The high concept for Pixar’s Lightyear is that the character in Toy Story was a toy based on something, the same way a Spider-Man action figure is based on the comics or the movies.
The “real” Buzz (voiced by Chris Evans, not Tim Allen) gets marooned on a mysterious and isolated planet, just like the toy one.
Lightyear is scheduled to open exclusively in theaters — and yes, it’s premiering in theaters, not on Disney+ — on June 17.
So this new Lightyear movie is essentially supposed to be the film that inspired the toy?
