'Lightyear' divides our opinions 13:24

2y ago13:24

13:24

Does Lightyear go boldly were no Disney-Pixar film has gone before? Not really. But the film is leaving critics and fans divided, including us. Chris Evans voices Buzz instead of Tim Allen.

'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' fell flat 12:35
