If you're hoping to watch Lightyear online for less, you're in luck; we've got all the goss on how to see the latest Pixar movie for as little as possible here. Want the short version? Head to the Disney Plus streaming service and grab a single month's membership. Short of grabbing a free subscription via phone contracts like those with Verizon in the USA or O2 in the UK, it's the cheapest option and can be cancelled whenever you like. That means you can stream Lightyear and bounce before you're charged for a second month.

Because it's an exclusive to that platform, you won't be able to watch Lightyear online anywhere else without buying it outright (in other words, don't expect the film to drop on Netflix any time soon). But on the plus side, it's available in super-sharp 4K resolution so that the already impressive animation looks its best.

Regardless of where you buy, don't worry - you won't be spending much more than you would for a couple of takeaway coffees. That means you can stream Lightyear without breaking the bank. Which you'll want to, by the way. Our Lightyear review says that it's "a fun adventure with animation that sucks your eyeballs from their sockets".

Disney Plus | $7.99 per month
The cheapest subscription for Disney's streaming service right now is the standard month unless you grab a bolt-on from the likes of Verizon, and that gets you access to everything it has on offer. You can also cancel as soon as you're finished to make sure your membership doesn't roll on to a second month. However, that's not necessarily the best in terms of straight-up value. If you think you'll stick around, we'd recommend the one-off $79.99 annual sub because it gets you 12 months for the price of 10. Alternatively, the Disney Plus bundle with Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus is another good option because it only costs $13.99 per month (or $19.99p/m if you'd prefer to go without Hulu ads).
