It was expected that the first spin-off, Lightyear, of the famous animated film studio, would be dedicated to the saga that made them famous. The first part of Toy Story, which came out in 1995, completely changed the attitude of children towards their toys.
24 years later, those same children, who are now adults, said a definite goodbye to Woody in the fourth sequel to Toy Story 4. Today is the time to meet the hero who gave his character the toy Buzz Lightyear.
Pete Docter creative director at Pixar Studios and director of animated films Monsters, Inc. and Up stated that the design of the space ranger came from an imaginary main character of a blockbuster that never existed. But that has now been corrected.
This is a hero who was the inspiration for the creation of the toy. The cartoon reveals how the young pilot became a space ranger as we know him today.
Of all the toys Andy owns, he is one of those who is really convinced that he can go “To eternity and (“. However, his story was never told, unlike Woody’s, which we met in the second part of the film about the Toy Story.
Lightyear Cast so far
- Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear (voice)
Lightyear Release Date
Disney and Pixar’s animated movie Lightyear, in theaters on June 17, 2022.
In this teaser, we see Buzz as a man and not as a plastic toy that flies into space to explore the unknown. A station on Mars? A planet very reminiscent of the planet Dagobah where Yoda hides in the movie Empire Strikes Back?
A few details of the teaser have references from Star Wars, reminding us in this way that Lightyear parodies the famous science fiction saga by being his worst enemy; emperor Zurg, in fact his father. The return of their recognizable humor is a good sign that Pixar has decided to return to the roots that made him famous.
This time, the voice of Baz, in the original version of the film, is no longer borrowed by Tim Allen, precisely for the reason of making a difference between the toy and the existing character that served as his inspiration.
Lightyear is a science fiction animated film and a story about the origin of Buzz Lightyear, whose original, American version is voiced by a Hollywood star, Captain America – Chris Evans. This is the hero who inspired the toy. The cartoon reveals how the young pilot became a space ranger as we know him today.
Disney and Pixar’come a long way since the first Toy Story animated movie, reaching new heights in 3D animation quality while keeping it cartoony. I can’t wait for this.
