The idea of ​​Pixar returning to the world of "Toy Story" to dig deeper into the flesh and blood of human life may not sound like the most promising premise on the surface, but director Angus McLean's first trailer for Lightyear makes it feel like The studio came up with a way to realize this concept.

Although Buzz Lightyear was just a (very fancy) toy when it first appeared in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story in 1995, Lightyear tells the story of a living (albeit fictitious) astronaut and his space adventure Inspired the action figure series. In this Buzz Lightyear (played by Chris Evans), you can see every bit of the oversized cartoon personality of all Buzz Lightyear dolls in the Toy Story movie. But the trailer will give you a better understanding of the source of these aspects of Lightyear's identity, as well as his specific reasons, so toy manufacturers hope to turn him into a best-selling collection.

What’s interesting is that the trailer is not surprising. Lightyear’s gimmicks and plot points seem to be at least partially inspired by Marvel Studio’s Captain Marvel, who drew inspiration from movies such as "High Aspirations." . Although Toy Story’s iconic three-eyed alien did not appear, we saw a brief glimpse of other Star Command officials. A mechanical ginger cat Buzz seemed to be a friend, and there were some gorgeous shots of him launching into space that seemed to be a slingshot. star.

Lightyear's cat and the lens are frantically trying to deal with a group of tentacles trying to eat him. Both of them feel like paying tribute to Captain Marvel. This is Lightyear's company cousin, which is... very good. But one can only hope that the story is reserved in these types of references, because the film feels that it has the potential to be visually impressive and narratively compelling—especially if it finally explores more deeply. Buzz Lightyear really surpassed his fame and oversized jaw.

Lightyear will be released on June 17, 2022.
