Lightyear

Product Information

From Disney and Pixar comes an animated sci-fi action-adventure — the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans), the hero who inspired the toy. Even if you feel this way though, there's no sense here that Lightyear is a lazy attempt to capitalise on the brand name. Woken from hibernation, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear and his commanding officer and best friend Alisha Hawthorne explore with their new recruit, Featheringhamstan. MacLane said the animation took several "visual lessons" from early science fiction and space opera films such as those of the Star Wars franchise, though without intentionally imitating such films. The goal is that we can get to a point where it is the norm, and that this doesn't have to be some uncharted waters, that eventually this is just the way it is.

Following the announcement of the film, a first look was shown at the Disney Investor Day on December 10, 2020.American food manufacturing company Lightlife, collaborated with Disney and Pixar for launching several food packages inspired from the film. However, for the film, this is the first Pixar film to use Lego as part of their pipeline than what Lego does. Tilted Ship– Star Command Space Rangers of the 56th Airborne Alpha Quadrant meet Buzz and the Space Ranger students.

Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 85% (including an average 4 out of 5 stars), with 62% saying they would definitely recommend it. The movie was released under the ratings of 18+ for Malaysia and 21+ for Indonesia (both Indonesian and Malaysian equivalents of the adults-only NC-17), with mature content warning included prior to the start of the film. It is Pixar's first film since Onward (2020) to receive a theatrical release after Soul (2020), Luca (2021), and Turning Red (2022) were assigned direct-to-streaming releases on Disney+ in response to the closure of cinemas due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stepping into Tim Allen's shoes, Chris Evans does a winning job of balancing the characteristics of the Buzz we know, while making the character his own. Aaron Couch of The Hollywood Reporter had stated "The Lightyear trailer reveals that Buzz is sent on a rescue flight after he and a group of people are stranded on a planet.

This Buzz and his Sox escaped at full speed and, via time dilation, flew hundreds of years into the far future, where he encountered extremely advanced technology. After co-directing Finding Dory with Andrew Stanton, Angus MacLane was allowed to pitch the idea of making a Buzz Lightyear film, having always wondered what movie Andy Davis saw in the original Toy Story (1995) to get interested in a Buzz Lightyear action figure. Having worn out his own fuel, Zurg needs fresh fuel to travel further into the past and complete his mission, so he requests it from his younger self. Justin has been with Digital Spy since 2010, and in that time, has covered countless major news events for DS from the US.According to the streaming aggregator Reelgood, Lightyear was the 10th most watched program across all platforms, during the week of August 12, 2022. It's a movie that would have been released in the world of Toy Story, but with no story connection to the events of the Toy Story series. The original Buzz eventually developed a way to travel back in time to prevent himself from stranding the Star Command crew upon the planet. Its viewership fell sharply in the second week to 700 million minutes, with the film being positioned tenth overall and third among all streaming films. The marketing campaign for Lightyear began on October 27, 2021, with the release of a teaser trailer, set to David Bowie's " Starman", that received 83 million views in its first 24 hours.
