Lightyear: 6 Games To Play After Watching

Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear is out now… and it’s fine? Unfortunately, the film lacks the creative spark that makes Pixar’s library so remarkable. Nonetheless, it’s a breezy, familiar sci-fi adventure that’s worth two hours of your time. But, those two hours will be better spent when it invariably comes to Disney+.

Clearly many people feel similarly, as Lightyear is deeply underperforming at the box office. There’s plenty of Disney to watch at home, after all.

This one is for the adults that took their kids to see Lightyear. There’s a cheeky parallel between Buzz’s design at the beginning of the film and Master Chief’s 343i redesign. Funnily enough, the art direction feels somewhat parallel on the whole.

At the heart of Lightyear is a desire to escape an alien world that our heroes have crash-landed on. Replace Lightyear with Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and the premise is the same! The two properties greatly diverge beyond that, but nonetheless, the underlying concepts are aligned.
