The first trailer for Disney Pixar’s Lightyear has been released and it teases the origin story of the hero who inspired the legendary Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear.
Lightyear serves as a prequel to the Toy Story franchise and it depicts the in-universe movie of the fictional Buzz Lightyear character. While Tim Allen voiced Buzz Lightyear across four Toy Story films, Chris Evans has stepped in as the voice of the human Buzz Lightyear. When speaking on doing the movie Evans said, “The phrase ‘a dream come true’ gets thrown around a lot, but I’ve never meant it more in my life. Anyone who knows me knows that my love for animated films runs deep. I can’t believe that I get to be a part of the Pixar family and work with these truly brilliant artists who tell stories unlike anyone else. Watching them work is nothing short of magic. I pinch myself every day.” The film was first announced at Disney’s 2020 Investor Day meeting in December.
Annie Award-winning director and veteran Pixar animator Angus MacLane, who co-directed 2016’s Finding Dory, helms Lightyear while Galyn Susman (Toy Story That Time Forgot short) serves as a producer. Did YOU like the teaser?
Lightyear is set to be released on June 17, 2022. You can check out the film’s official key art below
