Lightyear Is Fantastic

Pixar's Lightyear
Pixar

I finally had the chance to watch Pixar's Lightyear yesterday and I absolutely loved it! The story is fantastic, a bit of a nod to 90s era sci-fi, which is perfect for a movie young Andy was supposed to have watched in 1995. The characters are wonderful, and they grow throughout the movie as good characters should. (Sox is definitely my favorite character!) I can see this one becoming a go-to favorite in my house.


Lightyear is now on DisneyPlus. It arrives on Blu-ray on September 13.
