The Cinematic Schematic

Attention listeners, it appears we have landed on a strange movie in a bonus review of Lightyear, the movie that’s said to have inspired Andy’s love for the character of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story (1995). Is it a forgettable knock-off complete with a newly cast Buzz (Chris Evans), or have we entered into the next great spin-off phase for the beloved Pixar franchise? In this special edition of The Cinematic Schematic, we review Lightyear with Lauren Weingart from Video Peach Productions. We start things off with our routine ice breaker question, “If you could watch a movie one of your favorite toys was based on, which would you pick? Why, and what genre would it be?” We then jump into our spoiler-free review followed by an analysis-driven discussion around the film’s spoilers. Does Lightyear take the Toy Story franchise to infinity and beyond, or is this just a confused attempt at a cash grab? Tune in to hear our full review!
