Film ► Lightyear - June 17th 2022

[Zettaflare]

This film is a spin off of the Toy Story franchise and is a origin story dealing with Buzz Lightyear being the hero we know him as today. Teaser came out and I think it looks pretty exciting

So is this gonna override the cartoon in continuity?

The cartoon is the toys watching a tv show, maybe Lightyear is a movie character that got an animated tv spin-off.

You could just call this an alternate continuity. Like DBGT is to the Dragon Ball series and Legends is to the Star Wars Franchise.

Is it me or has Pixar just taken imagery/animation to the next level? The movie visually looks out of this world.

Considering how most of the movie will likely take place in outer space, it's likely intentional.

This film is the in-canon blockbuster film that Buzz the toy and the cartoon were inspired by.

I'm actually looking forward to this, especially if Zurg is involved.

New trailer out

Surprisingly good attempt at doing the Buzz voice by Evans. Take notes, Pratt.

I'm not a big fan of making Zurg look like a generic robot. Wish they stuck with the classic toy look.

I hope Zurg is a person inside the robot

I doubt they're gonna retcon his 1 main defining characteristic from the films. being Buzz's dad

Can't remember but was that reveal ever referenced or joked about in the previous cartoon series?

 

[Zettaflare]

New trailer. Didn't see that plot twist coming

 

[TheBlindfoldedBirdwatcher]

When Buzz Lightyear said "What?", I almost immediately thought of where the main plot twist in The Empire Strikes Back will take place in this movie.

The Lightyear movie’s rendition of Starman is so good. I neeeeed that official release. The one by Geek Music is pretty good:

Something's definitely up with Zurg. We didn't get him as a boss in KH3, even though we got what looked like a Zurg ship. Like they could've swapped out the heartless head for Zurg's and boom, instant Dianey boss.

The board game Villainous recently had an expansion that added the 1st Pixar villains to the game: Syndrome and Lotso. Admittedly Lotso probably did fit Villainous better as the game emphasizes scheming over raw power. Nonetheless he sticks out as a bit of an odd choice over the more established Zurg or Sid.

But still, it comes across as Pixar deliberately barring depictions of the old Zurg before this film is out. Combined with how he hasn't been shown in trailers yet it suggests this version of Zurg is gonna be radically different.

So, like, did anyone watch this movie? I'm waiting for it to come Disney+. Shame it was banned in multiple countries. The world needs to wake up.
