg be a fun villain, like he knows what he is doing is considered evil but doesn't care because he likes being bad

[adnanasif]

after seeing this movie,
Its very hard to imagine that a 90's kid like Andy would be remotely interested in owning a buzz lightyear action figure after seeing this.

[pivotalpancake]

Honestly, the toy Buzz had more dimension to his character than the actual Buzz from the movie.
Which just proves Andy was much more better at " personifying" his toys with his play time imagination.

[mettatone.x.]

Zurg looked really cool in this movie, he was pretty intimidating, but it would've been so much better if they just let him be evil for the sake of it. Them having the stupid twist and trying too hard to make him more empathetic completely killed any intrigue I had for him. A movie is only as good as it's villain.

[icetide]

I really think they should've went into the overly-corny side of Buzz, since he was really meant to be based on stereotypical space cartoons and such. Same way Woody was a stereotypical cowboy toy. Being ironically cheesy and overly-corny would've worked really well (and also on the marketing side they could've also appealed to the nostalgia of older audiences as well. Let's be honest)
It would've been fun if it was a more comedic parody of old space cartoons, instead of trying to be a more modern space story.

[DaRealBruner]

I find it funny and weird how the design of Buzz Lightyear in Lightyear was based more so off the toy in Toy Story, rather than trying to make it seem like the toy was based off the character. Like, they've integrated buttons and things into the suit that were supposed to be for the laser and voice lines on the original toy. I feel like those buttons shouldn't have even been on the original character. it would've made more sense that they were added just for the toy.

[uhobme]

I remember some years back after Incredibles 2, Pixar saying they didn't want to make sequels to their previous projects anymore and focus on newer properties. Kinda curious what the sentiment is on this one internally.

[ellusiv]

After watching Lightyear, I can say it's not bad but no way in hell was it a fun movie for kids. Sox carried all the lightheartedness of the movie. Kids are also more visually impressed and the movie was mostly people talking.

[magnetoonproductions]

The Buzz Lightyear television series actually fit more into the spirit of the franchise. Apparently, John Lasstner wanted to make the show more serious, like Space Ghost, but since Disney went with the more comedic approach for the final product, he grew to resent the series and forbid it from being used in the main canon. Now that this movie came out, people are starting to talk about the series more.

[hideshisface]

Every time I hear about "subverting expectations", I just marvel at how it became a trope in itself... A trope that ate its own tail.
People started expecting the unexpected... And eventually "subverting the expectations" became a code word "lazy or plain bad writing".
You expected something good? Consider your expectation subverted!

[nathanstafford]

The animation alone makes me really want to like the movie because it's just so good, but I think you made a lot of really good points, and I definitely agree that it should have been more of what you said, with buzz exploring planets and zurg being the big bad guy, and having it be generally more like a cheesy but fun action movie.
