Lightyear

Lightyear is a confusing film. It's definitely not bad. It fills its runtime with funny characters and engaging conflict, but the story is a bad choice for a kids' movie. It borrowed Interstellar's time dilation concept and mixed it with an evil future self plot which felt out of place and left my toddler disengaged. I was guessing that Zurg would end up being the rookie from the beginning but who Zurg ended up being was disappointing. I did enjoy the film, but its themes and script felt like a space adventure written for adults shoved into Pixar animated packaging. Lightyear's identity crisis distracted some from the overall film, and its story bit off a bit more than it could chew.
