Movie review: Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ is an emotional, mind-bending space odyssey
“Lightyear,” the latest film from the animation powerhouses at Pixar, must have seemed like a sure thing to Disney executives. It’s got Chris Evans, still riding high off his uber-buzzy (no pun intended) success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s a prequel of sorts to a beloved Pixar title, something the studio has proven can work thanks to 2013’s well-received “Monsters University.” And the movie in question isn’t a Pixar title, it’s the Pixar title: “Toy Story,” a landmark event for the studio and the world of animation. That confidence seems to have been warranted.
