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.

So, how much is it going to cost you to watch Lightyear online? We've got a breakdown of all the best Disney Plus sign-up deals here (including any available bundles that'll save you money in the long run, not to mention the cheapest options that we'd recommend). Jump right into the action by clicking on your region.

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).

Disney Plus | $11.99 per month
If you're hoping to save some cash but still watch Lightyear online, your best option is a standard monthly subscription now that the Disney Plus free trial is gone (trust us, you won't find anything cheaper - we've looked). However, the annual $119.99 deal is better value overall because it gives you 12 months for the price of 10.

Disney Plus | £7.99 per month
The Pixar movie feels as if it's only just come out in cinemas, but we can already watch Lightyear online via Disney's streaming service. The cheapest option (unless you get it for free with an O2 contract offer) is a single month of the service, partially because you can cancel whenever you like. That said, the best value deal is the annual pass (which you can pick up for £79.90). It gets you 12 months for the price of 10.

Disney Plus | $11.99 per month
The only way to stream Lightyear online is through Disney Plus, and the cheapest offer right now is a standard monthly sub that you can cancel whenever you like without penalty. Yet that isn't necessarily the best value. If you think you're going to stick around, we'd suggest opting for the $119.99 annual fee because it gets you 12 months of the streaming service for the price of 10. That's a saving of $24 overall.
