A spin off film of Buzz from The Toy Story, Lightyear follows the chronicles of Buzz who attempts to return home from a planet of robots. The story is your typical space adventure and had nothing new to offer. The screenplay standing at about a 100 minutes(not counting the end credits) offers a fast paced narrative.

The drama begins with the introduction of the protagonist while trying to escape from the planet. As predicted a mishap follows thereby stalling his progress. The start here is slightly wobbly although consistently watchable. There are also simplified concepts of science which are integrated in the screenplay, something that I really enjoyed.

While the drama is predictable and unfolds at a brisk pace, the one thing that was missing in the drama was the typical Disney emotions. Now you would think as to why would there be emotions in a Disney space adventure. But to my defense, there is a track on how team unity is important and the biggest of obstacles can be overcome by being united. While this message is good, it somehow did not touch you in any manner. This meant that there was an issue with the writing which seemed decent on paper but couldn’t evoke the emotions which you should have felt.

Despite this, the drama is consistently watchable where one event leads to another briskly leading up to a fun filled ride. Even the final act is pretty decent summing up the screenplay which is decent and watchable with a nice little message at the end.
