hey guys.com for all of your film and tv goodness lots of stuff coming up in the next few weeks and
there's lots of films and we're back for another review and we're going to be talking about disney
and pixar's light year to infinity and beyond the movie that the toy is based on and the toy is in
toy story in 1995 if i'm right that's right yeah yeah it's basically i think the film starts by
saying in in the toy story he's playing with this toy and this is the toy the film came from
yeah if are under any illusions as to what the film's about this isn't buzz lightyear origin
story it's the story of the real buzz lightyear uh before he became a toy and was voiced by him
which i think is actually really clever which i think is really clever i think
they found a really good way of doing this and i'm actually quite impressed yeah maybe we'll get uh
you know maybe we'll get like a pixar version of a clinton eastwood film that will be about woody
yeah and who knows who knows anyway light year is in cinemas on june the 17th
17th all right i think next friday next friday or this friday as you're watching oh yeah this
friday coming this friday as we're recording this and uh yeah it's in cinemas it's friday in the us
and the uk on both places uh a plethora of voice talents led by captain america himself chris evans
as the infamous buzz lightyear on his first or one of his one of his missions not his first
taking over from tim allen taking over from tim allen yeah who does the voice
he's the he's the computer chip version of the voice in the toy yeah it translates it transpires
uh anyway it's out this week and we thought we'd give you uh some thoughts as we both we've both
seen it uh obviously the toy story franchise has gone for four films four films strong it's now
having its first kind of spin-off there's been spin-offs you know straight to video shorts all
that kind of stuff this is kind of a big uh a big thing uh linda how what did you feel about
you said there that you thought it was a very very good idea and you thought was quite clever way of
of doing things so does the film deliver on that premise i i i think yeah i'm actually quite happy
that it wasn't it's not within the realm of tough toy story itself because i felt like it had done
what it needed to do and it was time to sort of pack up and go and um i was quite happy that we
didn't go back to sort of them being toys and yeah i thought it was a fantastic idea
and and i really genuinely think they've done a really good job of sort of giving it its own life
its own sort of uh entity and possibly creating a brand new franchise through this so yeah i i
liked it i think i think it's really well done well that's that's the important thing i guess
another another franchise yeah i always i always thought toy story four i was like i don't we don't
need toy story for toy story toy story 3 is just perfect it's it's perfect it's perfect that's the
word um but then toy story 4 is really good so i don't know i don't know yeah i agree i mean i
think toys i think i was the only person who thought toy story 4 wasn't five star perfect
no in my opinion i i thought it was unnecessary and um it only existed because
it was making money he was going to make tons of money for disney and pixar uh but i couldn't
have done without it quite frankly strangely ultimately i think that's my opinion of this
film not in a negative way but oh really okay i just feel i just feel like i enjoyed it it's good
fun it's great it's great fun in places yeah um some of it doesn't quite work but some of it does
work and it's it's perfect as pixar pixar don't make bad films they make some average films but
they don't make bad films and this this is this is uh it's not a top tier pixar but middle tier
pixar is pretty damn good uh and i thought it was very good but i thought afterwards it was
enjoyable in the moment but also i thought i forgot about it but i just figured i just thought
it hasn't changed like i didn't really need it not in a nasty way or a negative way yeah yeah
i know there was no real need for it but i had a good time watching it so i i i agreed uh an
enjoyment bit but i really genuinely love this as someone who loves space movies i am
like a stickler for sort of you know for a space movie i thought it was a really good homage to
and it did it pretty well almost all the space movies but also it really knew it stuff you know
it did um an interstellar did battlestar galactica it did all sorts in there and i
just thought it was really cleverly done and very funny and there's a little at the beginning of the
film there's a really small montage you know uh i i'm not gonna give away too much because
i i we're gonna say what it's about anyway but um there's a little montage about 15 minutes into
the movie which i found really touching almost as touching as at up the montage oh yes i know well
done it was so well done and only pixar can do that honestly um this is the difference between
we were talking about um uh jurassic park uh just world dominion the other day about having
the sixth sense of what moves people is really important in film and i think pixar have really
cracked that uh that's the difference between a a writer writers who understand
their um audience and those who are doing things by the number as we said before
uh i just thought it was so cleverly done and so beautiful and i it worked on so many levels for me
uh as i said like as a hardcore space movie fan i i it ticked all the boxes for me i really liked it
yeah i enjoyed it i enjoyed it um i thought it wore thin a little bit towards the end
particularly uh there's one character in it which i won't go into too much detail about
there's one character in particular that i was kind of done with quite quick quite quickly okay
yeah you probably know which one i'm talking about obviously but um
yeah i was done with that quite quickly that wore quite thin but i will say i thought chris
evans was the kind of perfect choice to to play the real buzz that's what we talked about the
real buzz but the show is stolen by a new pixar favorite which will go which this pixar favorite
will go down so so well with audiences all around which is oh yeah which is a robot cat that is good
oh he loved him he's a kind of emotional um emotional friend to help him through basically
he goes on his mission and lots change lots change in the interim when he's on his mission and the
psychology and everything as you know as people do they go through therapy one of the things in
this particular story is that he gets a therapy cat it's a robot that can do certain things but
it does a lot more things than people really just think it was so cleverly done and funny man sits
and the gags are never really too they don't try too hard they're just in that uh old-fashioned
pixar way they just fit into place and i i think you really cannot buy that honestly i think you
can tell when you're really um when you're sort of faking it and pixar does not fake it
i think that's what i loved about it and i i i think what they're good about pixar is that
they run their jokes by so many people to the point where they understand exactly what the
audience wants from them and it's all very natural very organic and really endearing and that's the
difference between pixar and other animations that do a bit too much i i reckon but yeah yeah
it is it is impossible almost impossible for them to not even in their say more average
or least favorable film she said because none of them are bad the mix of gravitas with humor with
with pathos and all that kind of stuff no one no one does it better than them absolutely yeah in
this when it's good in that sense it's obviously very very good and very touching and very funny
doesn't ultimately coalesce for me but i will say that as i say it is very very good
fun and i had a great time watching and i think general audiences particularly adults and kids
will enjoy all of the as you say all the sci-fi aspects all the time i think they're gonna i think
it's gonna happen all the aliens and everything else is in there really really good joke and nod
to james cameron's aliens as well in there yeah yeah yeah it's one of the very cool little nods
yeah there are several nods to all your favorite space movies um so yeah to see if you can find all
of them because there are some uh i i just thought it was fantastic honestly i watched it very first
thing in the morning and i laughed and cried and you know i love everything about it yeah yeah
but yes indeed it is i will as i say it is very very good it's very charming and uh i'm sure
people will get a kick out of it uh before we give our final thoughts linda do you need a pen
do i need depending what oh yes no hang on when you see the film remember the gag
remember the pen oh i love that i just see she best temperatures it's just so good so well done
also by the time you watch this i may have done that gag to the person that does the gag oh good
this is the premiere that night that this will go out when the embargo lifts and i would have done
said premiere and i would have tried said joke and did they get it i don't know yet on monday okay
i'm gonna try it i'm gonna try it uh if i if you don't hear from me again it's because that person
has barred me from doing any more film stuff because of my friend anyway uh buzz lightyear
in cinemas on june the 17th which is this friday buzz lightyear i like you five out of five
i really loved it there isn't a single thing i didn't love about it as i said i'm i mean i i'm
in i'm a little bit biased because i love anything pixar but this touched me more than the last
um toy story i have to say okay uh a very strong three from me a very strong
oh wow okay very strong three yeah yeah i think three's about about about right okay fair enough
point where i was like this is jurassic world dominion kind of bad you know what that stuff
um but it's certainly charming it's certainly fun and uh yeah people as i say people will get a good
good kick out of this i gave it five because there's very little i didn't like about it and
in fact thinking about it now i can't think of anything i didn't like about it so there you go
