Lightyear pretends to be the story of an real astronaut? How do I connect with Toy Story? The director of him explains

One of Disney s great advertisements in 2020 was the progress of Lightyear, a new animation film of pixar that will have the voice of Chris Evans and that he intended to explore the story of the real Buzz Lightyear showing us at Real astronaut who inspired the creation of the toy.

Since then, and even more with the arrival of the first trailer of the film, there has been some confusion... So is the movie of the toy? It is a true story? Is it Buzz Lightyear A real person inside the Toy Story universe?

Part of this confusion is given because, even though the toys speak and run out there without we realizing it, Toy Story had a fairly realistic environment. However, the trailer of lightyear seems to indicate that the film will have certain doses of science fiction and seems to collide within this approach.

Finally it has been angus maclane, the director of lightyear, who has finished clarifying doubts about him and how he connects with the previous films of the franchise.

Describing his film, Maclane explained that Lightyear is The film that Andy saw and made him want to have an action figure of Buzz Lightyear. And although there may be certain moments a bit goal, the director also made it clear that the movie does not end and see Andy eating popcorn, so it does not really matter where it fits into the universe of toy story.

The fact that chris evans double to the real buzz lightyear and the character s physicist change by one more realistic does not intend to change the chronology, but that are artistic choices to differentiate this buzz as a human Instead of the original movies toy.

Lightyear is raised as a blockbuster of action and adventure that can capture the children s attention and make them want to be part of the adventures of Buzz... and also want a toy. So in principle, Lightyear is not the story of a real astronaut or a real adventure that happens in Toy Story s universe.

This new pixar film would be in a certain way a RETCON of BUZZ Lightyear: Guardians of Space, the animation series that narrated the character s adventures from which dolls had then been made. Lightyear It would be in a certain way that, a fictitious story within the Toy Story universe from which merchandising would have been done, and one of the toys would have ended up in Andy s hands.
