Alert! This note contains a lot of freedom of thought. Given the great uproar over “Lightyear”, caused by Cineplanet’s ‘warning’ for content with “gender ideology” in the film, we went to see this commented Disney/Pixar bet. The result: a pleasant experience, which a child audience may not be able to appreciate in the same way as an adult one.
Let us make one point clear, with which it precisely begins “Lightyear”: This feature film is not a derivative story about the “Toy story” dolls, but it is the feature film that Andy went to see in 1995, and whose plot inspired the line of action figures Buzz Lightyear.
Now, with this precision in mind, the recently released film does not seek to establish a relationship with Woody and the rest of the toys, rather it shows us various connections with the astronaut that we saw in the main saga and that is precisely what evokes a feeling of great nostalgia, at least in those of us who are past our 20-something years of age.

An emotional journey to infinity and beyond
The plot brings us closer to buzz lightyear Already Alisha Hawthornea pair of battle-hardened space rangers who arrive on an uncharted planet (sound familiar?) to see if there’s a chance to settle there momentarily and rouse scientists from hypersleep.
However, they soon realize that they must abort the mission and return to space, due to the dangerous presence of living beings that want to kill them. Although they manage to enter the ship, the protagonist must align the flight course before crashing into a mountain, despite the fact that the assistant computer says that there will be imminent failure.
They then collide and lose the Crystal, a component that enables hyperflight. With this, the new mission is to develop a new Crystal so that they can escape from there. For this, it takes them a year to build the necessary structures, before Buzz embarks on the first test trip, which turns out to be a fiasco.
Upon his return, he discovers that what for him were a few minutes, in real life four years have passed. To cope with the feeling of failure, Hawthorne gives her to his best friend, a robot cat named Sox, who then becomes the burst of freshness and fun this coming-of-age story needs.
Overwhelmed by having failed, the space guardian decides to return to the ring and in this process he has the support of his friend. But with so many attempts and time against those who remain, “Lightyear” soon comes to terms with the death of one of the most important people in his life.

Is it worth watching the movie?
Without going into further details of the story (despite the previous spoilers), it is a fact that “Lightyear” is one of the best Disney / Pixar bets this year. It is not only that they reimagined a classic version for an audience that has already grown, but that they have done so without losing the essence of a saga already positioned in the memory of fans.
It’s like, by the end of all the footage, you realize why Andy’s space toy constantly thought he was on a mission to an uncharted planet, how he got his streamlined wings, you understand who Zurg is, and more. You feel that, after everything you have seen, you can think: “Now everything makes sense”.
Still, the character that many will probably grow fond of, even more than Buzz himself, is Sox, a kitty who has it all: he’s highly intelligent (because he’s a robot), empathetic, and funny (because he’s a robot). despite being a robot).
The feline full of circuits does not detract from the rest of his ‘co-stars’, but it is a necessary spark that balances the firm and even slightly pedantic attitudes of “Lightyear”, who looks more like a vertex for the rest of characters and their own evolution arcs.
As we mentioned in previous lines, the nostalgia factor is present from start to finish. “Lightyear” is a must-see movie for loyal Disney/Pixar fans. However, it is more likely that you will not be able to connect with children in the same way that you would with those who grew up watching “Toy story”. Is it worth seeing? Yes, totally.
