I actually saw the movie -- it's absolute dreck and it has nothing to do with the wokeness of it.
The plot is all over the place - nothing passes any logical scrutiny - there is zero character development - there is no clear message - the plot contradicts itself - no one is likeable - the ending doesn't make sense... and I could go on.
Entertainment aimed at kids doesn't have to be braindead -- it doesn't even have to be realistic, it just needs to be internally consistent with its logic. Lightyear fails to even do that.
The more I think about it, the worse it gets. And then you still have the superfluous wokeness as well. I just don't think anyone wants to watch a 30-something cinephile rant at how a Disney movie insulted my intelligence.

A review I read put it quite sucently. It's a Toy Story movie without the Toy Story.
