“Lightyear” (** out of four) was a disappointing Pixar children’s story about the space ranger Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Chris Evans- replacing Tim Allen) who spends years attempting to return home but on the way back encounters an army of robots led by the villainous Zurg (voice of James Brolin) who want to steal his fuel source. Perfectly watchable children’s animated tale but neither the story, characters, or animation are in the same leagues as the “Toy Story” series which this is based on and film is overall pretty ordinary. Tom Hanks and company are sorely missed.
