Directed by Angus MacLane (co-director “Finding Dory”) and produced by Galyn Susman (“Toy Story That Time Forgot”), the sci-fi action-adventure releases on June 17, 2022. A hidden grab bag of gizmos in a cute kitty package, Sox is Buzz’s go-to friend and sidekick. But Buzz can’t do it alone-he shares space with a dutiful robot companion cat called Sox (voice of Peter Sohn). HERO’S BEST FRIEND - Disney and Pixar’s “Lightyear” is an all-new, original feature film that presents the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans)-the hero who inspired the toy-following the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure. Like any (and all) good Pixar films, prepare to have your emotional heartstrings tugged. We quickly come to find out that not only does Buzz have a rich and detailed backstory, but it is one that is also very much grounded in emotion. The story beats come quickly, as we are introduced to a character we thought we knew well. My (spoiler-free) initial impression was that Pixar looked to not only break new ground technologically with Lightyear, but reflect new storytelling ground being broken, not just visually, but in tone, and especially pace.Īct one of Lightyear fires right out of the gate, hits the ground running, and moves at a very fast pace. I had an opportunity to preview the first 30 minutes of the film recently, and immediately imagined myself being 6 year old Andy, sitting in a darkened movie theater with his parents, excitedly watching and being introduced to a new hero… and a new favorite toy.

Let me start off by saying this… I love a good origin story.įrom the moment it begins, you will realize that Lightyear is very different than any other Pixar film you have seen before. My Spoiler-Free First Look at Pixar’s Lightyear Directed by Angus MacLane (co-director “Finding Dory”) and produced by Galyn Susman (“Toy Story That Time Forgot”), Disney and Pixar’s “Lightyear” opens in U.S. TRIAL AND ERROR – After being marooned on a hostile planet, Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans) attempts multiple test flights in an effort to recreate the complicated fuel required to reach hyperspeed so he and the whole crew can return to Earth.
