Lightyear is an upcoming American 3D computer animated film produced by Pixar set to be released on June 17, 2022. The film is a spin-off of the Toy Story franchise, set within the narrative ("the show within the movie") of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It will be Pixar's 26th animated feature.

Synopsis

Lightyear is a sci-fi action-adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans) — the hero who inspired the toy. The film reveals how a young test pilot became the Space Ranger that we all know him to be today.

Overview

Lightyear is directed by Angus MacLane and produced by Galyn Susman. It opens in theaters in summer 2022.

Cast

• Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear

Trivia

• This will be the second Toy Story spin-off after Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.
• This will be the first Pixar film of the 2020s to be produced in a 2:39:1 aspect ratio, since Soul, after Luca and Turning Red were produced in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio.
• This is not a story about the Toy Story action figure or the cartoon Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, but the origin of the in-universe astronaut who inspired the cartoon and toys.
• This is Pixar's first spin-off film.
• John Ratzenberger's 26th consecutive Pixar film.
• The second Pixar film to be released on June 17th, after Finding Dory.
• This will be the second Disney animated spin-off to be produced in a 2:39:1 aspect ratio, after Planes: Fire & Rescue.
• Contrary to people's expectations, this is not the first time Buzz is played by an actor other than Tim Allen. The list includes:
  • Pat Fraley (Toy Story Treats, video games, attractions)
  • Patrick Warburton (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command)
  • Javier Fernandez-Peña (Spanish mode in Toy Story 3)
  • Mike MacRae (video games)
  • Corey Burton (Disney on Ice)
    • When the movie was announced, many people were thrown into great confusion over it. This can be largely attributed to the human character and the toy sharing the same name, which led many people to believe the human Lightyear's voice actor, Chris Evans, would replace the toy Lightyear's voice actor, Tim Allen, to become the new voice of the character. Disney later clarified on Twitter that this was not the case, with Evans being the voice of the in-universe fictional character that inspired the toy, and Allen being the voice of the toy.
• This will be the second Pixar movie to have a Marvel Cinematic Universe actor after Onward.
• Tim Allen and Chris Evans both share the same birthday, but Tim was born in 1953, and Chris was born in 1981, 28 years apart.
• This movie is the canonical depiction of the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command show-within-the-movie, rendering the show that previously depicted it non-canon.
