I think my favorite theory about Future Buzz being Zurg is that he actually isn't the real Zurg. Remember Future Buzz just found this stuff after traveling at warp speed for who knows how long and how far. So it's entirely possible that he just stumbled onto one of the actual Zurg's ships in the Gamma Quadrant,stole it and used it to travel back in time.
That could be a great set up for another movie, buzz meets the real zurg and buzz is all like “how did future me come back” and zurg just blasts at him
Why would there need to be a "real" Zurg? The Zurg in this movie works well enough on his own in the context and tone of this universe. If there is a sequel, I see Zurg becoming obsessed with getting back at Buzz for taking away his chance at "finishing the mission", possibly killing one of his teammates to lead Buzz on a path of revenge that he eventually gives up on when he realizes that he's becoming just like him. It would be a much more interesting dynamic than just the cliché saturday morning cartoon hero/villain back-and-forth that their toy and cartoon versions had in Toy Story and BLoSC.
Honestly, for what Chris Evans does for Celebrity Voice Actors, he did a VERY good job replicating Tim Allen’s Iconic Voice while making it very much his own, while also very much feeling actual emotions and just general actual feelings than just “yahoo yippeee im mario”. I would like to see Chris Evans in more VA projects with other voice actors.
Two things. I feel like the intended audience are the original audience when Toy Story was still new. Mostly kids and teenagers at the time, now full adults. So there's a more serious tones. So definitely not a kids movie, but kids can still enjoy it if for no other reason than sox is funny and robots are cool. Second, I love that when Buzz finds out Alisha is engaged he instantly asks "What's HER name?" no awkward moment of Buzz finding out she's gay, if they're as close as they are then there's a good chance he would already know, or in this world it's normal to prefer the same sex. Was a little detail I loved.
I wouldn't be surprised if Buzz found out Alisha is a lesbian just by the way she looks at other girls during their academy days, and he wouldn't even question it since it's the future and think something like "guess I'm not her type"
When I watched Lightyear I couldn't get over the feeling that we learned so little about the people marooned, not even learning what they called the settlement as far as I remember (or even the vine thing or where they were originally meant to be going) then I wondered if there was much point in caring about whether Buzz succeeded or not.

@@TheFoolishnoob Or if he was interested the first time but obviously less interested each additional time and more frustrated that everyone's giving up until finally he doesn't even catch up with them, just takes a nap and goes back to using the ship, obviously fixated on that and that alone, which is where the quick cut begins that we see in the actual movie.
@@TheFoolishnoob Buzz is hard headed but he isn't that hard headed. He would have eventually saw what he was missing and that the people are just fine with the situation.

Sox is a great side-kick, I even bought a plysh version of him and put him on the dashboard of my truck along with my two minions, the smiles and looks you get from smaller childrens are priceless.
This movie wasn’t the Buzz Lightyear origin story I had in mind, but it was still very fun, and I appreciate them putting their own spin on Buzz’s (basically non-existent) mythos. Also that “Not today Zurg” scene? Pure fan-service and I loved every second of it.
Finally, someone who also saw what the Lightyear film was about! I seriously think what screwed this movie over was that it was supposed to be a film from the Toy Story timeline. If Pixar just made the Lightyear film, stating that it's actually an alternative universe where Buzz Lightyear exists, it may have avoided the controversy.
most of that is kind of the fault of one of the original writers of Toy Story. they hated the animated series Disney made based on Buzz and Star Command, since they didn't want it to be a comedy and instead a space opera type of story.
There was nothing wrong with this movie but people only criticised this movie because they tried to connect it to Toy Story. But I like to see it as it’s own rather than just a Toy Story spin-off. And as an original Pixar movie it’s near perfect.
Blowing into game cartridges actually did blow the dust out, the problem was it also blew moisture (spit) onto the contacts and caused corrosion in the cart and the system.
Actually, blowing into the cartridge helps nothing. It's the act of removing the cartridge from the console that allows you to try again when reinserting it to align the copper pins correctly. Just taking it out and putting it back in again would do the same thing. We just all assumed the blowing did something because, sure enough, when we did it--taking the cartridge out and putting it back in again in the process--it worked.
I think this film is a lot better than most give it credit for. It may have some problems, but I really do get the vibe that this was a passion project by people who loved Buzz Lightyear and wanted to do their own take on him. Like even if there was a hint of extending the Toy Story license in this on the corporate end, I think this was a better way to do it that keep on making sequels (despite loving Toy Story 4).
I love the implication that Old Buzz came across the Zurg ship, robots and suit and that somewhere in the future, there is an Evil Emperor Zurg, who now hates Buzz Lightyear.
One win you missed. When Buzz was stunned and asked, "You got engaged to someone you just met?", it mirrors the same scenario from Frozen yet almost plays off it when Alishia reasons it was 3 years ago they met. Just a tiny win there.
I think that is the problem why people were complaining, since they had their expactations for them to get together, completely ignoring that it couldn't be a lasting relationship with how much their lives drifted appart and they couldn't accept them to be just friends, cause man and women just can't be friends I guess....
Here's a list of suggestions to consider for after next week's EGA video: -The Peanuts Movie -Jurassic World: Dominion (Extended Edition) -A Bug's Life -The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition) -The Iron Giant -Night at the Museum -The Nightmare Before Christmas -Loki (Disney+ Series) -Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008 Film) -James and the Giant Peach
Would love to Jurassic World. That movie gets a lot of hate that I personally feel this very undeserved. Wasn't much more than a summer blockbuster but definitely wasn't the I had to leave the theater it was so bad can I please have the last 2 hours of my life back kind of terrible that people seem to make it out to be.
not going to lie, this movie really surprised me. i was expecting something really cringy but i felt like andy watching this movie in the 90s, getting all excited after it and wanting a buzz toy
After Turning Red, was really expecting this to be cringey as well to try and market towards Teens/Kids while making it so impossible as an adult to understand/care for it.
Word of God: Per Angus MacLane's comments, Lightyear wound up receiving a trilogy of films in the Toy Story universe, and *Buzz Lightyear of Star Command* was made as an *alternate canon Animated Adaptation* to those movies, sponsored by the in-universe Pizza Planet restaurant (hence the inclusion of the LGM aliens). The versions of Buzz and Zurg seen in the Toy Story movies are based on the toy-line made for the TV series and not for the movie.
While I didn't like the movie, I did like the theme how being obsessed with “finishing the mission” can ultimately destroy and turn you into a darker person.
As one of (the many) Buzz Lightyear lovers since I was a little kid and watching toy story on VHS, seeing this in theaters as a young adult was just. Emotionally and deeply fulfilling.
Personally, the music felt mediocre myself. Normally I don’t mind motifs repeating themselves in music, but in this case it felt repetitive in a way I wasn’t a fan of. It’s all subjective anyway, though, so I don’t why I bothered to write all this, lol.
I really really liked this movie, but I just kept feeling like it was missing something that I couldn't figure out what. Also, one major problem: there's no way Andy would've gotten a Buzz toy instead of a Sox toy.
It doesn’t even make sense why the Buzz you would have the gadgets and suit he has when they are so different in the movie, even the dialogue the toy says doesn’t match the lines in the movie
@@michaelvigil3436 For a 90's toy based off of a movie, the mismatch between toy and movie is one of the most realistic things they could have done. The differences could be blamed on the toy being based off of an earlier design, such as concept art, assuming the toy maker was trusted enough to get an authentic design. (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which came out in 1993, had a toy of the titular "Phantasm" with said toy being sold without their mask on. The mystery of who the character's identity was a key plot point of the movie. Whoops.) Also, as much of an improvement as Buzz's electronic recordings were over Woody's pull string, it's still very much 90's electronics squeezed into a fairly small action figure. The audio quality would be lacking, at best, even with the assumption that the toy maker would not get a cheaper substitute to record lines.
Same, I think it’s pretty underrated, even though it’s not the best Pixar movie and I think that’s the problem. People just compare it to Pixar’s usual output and just think it’s bad but I think there is some great elements in it
6:04 this whole segment about how seeing gay people exist won’t turn your kids gay, and how gay kids have been watching straight couples for years and are still gay, and how a lesbian couple just existing and being a couple isn’t political. Yes. Yes yes yes to all of it. I still can’t believe people threw a tantrum over a little peck between two consenting adults and made it political. Also this just made me love Cinema Wins even more.
I absolutely adored this movie. It was fun, creative and has amazing visuals. Its not perfect but it you can feel the passion that went into it. Thank you for making this video and highlighting all the positives of this film and story.
I also really enjoyed this movie and I actually teared up in the theater, when Buzz was looking at the photo of him and Alicia. It definitely has some flaws, but it was good fun!
OK, just realized that Buzz hating himself instead of accepting the reality they're in is so damn relatable and that is in a lot of characters, e.g. the Flash (Grant Gustin version).
9:32 from someone who plays Splatoon daily, the ink can work if you mix in some acid with it. If you notice your enemy in the game, they splat when the ink comes in contact with their skin or burn like if boiling water got onto your skin. But it should be possible to make deadly ink from Splatoon if possible
can't say i ever expected to see this comment... xD; Inklings and octolings just have a totally different chemical makeup.. according to an old developer interview, their skin is thin and even too much water pressure can hurt them, no acid needed pfbtbtb.
I'm surprised you didn't win Buzz jumping over Zurg and shooting him as he lands. You know, the move that Rex couldn't do on the game because his arms were too short but that Other Buzz does while fighting Zurg on the elevator?
Every time I hear that movie is supposed to be bad and I find a video of it here, I know that there is more to understand. Heck, you're the reason I gave Rise of Skywalker another shot and found that I enjoy it. Even if it isn't at the same level as the other films. So, thank you.
I have my own mini-theory for the "falling with style" button. Maybe, since the Lightyear movie is Andy's favorite movie, he watched it with Woody enough that Woody noticed that button, and he was referencing it when he said Buzz was just "falling with style."
@@chasehedges6775 Not to mention, Buzz, as a character, just felt out of place since he was voiced as Chris Evans. Tim Allen would've done a better job with the voice of Buzz in this movie.
@@reagtric9760 To me it makes sense for the "actor" of the movie Andy saw and his toy to have different voices. Mainly bc canonically they would be two different people. At least that's how I see it.
The only issue I had with the Lightyear was Zurg. He was menacing, his voices sounded cool, his design was great, and he seemed like a real threat to the heroes until he revealed who he really was. That is when the villain went downhill for me. If they never revealed who he was then he would have been more interesting despite the fact we would know less about him
I personally liked How they made Zurg a temporal tangent version of Buzz but when Buzz said "Dad?" Which can be what you story 2 also kind of hints at with Zurg being Buzz's dad.
But it would've detracted from the show's theme and Buzz's character growth (the realization). I think a better way of handling this would be to not include Zurg in the movie at all, but keep the Old Buzz.
The one issue I have with the premise of the film is the opening text saying this was the movie Andy saw in 1995. Because there was already an animated movie and show about Buzz lightyear that was implied to be what Andy saw in the Toy Story universe, which was Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (and Buzz essentially has the same arc in that movie as he dies in this one, minus the time travel and guilt over one mistake). This movie doesn’t look like it was from 1995, it isn’t written like it was from 1995, and doesn’t feel like it was from. I have the personal headcanon that this is the 2022 remake of the original 1995 movie that Andy saw. Or maybe the Toy Story universe was just very progressive with the characters,l and technologically advanced with its CGI way back in 1995
i like your thinking. i haven't watch the movie yet mainly because of the timeline thing and how it doesn't seem at all like it would be from back then but if we go with thats its actually a re-make it makes much more sense. people are always remaking old movies but adding more modern ideas and concepts into them.
I think the animated show made more sense in the Toy Story universe then this movie does but that being said I believe the creators of Toy Story said that the show isn’t canon. For one thing the little green men are a pizza planet toy that literally has nothing to do with Buzz but they added them to the cartoon because kids liked them in Toy Story.
Facts, people only cry about Lightyear because of a 0.25 second long scene and the fact that it's not Toy Story 5. Lightyear will always be my favorite Pixar movie.
One of the things that I liked the most was that, at the end (when they're launching into space before the credits), the clouds look like Andy's room clouds (well, the Toy Story clouds).
I loved Lightyear, it was a pretty fun movie to watch! i especially loved that they added that subtitle in the beginning adding a little bit of Toy Story's lore to this movies story!
My favorite thing in this movie was the friendship between Buzz and Alisha (and later Izzy), every scene between them was believable, and it's both beautiful and tragic that up to her dying day, Alisha kept Buzz in her thoughts.
You should do videos for Cartoon Saloon movies (Secret of Kelles, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner, Wolfwalkers), they’re quickly becoming one of the best animation studios in the world. Please & thank you 😊
One thing I think deserved a win, is that the first time that Buzz gets back from the hyperspace trip, he sees the ring on Alisha's finger and asks "Who is she?". Meaning he already knew that she was lesbian and the movie didn't have to go to the trouble of dialogue having to point it out.
This movie made both me and my wife cry on multiple occasions. Really went into it with an open mind and it paid off. Great flick. Also the bubbly floaty suit thing when you pull the lever is a reference to the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command movie, where they have something similar on their little ship What if Featheringhamston returns as… AGENT Z?!?!
3:10 Regardless of what is officially reported, you could put in a cartridge and it would not work, you could take it out again and put it back in, and it would not work, you could take it out, blow on it, put it back in, and it would work. My theory was that it was not about dust, but the moisture from your breath on the contacts that would make it work, as blowing hard was less likely to work than a gentle blowing.
I can’t help but think that Old Buzz’s line here 14:57 is a reference to TR-8R from Force Awakens. That, or I’m just too much of a SW fan And I think the sound of the computer rebooting on Zurg’s ship is the same one in Wall-E when the little guy gets Solar charged.
I started watching Lightyear with the intention of doing homework while doing so. I got 10 minutes in and had to restart the movie because I was getting so hooked! This movie was incredible, and I loved how they explored each character. I spent a good bit of time torturing myself with the 1 star reviews afterwards because I couldn't understand how ANYONE could really hate this movie. It's SUPPOSED to be different from Toy Story, even if it might be connected. I love seeing an ally make some light fun of all the outrage that this less than a second lesbian kiss seemed to spark. Thank you for using your platform to spread some love and respect for all shapes and sizes of people!
A few things of note, which could be pointed out as “this movie, that movie” trope, but I love the continuity from the straight to VHS movie for the spin-off tv show 20-ish years ago. Buzz losing a partner and not wanting to bring in newbies on a dangerous mission. Zerg wanting to enforce his will on the Space Rangers (mind control vs time travel… meh). Evil Buzz, which was actually in the show from another universe/timeline. The mission logs no one reads. And others besides. Considering THIS chronologically came before the TV Movie “In Universe”, it would make sense. Just thought I’d share my memory of the old movie and the similarities I noticed when watching this movie.
2:50 - The fact that the catchphrase is supposed to be done with another person retroactively makes the goodbye scene in Toy Story so much sadder (but doesn't improve the movie much). 16:47 - "Not today Zurg!" made this movie an instant classic for me. How dare you not win that! 18:51 - I kinda wish this movie was a tiny bit longer for that reason. 20:19 - I FREAKING LOVED KEKE PALMER IN THIS!!!
You mentioned seeing Izzy's reflection in the hemlet, but you can also see Buzz's, in the beginning, right in the scene you showed of him exploring the planet.
However it has been established that Pixar had disapproved of the Buzz Lightyear of star command tv series, they didn’t even make the show so I can see why they made the movie.
YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONNECT WITH FOR YEARS NOW THANK YOU. I watched Idle Hands with my dad when i was like 6 or so, before he passed. After he passed i never knew the name of it and couldn't find it again, and thanks to your comment i have. So thank you for that, it's one of my favorite memories of my time with him
The falling with style button does make sense I think. Since Andy loved the movie and that’s what got him into buzz, then he prolly watched the movie with woody and saw that button. It’s almost a paradox of what came first the chicken or the egg lol
Fun fact: The Director of this built every ship with LEGO 1st during the drafting stages due to a dislike of how most 3D sci-fi ships looks way to thin for what they need to be (Learned this from a vid where he & Adam Savage built the LEGO set for Lightlyear's ship)
Also something I pick up on watching this movie was the line Izzy has when she messes up. When someone else screws up, it's "just a mistake" but when it's your mistake that suddenly becomes a massive deal. Not gonna lie that (well the whole message throughout the film really but, that line in particular) really hit home.
8:21... Star Trak! Yay! You pronounced it exactly the way I do to annoy my Star Wars friends, pretending to confuse names/places/things (pro/nouns) with Sart Trek.
That's why we should all just enjoy something without the Internet and especially Reddit telling people to dislike something. Do yourselves a favor everyone, enjoy what you enjoy.
Sox saying “don’t miss.” gets me for some reason. Like, it’s almost an clever way to tell someone that they got this and you believe in them. Sox is a win.
I saw this movie when it finally came to Disney+ some days ago and I LOVED it. The opening was one of my favorite parts, the time skips and seeing Alisha age really hit me in the feels. I had to stop mid-way through the movie and it was on my mind constantly until I finally finished it. Pixar is truly amazing.
Lightyear was awesome, you did it the justice it deserved after all the hate it’s gotten. Also you should cover a Starkid play, they’re all hilarious and CRIMINALLY underrated
8:04 Woody was most likely with Andy when he was watching this movie on VHS. So Woody would obviously use that small detail against Buzz (or it was just in the back of his mind). Or it's just a reference.
The truth about the NES blowing cartridge is it did help but not the blowing part. The thing that work was adjusting the cartridge to align with the NES port. Taking it out repeat would eventually align the sensor through shear luck. And thus the myth was born.
And the actual problem with blowing on the connector of the cartridge was that you introduced more moisture onto the connector, bringing corrosion, which would make a worse connection in the long run.
The voice change actually makes some sense in the story, the toy buzz has a slightly different voice, and that makes sense! As audio is bit glitchy when recorded through a toy, usually sounds ethier muffled, or some voice spikes (when audio suddenly gets really loud) so yeah! I like this!
I thought it was really cool that they had a returning soldier vibe with Buzz, I think if you want to explain to a kid, about ptsd and stuff this film would pretty good in explaining and vibes
6:15. Holy hell I am so glad to hear someone else say this, because this has always been my view on LGBTQIA+ rights. They’re just people living their dang lives, it shouldn’t be considered political in any way. Supporting LGBTQIA+ rights should just be a baseline for being a decent human being, not a controversial social statement
the "Blowing into a nintendo cartridge" thing was a double edged sword. the moisture from your breath gave a temporary boost to the conductivity between the game and systems electrical contacts, making the unresponsive game work.....however, that same moisture accelerated the corrosion of those contact points, making it a downward spiral of diminishing returns. Every time you would blow on an unresponsive game to get it to work, it became more and more unresponsive. isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab, cleaning both game and system contact points (while unplugged obviously) and letting it completely dry is your best bet for longevity in your cartridge based games.
I just wanted to add

This movie wasn’t the Buzz Lightyear origin story I had in mind, but it was still very fun, and I appreciate them putting their own spin on Buzz’s (basically non-existent) mythos. Also that “Not today Zurg” scene? Pure fan-service and I loved every second of it.
Finally, someone who also saw what the Lightyear film was about! I seriously think what screwed this movie over was that it was supposed to be a film from the Toy Story timeline. If Pixar just made the Lightyear film, stating that it's actually an alternative universe where Buzz Lightyear exists, it may have avoided the controversy.
Yes! If only they didn't push sexual politics into a KIDS MOVIE. Your a fucklng idiot.
most of that is kind of the fault of one of the original writers of Toy Story. they hated the animated series Disney made based on Buzz and Star Command, since they didn't want it to be a comedy and instead a space opera type of story.
Are you saying basically make it a "inspired by true events" movie within the Toy Story universe? Because that does sound like a pretty cool idea.
There was nothing wrong with this movie but people only criticised this movie because they tried to connect it to Toy Story. But I like to see it as it’s own rather than just a Toy Story spin-off. And as an original Pixar movie it’s near perfect.
@@TheFoolishnoob I honestly thought that’s what they were going with
Blowing into game cartridges actually did blow the dust out, the problem was it also blew moisture (spit) onto the contacts and caused corrosion in the cart and the system.
Lol
Yeah, I learned eventually that you had to dry your mouth first
Actually, blowing into the cartridge helps nothing. It's the act of removing the cartridge from the console that allows you to try again when reinserting it to align the copper pins correctly. Just taking it out and putting it back in again would do the same thing. We just all assumed the blowing did something because, sure enough, when we did it--taking the cartridge out and putting it back in again in the process--it worked.
now all we need is a Woody's Roundup movie starring Paul Rudd
No starring Robert Downey Jr!

@@cupcakKe_express Hey you know what else we’ll need? Sigourney Weaver as Jessie and Kurt Russell as the Prospector!
I think this film is a lot better than most give it credit for. It may have some problems, but I really do get the vibe that this was a passion project by people who loved Buzz Lightyear and wanted to do their own take on him. Like even if there was a hint of extending the Toy Story license in this on the corporate end, I think this was a better way to do it that keep on making sequels (despite loving Toy Story 4).
I love the implication that Old Buzz came across the Zurg ship, robots and suit and that somewhere in the future, there is an Evil Emperor Zurg, who now hates Buzz Lightyear.
oh sh*t . . . youre totally right! im both terrified and excited! XD
One win you missed. When Buzz was stunned and asked, "You got engaged to someone you just met?", it mirrors the same scenario from Frozen yet almost plays off it when Alishia reasons it was 3 years ago they met. Just a tiny win there.
I liked how Alisha having a wife was relatively downplayed and normalised, and that she and Buzz were platonic besties.
I loved her character, and loved how they didn't try to use it, it just was who she was and it wasn't anything different.
Not with the lgbtq but I’m glad that they normalized it
I think that is the problem why people were complaining, since they had their expactations for them to get together, completely ignoring that it couldn't be a lasting relationship with how much their lives drifted appart and they couldn't accept them to be just friends, cause man and women just can't be friends I guess....
When the kiss happened, I literally looked at my gf and said "That's it? That's what all this fuss was about?"

Here's a list of suggestions to consider for after next week's EGA video:
-The Peanuts Movie
-Jurassic World: Dominion (Extended Edition)
-A Bug's Life
-The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Extended Edition)
-The Iron Giant
-Night at the Museum
-The Nightmare Before Christmas
-Loki (Disney+ Series)
-Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008 Film)
-James and the Giant Peach
What about avatar the blue people one
OR your own opinion on Light-year movie ?
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM! YES!
Would love to Jurassic World. That movie gets a lot of hate that I personally feel this very undeserved. Wasn't much more than a summer blockbuster but definitely wasn't the I had to leave the theater it was so bad can I please have the last 2 hours of my life back kind of terrible that people seem to make it out to be.
@@creeperking8702 do you actually need somebody to tell you why that movie is great
not going to lie, this movie really surprised me. i was expecting something really cringy but i felt like andy watching this movie in the 90s, getting all excited after it and wanting a buzz toy
After Turning Red, was really expecting this to be cringey as well to try and market towards Teens/Kids while making it so impossible as an adult to understand/care for it.
That was Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. You got the two confused, you goober.
Word of God: Per Angus MacLane's comments, Lightyear wound up receiving a trilogy of films in the Toy Story universe, and *Buzz Lightyear of Star Command* was made as an *alternate canon Animated Adaptation* to those movies, sponsored by the in-universe Pizza Planet restaurant (hence the inclusion of the LGM aliens). The versions of Buzz and Zurg seen in the Toy Story movies are based on the toy-line made for the TV series and not for the movie.
I want a Woody movie as a bad ass western with Jessie and Bull's Eye and all that jazz.
I feel like they could've had Woody cameo at the end of this movie, had they not said that it's the movie Andy watched
While I didn't like the movie, I did like the theme how being obsessed with “finishing the mission” can ultimately destroy and turn you into a darker person.
Agreed, that was a neat takeaway, though I wish that the rest of the movie had lived up to the same standard.
Aye it was a good idea that i wished was in a better movie.
Yeah could’ve been better but it wasn’t the worst thing in the world.
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself as a villian."
That seems oddly weird considering Buzz was literally badass the whole movie
As one of (the many) Buzz Lightyear lovers since I was a little kid and watching toy story on VHS, seeing this in theaters as a young adult was just. Emotionally and deeply fulfilling.
aaayyy! lets gooo! i also have toy story on vhs. glad to see another person values childhood nostalgia.
Yes. Admittedly I saw it on DVD, but still, when I saw it at home, I let out a decently loud “yes!” when he got his jet pack.
I still love that Buzz asked "Who is she?" When she said she got engaged. So supportive ❤️
Despite the debatable plot of this film, the animation style and music was absolutely ON POINT in this movie! I wouldn’t mind a sequel!
The Animation in this movie is stunning.
Personally, the music felt mediocre myself. Normally I don’t mind motifs repeating themselves in music, but in this case it felt repetitive in a way I wasn’t a fan of. It’s all subjective anyway, though, so I don’t why I bothered to write all this, lol.
This makes me jealous of the toy story universe. Their animation was this good in the 90’s?!
Fells like a sequel is planed
Maybe it could turn into a whole new Toy Story 2, where somehow the sequel is better than the 1st one.
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE. It’s life changing
Came here to say this.
Would be perfect for the last video before the new year.
agreeeeeeeeeeed!
Aa, yes please. It's a 10/10 score for me, first time for a live action movie rating in mine 😄😄
I really really liked this movie, but I just kept feeling like it was missing something that I couldn't figure out what.
Also, one major problem: there's no way Andy would've gotten a Buzz toy instead of a Sox toy.
Word of God is that all the Sox toys were sold out when Andy's mom tried to get them for his bday.
@@phousefilms yep that checks out
@@phousefilms so you're saying Buzz is the Booster to Sox's Turboman?
It doesn’t even make sense why the Buzz you would have the gadgets and suit he has when they are so different in the movie, even the dialogue the toy says doesn’t match the lines in the movie
@@michaelvigil3436 For a 90's toy based off of a movie, the mismatch between toy and movie is one of the most realistic things they could have done.
The differences could be blamed on the toy being based off of an earlier design, such as concept art, assuming the toy maker was trusted enough to get an authentic design. (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, which came out in 1993, had a toy of the titular "Phantasm" with said toy being sold without their mask on. The mystery of who the character's identity was a key plot point of the movie. Whoops.)
Also, as much of an improvement as Buzz's electronic recordings were over Woody's pull string, it's still very much 90's electronics squeezed into a fairly small action figure. The audio quality would be lacking, at best, even with the assumption that the toy maker would not get a cheaper substitute to record lines.
I'm so excited for Nope next week! It's my favorite movie of this year
I’m glad to see this movie getting some positivity, I enjoyed it! Maybe not in my top 10 of Pixar movies, but I liked what they did with Buzz’s story.
Same, I think it’s pretty underrated, even though it’s not the best Pixar movie and I think that’s the problem. People just compare it to Pixar’s usual output and just think it’s bad but I think there is some great elements in it
6:04 this whole segment about how seeing gay people exist won’t turn your kids gay, and how gay kids have been watching straight couples for years and are still gay, and how a lesbian couple just existing and being a couple isn’t political. Yes. Yes yes yes to all of it. I still can’t believe people threw a tantrum over a little peck between two consenting adults and made it political.
Also this just made me love Cinema Wins even more.
Me too
IKR
I wouldn’t have cared much if there was more of it. But you literally only see lesbians for 3 whole seconds of the movie. And then the couple dies.
Maybe the real Featheringhamstan are the friends we made along the way
I absolutely adored this movie. It was fun, creative and has amazing visuals. Its not perfect but it you can feel the passion that went into it.
Thank you for making this video and highlighting all the positives of this film and story.
I also really enjoyed this movie and I actually teared up in the theater, when Buzz was looking at the photo of him and Alicia. It definitely has some flaws, but it was good fun!
OK, just realized that Buzz hating himself instead of accepting the reality they're in is so damn relatable and that is in a lot of characters, e.g. the Flash (Grant Gustin version).
9:32 from someone who plays Splatoon daily, the ink can work if you mix in some acid with it. If you notice your enemy in the game, they splat when the ink comes in contact with their skin or burn like if boiling water got onto your skin. But it should be possible to make deadly ink from Splatoon if possible
can't say i ever expected to see this comment... xD;
Inklings and octolings just have a totally different chemical makeup.. according to an old developer interview, their skin is thin and even too much water pressure can hurt them, no acid needed pfbtbtb.
@@Silcoonsixx but for us, acid kills XD
I'm surprised you didn't win Buzz jumping over Zurg and shooting him as he lands. You know, the move that Rex couldn't do on the game because his arms were too short but that Other Buzz does while fighting Zurg on the elevator?
Finally. Someone else who likes the movie. I really hope Pixar give us a sequel. To Infinity... and Beyond.
Every time I hear that movie is supposed to be bad and I find a video of it here, I know that there is more to understand.
Heck, you're the reason I gave Rise of Skywalker another shot and found that I enjoy it. Even if it isn't at the same level as the other films.
So, thank you.
The most important thing at the end of the day is that you're entertained.
I have my own mini-theory for the "falling with style" button. Maybe, since the Lightyear movie is Andy's favorite movie, he watched it with Woody enough that Woody noticed that button, and he was referencing it when he said Buzz was just "falling with style."
That makes a lot of sense.
This movie was so so good. I was so invested the whole time
It was meh for me but I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
The scene with the last finger touch with buzz’s friend really got me so hard, I genuinely teared up right as it happened.
To bad it wont get a sequel
A film I felt got unfairly hated before coming out, but ended up being a solid and fun family sci-fi adventure.
Yeah!
Nah, it's meh reception was kinda deserved. The plot didn't make much sense and felt rushed and the characters were kinda bland.
@@chasehedges6775 Plot definitely made sense, I do think some of the critics are fair though
@@chasehedges6775 Not to mention, Buzz, as a character, just felt out of place since he was voiced as Chris Evans. Tim Allen would've done a better job with the voice of Buzz in this movie.
@@reagtric9760 To me it makes sense for the "actor" of the movie Andy saw and his toy to have different voices. Mainly bc canonically they would be two different people.
At least that's how I see it.
People didn't like this movie?!?!! I loved it! Its the absolute perfect balance of action, humor, and heart. I'd say one of my favorite Pixar movies
FINALLY positivity about this movie! I love it a whole lot! Thank you for this my friend
The only issue I had with the Lightyear was Zurg. He was menacing, his voices sounded cool, his design was great, and he seemed like a real threat to the heroes until he revealed who he really was. That is when the villain went downhill for me. If they never revealed who he was then he would have been more interesting despite the fact we would know less about him
I personally liked How they made Zurg a temporal tangent version of Buzz but when Buzz said "Dad?" Which can be what you story 2 also kind of hints at with Zurg being Buzz's dad.
I concur with this.
But it would've detracted from the show's theme and Buzz's character growth (the realization). I think a better way of handling this would be to not include Zurg in the movie at all, but keep the Old Buzz.
We all know real Zurg is coming in a sequel
The one issue I have with the premise of the film is the opening text saying this was the movie Andy saw in 1995. Because there was already an animated movie and show about Buzz lightyear that was implied to be what Andy saw in the Toy Story universe, which was Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (and Buzz essentially has the same arc in that movie as he dies in this one, minus the time travel and guilt over one mistake).
This movie doesn’t look like it was from 1995, it isn’t written like it was from 1995, and doesn’t feel like it was from. I have the personal headcanon that this is the 2022 remake of the original 1995 movie that Andy saw.
Or maybe the Toy Story universe was just very progressive with the characters,l and technologically advanced with its CGI way back in 1995
i like your thinking. i haven't watch the movie yet mainly because of the timeline thing and how it doesn't seem at all like it would be from back then but if we go with thats its actually a re-make it makes much more sense. people are always remaking old movies but adding more modern ideas and concepts into them.
Maybe it's like Ghostbusters, where there was a movie AND an animated show that followed.
I think the animated show made more sense in the Toy Story universe then this movie does but that being said I believe the creators of Toy Story said that the show isn’t canon. For one thing the little green men are a pizza planet toy that literally has nothing to do with Buzz but they added them to the cartoon because kids liked them in Toy Story.
@@DaveMcAnulty and Tim Allen is basically the Jim Hanks of that universe (since he voices the toys)
Or, like tons of other movies, they put a ton of effort into details, and no one thought through the big picture.
This is easily the Treasure Planet of Pixar. It will become a classic later on.
Watched Lightyear just to watch this video and MAN this movie is underrated! Gave me a lot of respect for Andy, dude’s got taste
It's more mature than anything Pixar has done. The Treasure Planet of Pixar, also it's gorgeous to look at.
Honestly, it's safe to say that most of Pixar's newer movies are criminally underrated.
Facts, people only cry about Lightyear because of a 0.25 second long scene and the fact that it's not Toy Story 5. Lightyear will always be my favorite Pixar movie.
One of the things that I liked the most was that, at the end (when they're launching into space before the credits), the clouds look like Andy's room clouds (well, the Toy Story clouds).
I loved Lightyear, it was a pretty fun movie to watch! i especially loved that they added that subtitle in the beginning adding a little bit of Toy Story's lore to this movies story!
3:10
Yeah, as I’ve heard, it wasn’t the blowing that helped, it was taking it out and putting it back in repeatedly that helped
My favorite thing in this movie was the friendship between Buzz and Alisha (and later Izzy), every scene between them was believable, and it's both beautiful and tragic that up to her dying day, Alisha kept Buzz in her thoughts.
You should do videos for Cartoon Saloon movies (Secret of Kelles, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner, Wolfwalkers), they’re quickly becoming one of the best animation studios in the world. Please & thank you 😊
I've suggested Wolfwalkers multiple times now under multiple videos xD
6:03 I had literally the exact same reaction when watching this in theaters. Reading the reviews made me go insane at how insane some people are.
You could have mentioned at 15:53 that sox landed on his feet like a real cat would, which i thought was really cute.
One thing I think deserved a win, is that the first time that Buzz gets back from the hyperspace trip, he sees the ring on Alisha's finger and asks "Who is she?". Meaning he already knew that she was lesbian and the movie didn't have to go to the trouble of dialogue having to point it out.
5:18 Buzz's default fight pose is so funny that it's cool.
This movie made both me and my wife cry on multiple occasions. Really went into it with an open mind and it paid off. Great flick.
Also the bubbly floaty suit thing when you pull the lever is a reference to the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command movie, where they have something similar on their little ship
What if Featheringhamston returns as… AGENT Z?!?!
3:10 Regardless of what is officially reported, you could put in a cartridge and it would not work, you could take it out again and put it back in, and it would not work, you could take it out, blow on it, put it back in, and it would work. My theory was that it was not about dust, but the moisture from your breath on the contacts that would make it work, as blowing hard was less likely to work than a gentle blowing.
I watched your Elysium and Moonfall videos! I actually watched Moonfall because of your video!
Five hours ago? 😭

I can’t help but think that Old Buzz’s line here 14:57 is a reference to TR-8R from Force Awakens.
That, or I’m just too much of a SW fan
And I think the sound of the computer rebooting on Zurg’s ship is the same one in Wall-E when the little guy gets Solar charged.
2:41, that’s also what Buzz asked Santa Claus in the Christmas Special
I started watching Lightyear with the intention of doing homework while doing so. I got 10 minutes in and had to restart the movie because I was getting so hooked! This movie was incredible, and I loved how they explored each character. I spent a good bit of time torturing myself with the 1 star reviews afterwards because I couldn't understand how ANYONE could really hate this movie. It's SUPPOSED to be different from Toy Story, even if it might be connected.
I love seeing an ally make some light fun of all the outrage that this less than a second lesbian kiss seemed to spark. Thank you for using your platform to spread some love and respect for all shapes and sizes of people!
A few things of note, which could be pointed out as “this movie, that movie” trope, but I love the continuity from the straight to VHS movie for the spin-off tv show 20-ish years ago.
Buzz losing a partner and not wanting to bring in newbies on a dangerous mission.
Zerg wanting to enforce his will on the Space Rangers (mind control vs time travel… meh).
Evil Buzz, which was actually in the show from another universe/timeline.
The mission logs no one reads.
And others besides.
Considering THIS chronologically came before the TV Movie “In Universe”, it would make sense.
Just thought I’d share my memory of the old movie and the similarities I noticed when watching this movie.
2:50 - The fact that the catchphrase is supposed to be done with another person retroactively makes the goodbye scene in Toy Story so much sadder (but doesn't improve the movie much).
16:47 - "Not today Zurg!" made this movie an instant classic for me. How dare you not win that!
18:51 - I kinda wish this movie was a tiny bit longer for that reason.
20:19 - I FREAKING LOVED KEKE PALMER IN THIS!!!
You mentioned seeing Izzy's reflection in the hemlet, but you can also see Buzz's, in the beginning, right in the scene you showed of him exploring the planet.
The bots from zurg are like the tfp troopers when megs is mad
I was genuinely surprised by its adept commentary on failure and chasing a goal too much.
18:06, people expected it to be more like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
That is true.
However it has been established that Pixar had disapproved of the Buzz Lightyear of star command tv series, they didn’t even make the show so I can see why they made the movie.
Genuinely don't understand why people didn't like this movie, it's so friggin good
I've been saying that about every Disney and Pixar movie for at LEAST five years.
YOU JUST UNLOCKED A MEMORY I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONNECT WITH FOR YEARS NOW THANK YOU. I watched Idle Hands with my dad when i was like 6 or so, before he passed. After he passed i never knew the name of it and couldn't find it again, and thanks to your comment i have. So thank you for that, it's one of my favorite memories of my time with him
I've learned that I enjoy movies more if I watch your take on them first. Now I can go watch Lightyear. Thanks for another great video!
Imagine in the second movie, Zurg makes an evil clone of Buzz and they have the same confrontation seen in toy story 2
I love that there are lights inside the helmets because movie space suits have to have lights in the helmets.
4:09 I love when the vines randomly became a metaphor for high cholesterol.
Really liked this movie, I really hope it gets a sequel :D
Great video as always, you have a way of ramping up my enthusiasm for a film 10 fold ^.^
The falling with style button does make sense I think. Since Andy loved the movie and that’s what got him into buzz, then he prolly watched the movie with woody and saw that button. It’s almost a paradox of what came first the chicken or the egg lol
Fun fact: The Director of this built every ship with LEGO 1st during the drafting stages due to a dislike of how most 3D sci-fi ships looks way to thin for what they need to be
(Learned this from a vid where he & Adam Savage built the LEGO set for Lightlyear's ship)
Maybe he should have asked for a better ending instead of playing with Legos.
@@AlexReynard The writing and design departments are two different things y'know?
Also something I pick up on watching this movie was the line Izzy has when she messes up. When someone else screws up, it's "just a mistake" but when it's your mistake that suddenly becomes a massive deal. Not gonna lie that (well the whole message throughout the film really but, that line in particular) really hit home.
with izzy jumping into space the lesson is “the scariest path is sometimes the best path”
8:21... Star Trak! Yay! You pronounced it exactly the way I do to annoy my Star Wars friends, pretending to confuse names/places/things (pro/nouns) with Sart Trek.
As one who appreciated Moonfall for what it offered and loved watching the CinemaWins video, all the Moonfall reference jokes were much appreciated 👍
In a world filled with criticism that simultaneous helps movies but also prevents people from just enjoying them, I'm glad that this channel exists.
That's why we should all just enjoy something without the Internet and especially Reddit telling people to dislike something. Do yourselves a favor everyone, enjoy what you enjoy.
Sox saying “don’t miss.” gets me for some reason. Like, it’s almost an clever way to tell someone that they got this and you believe in them.
Sox is a win.
I saw this movie when it finally came to Disney+ some days ago and I LOVED it. The opening was one of my favorite parts, the time skips and seeing Alisha age really hit me in the feels. I had to stop mid-way through the movie and it was on my mind constantly until I finally finished it. Pixar is truly amazing.
I think the reason this film got a lot of hate was because it ignored the Star Command series lore (I never saw it, so it didn't bother me)
15:15 “literally everything is in space”- Rick Sanchez
Everything Great About The Prince of Egypt PLEASE!!!
15:48 you just had to ruin a perfectly good saturday evening by remining me of Bing Bong
Lightyear was awesome, you did it the justice it deserved after all the hate it’s gotten.
Also you should cover a Starkid play, they’re all hilarious and CRIMINALLY underrated
I agree on a spiritual level with this comment
Taika as mo is such a good cast. He is hilarious. "I GOT THE PEN!"
Absolutely loved this film, so happy that so many people appreciate it as well🙌
8:04 Woody was most likely with Andy when he was watching this movie on VHS. So Woody would obviously use that small detail against Buzz (or it was just in the back of his mind). Or it's just a reference.
The truth about the NES blowing cartridge is it did help but not the blowing part. The thing that work was adjusting the cartridge to align with the NES port. Taking it out repeat would eventually align the sensor through shear luck. And thus the myth was born.
And the actual problem with blowing on the connector of the cartridge was that you introduced more moisture onto the connector, bringing corrosion, which would make a worse connection in the long run.
The voice change actually makes some sense in the story, the toy buzz has a slightly different voice, and that makes sense! As audio is bit glitchy when recorded through a toy, usually sounds ethier muffled, or some voice spikes (when audio suddenly gets really loud) so yeah! I like this!
I 100% agree with your conclusion. I heard all the negative comments about it so I waited till it came out on D+ and I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was really cool that they had a returning soldier vibe with Buzz, I think if you want to explain to a kid, about ptsd and stuff this film would pretty good in explaining and vibes
6:15. Holy hell I am so glad to hear someone else say this, because this has always been my view on LGBTQIA+ rights. They’re just people living their dang lives, it shouldn’t be considered political in any way. Supporting LGBTQIA+ rights should just be a baseline for being a decent human being, not a controversial social statement
the "Blowing into a nintendo cartridge" thing was a double edged sword. the moisture from your breath gave a temporary boost to the conductivity between the game and systems electrical contacts, making the unresponsive game work.....however, that same moisture accelerated the corrosion of those contact points, making it a downward spiral of diminishing returns. Every time you would blow on an unresponsive game to get it to work, it became more and more unresponsive. isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab, cleaning both game and system contact points (while unplugged obviously) and letting it completely dry is your best bet for longevity in your cartridge based games.
You should do a counter on how many times you said Featheringhamstan
6:05
My thoughts exactly. The whole internet has me worried, but I’m glad it wasn’t anything HUGE like the internet would have you think
Yeah after I saw that, people were overreacting so badly, like what the hell
