DISNEY and Pixar share a fresh trailer for Lightyear, the animated spinoff of Toy Story starring Chris Evans as the voice of Buzz Lightyear.
Toy Story franchise, which began in 1995 with the most recent entry, Toy Story 4, released in 2019. The Toy Story franchise focuses on sentient toys, which people are unaware of, that overcome adversity in their mission to bring happiness to their owners.
The series features numerous recognizable characters, like Woody, Bo Peep, Mr. Potato Head, Rex, and Buzz Lightyear. Buzz, a Space Ranger voiced by Tim Allen in the films, was featured in a spinoff series, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, where Patrick Warburton voiced the character. That series ran for two seasons, highlighting Buzz’s adventures with Star Command as they went up against the evil Emperor Zurg.
Now, Lightyear will feature Buzz in his first solo film that steps away from the toys featured in Toy Story to focus more on his adventures as a Space Ranger, much like the television series. Lightyear is directed by Angus MacLane, who previously co-directed Finding Dory, and it features a script from Pete Docter, who has worked on several Pixar movies, including Toy Story, Wall-E, Monsters Inc., and Up. The film will see Chris Evans take on the role of Buzz Lightyear alongside fellow cast Taika Waititi, Keke Palmer, James Brolin, Uzo Aduba, and Efren Ramirez.
Disney shared a new trailer for Lightyear on Twitter that focuses on Buzz’s mission and even his relationship with his personal companion robot, Sox. As with previous trailers, the new preview utilizes David Bowie’s Starman to great effect as Buzz explains that they have been marooned on a planet for a year. As the trailer builds, it highlights the action while also introducing Sox, the tiny kitten companion that looks to bring levity in intense moments.

Disney and Pixar have become known for telling emotional stories through unique lenses, much like their newest film, Turning Red, which is an allegorical tale about puberty. Pixar’s distinct style of filmmaking is on full display in Lightyear, which looks to continue to studio’s trend of emotional and entertaining animation. Lightyear also made headlines recently when the film was said to add back in a same-sex kiss, easing prior Disney censorship in family entertainment.
As with any Disney animated project, there will also be toys and merchandising, with Lightyear being no different. Some of the toys for Lightyear have even offered a better look at ships and characters from the film. Lightyear is currently slated to hit theaters on June 17, giving audiences a chance to see Buzz in the world he always believed he stemmed from in the Toy Story films.
However, given that trailers for Lightyear have offered more of a tease, there is still plenty for audiences to discover when the movie hits theaters in June 17. (source: screenrant.com)
