Pixar’s new animated film media word-of-mouth release, the current ‘Lightyear’ Rotten Tomatoes fresh rating of 84% (69 reviews), MetaCritic composite score of 59/100 (29 reviews), such a rating for Pixar can only be considered ordinary.
Positive reviews affirm the voice performance of “Captain America” Chris Evans, as well as some science fiction elements and visual effects; negative reviews focus on the storyline confusion, and Pixar let people expect the standard does not match.

Media commentary excerpts.
‘Variety’: As a spin-off film from one of the greatest and enduring series of contemporary animation, ‘Toy Story’, it is one of those Pixar works that feels like half a Disney movie.
‘The Hollywood Reporter’: A joyful spin-off with suspense and emotion, Chris Evans gives the main character a beautiful voice, balancing heroism with human frailty with his full-blooded passion.
‘Empire’: Despite the confusing plot and uninteresting villain, strong voice acting and amazing visual effects, as well as Sox meowing, make ‘Lightyear’ a good space adventure film.
‘Entertainment Weekly’: Kids will love ‘Lightyear’ and adults are enjoying it. The only reason this film didn’t live up to expectations is that Pixar stretched everyone’s expectations too high.
Screen Rant’: The film is a clever expansion of Pixar’s popular series ‘Toy Story’, full of funny moments, warm emotions and very gorgeous scenes.
‘Screen Daily’: One of Pixar’s most popular characters gets an origin story, but it’s a bland sci-fi adventure without the wit and wonder it once had.
‘Rolling Stone’: In essence, it’s a light-hearted, enjoyable, better-than-average Disney movie that just happens to meet the most rewarding Pixar characters, but hardly resembles a Pixar movie at all.
