First ‘Lightyear’ Trailer Takes Us to Infinity and Beyond
The first Lightyear trailer showcases Buzz’s pilot skills and a world that lies beyond the stars.
Lightyear tells the story of the space explorer and pilot that goes to infinity and beyond – and inspires an action figure we’re all familiar with. Confused? Let director Angus MacLane explain…
“In ‘Toy Story’ there seemed to be this incredible backstory to him being a Space Ranger that’s only touched upon, and I always wanted to explore that world further. So my ‘Lighytear’ pitch was, ‘What was the movie that Andy saw that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy?’ I wanted to see that movie. And now I’m lucky enough to get to make it.”
These are the adventures of the real Buzz Lightyear. Check out the first Lightyear trailer below.
We’re getting a Pixar movie in theaters, y’all! I wish it would have been Luca or Turning Red, but I guess this will do. That little personal annoyance aside, it looks like a great animated family movie that will call to those that saw Toy Story as kids in 1995. A new way to visit our childhood with plenty of new thrills and laughs.
That Emperor Zurg upgrade is killer.
