Buzz Lightyear - A trip to the future Oct 5, 2022 The Buzz Lightyear character that appeared in Toy Story (1995) was a toy inspired by the hero of a science fiction movie that the child protagonist, Andy, had seen. What Angus MacLane now offers us is precisely that film. A radiant, light, pleasant adventure is full of nods to the space opera subgenre.

Where do we start? In addition to an endearing handful of characters, Lightyear brings together all that repertoire that has fascinated us since the days of Flash Gordon: alien insects, star chases, a hostile planet, carnivorous plants, relentless robots, and time travel. The protagonist is a stubborn astronaut like himself, who keeps going, always going, until a mistake forces him to change his perspective. https://youtu.be/P1vQLVrmX-8 Considering which narrative framework you want to move, the truth is that Lightyear gives a lot of joy. It is no secret that Pixar has great writers, and in this case, without having to invent gunpowder, it is clear that they know how to give a good finish to the story. Visually, the film has a retro aesthetic, with echoes of Star Trek, Lost in Space, and Forbidden Planet. This adds a layer of nostalgia to the film, consistent with that phrase Buzz repeats every time he faces danger: "To infinity and beyond!" Among the supporting cast, I think audiences will especially remember robot cat Sox (voiced by Peter Sohn) and plucky Izzy Hawthorne (Keke Palmer). As for Lightyear (Chris Evans) himself, he exhibits here as much bravery and arrogance as he does kindness and gentleness. The nuance that the film brings may seem simple, but it is relevant: in a cinematographic landscape dominated by franchises (and this one is), it is still possible to look back and learn from the classics. In this case, Lightyear is presented as an old-style family show, very dignified and impeccably executed.

https://movies.disney.com/lightyear **Synopsis** The film tells the origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy, and introduces us to the legendary Space Ranger who would end up with generations of fans. "The world of Buzz has always fascinated me," said director Angus MacLane. “In Toy Story, the history of this Space Ranger was barely glimpsed and I always wanted to explore that world further.” 'What movie did Andy see to want a Buzz Lightyear toy?'This is the question I asked when presenting the project of Lightyear and I wanted to see that movie. And I've been lucky enough to make it happen." Chris Evans lends his voice to Buzz in the original version of the film along with Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, and Taika Waititi who make up a group of excellent recruits. Peter Sohn is the voice of Sox, Buzz's robot sidekick and the cast also features the voices of Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr.
