A spinoff was bound to come out sooner or later. Did we need an origin story to the Buzz Lightyear character from Toy Story? No. BUT the Lightyear film by Angus MacLane certainly does know how to build a world around the character we only learned about through the toy story franchise. The film is about a flight, failure, and working together to achieve a common goal.
Buzz Lightyear (Chris Evans) is an enemy of time. He is a brave but often headstrong man who doesn’t need help from anyone. This attitude is why as a Space Ranger, he got a whole colony stranded on a random planet, and they can’t leave because the hyperspace crystal broke. They need a new one to journey home, so the scientist creates a new one, and he has to test it out. He fails on the first try but realizes when he goes four years into the future. For his efforts, he receives a Cat companion named Sox, who works on building the formula for a new crystal. Lightyear cannot accept this loss, so he tries and tries. On his last attempt, he returns to find his best friend Commander Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) has entered into a relationship, gotten married, had a child, had a grandchild, and grew old.
Now, the people of the planet are trapped in a dome with violent Alien robots hovering above and trying to break in. On the outskirts of the dome where Buzz ends up is where he meets Izzy Hawthorne (Keke Palmer), the grand-daughter of Alisha, Mo Morrison (Taika Waititi), and Darby Steele (Dale Soules). After all the years missed, Lightyear still wants to be a hero, so with his new friends in tow, they try to save the people from the looming threat of a robot apocalypse.

Angelique Jackson Chris Evans certainly has the market cornered on superheroes, voicing the iconic space ranger Buzz Lightyear shortly after hanging up (and handing over) his shield as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Captain America.At the world premiere of the Disney-Pixar animated movie on June 8, Evans admitted that taking on the voice role was “intimidating,” especially when following the work of Tim Allen as Buzz in the four “Toy Story” films.“The first time you have to do that iconic line, ‘To Infinity and Beyond…,’ you kind of just do a shameless Tim Allen impression. It’s intimidating,” Evans told Variety, crediting “Lightyear” director Angus MacLane and the Pixar team for helping him craft his own take on the voice.
Succinctly clarified in an opening title card, the conceit of “Lightyear,” Pixar’s latest feature and a tangential prequel to the “Toy Story” storyline, is far less bizarre than anticipated: what we are watching is supposed to be the popular sci-fi adventure that Andy, the young owner of all the beloved toys, loved back in 1995. The Buzz Lightyear we know, according to this fresh lore, is an action figure based on the fictional protagonist of this movie.
