“Buzz’s world was always something I was excited about,” said director Angus MacLane. Releasing June 16th, 2022, the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy, follows the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure.
Or indeed anyone’s.A new trailer blasts off on Wednesday (February 9th) for Disney and Pixar’s original sci-fi action-adventure “Lightyear.” I can’t imagine this ever being a kid called Andy’s favourite movie. But first you’ve got to try and make a popular film. I understand the desire to represent the under-represented in a popular film. I never thought I’d say this about a film from that studio, but it was deeply disappointing. Junior Woodchucks, if you will.Īnd Mo - played by Taika Waititi almost inevitably in a Disney film - is a middle-aged dingbat who looks – well, looks exactly like Taika Waititi.Īs always, he plays the one character in Lightyear that kids whole-heartedly like.Īs for the rest, it feels both underdone and overthought, particularly by Pixar’s usually sky-high standards. More would-be, beginner freedom fighters. They do like gigantic robots.Īnd Buzz meets a stray group of freedom fighters, led by Commander Hawthorn’s plucky grand-daughter Izzy. I am sure that the 7-year-old audience I saw it with started chatting among themselves at this point.Īnyhoo, Buzz finally returns to discover that his old boss – cool, Black, lesbian Commander Hawthorn - is no longer with us, and the whole space camp has been invaded by gigantic robots.Īt this moment my audience perked up a bit. I’m not sure if this is quite what your average 7-year-old audience wants to see. Yes, relative time travel, with everyone getting older and greyer except Buzz. He takes off, comes back four minutes later, only to discover that years have passed on the planet. They think they’ve found a way off the Planet of the Creepers, and all it needs is for Buzz Lightyear - space test pilot - to see if it works. A planet of rogue vegetation that keeps grabbing people. So, no pressure then.įor some reason, Chris Evans has taken over voice duty from the original Tim Allen, though you can’t see the join.īuzz Lightyear is part of a crew of star-trekkers who’ve crashed on a distant planet.
The star of the brilliant Toy Story’s favourite movie ever. Toy-owner Andy bought the Lightyear figure after seeing what became his favourite movie ever.Īnd this is it. Not the plastic toy, but the film that spawned the plastic toy, we’re told at the start. After very little popular demand, you’d think, here comes a film entirely devoted to Buzz Lightyear.
