"Lightyear is a treat: a time-travelling, space-ranging, animated adventure in the spirit of classic sci-fi."
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"This is a funny spinoff with suspense and heart, a captivatingly spirited toon take on splashy live-action retro popcorn entertainment."
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

"Lightyear has things to say about ambition and connection, self-reliance and absolution—and that just scratches its supernaturally shiny surface."
Oliver Jones, Observer

"The strong voice performances and stunning visuals — and, of course, Sox the cat — make Lightyear a solid space adventure."
Sophie Butcher, Empire
