Lightyear


 Most people will probably remember this movie for a controversy which sunk its chances at financial success. If you are wondering, the movie includes a scene where two characters far in the future who are adult women kiss each other. This caused the movie to be banned in most of the Arab world and the People's Republic of China requested the scene be deleted from the release of the film in China, which Disney bravely refused to do. But because of that decision, the film is considered a flop. I don't think it's a bad film, but it's a confusing one. It tells the story of Buzz Lightyear the human being on which the toy from Toy Story is based. And this film is supposed to be the film that is so popular that Andy has a toy from it to play with. It's strange to me because I don't think even without the controversy that this film would be remarkably popular with kids. It has some very heavy themes - like getting older, wasting your time and regretting the decisions you make. But if you take it for what it is and don't think about the Toy Story connection, it's not a bad film. I watched it with my son and he had no problems with it.
