It’s been about three months now since I first discussed the upcoming film “Lightyear” with the teaser trailer post found HERE. In that narrative I opined about most franchises getting a wayback machine kind of story as well and I will admit that it’s kinda cool to see something like this happening to the mega-popular “Toy Story” character Buzz Lightyear. Of course this is about the astronaut who inspired the toy action figure and now the Official Trailer for the summer Disney Pixar release is presented for your viewing pleasure below. I’ve also added an expanded voice cast and new poster art so bonus.
The Premise: The sci-fi action-adventure presents the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear—the hero who inspired the toy—introducing the legendary Space Ranger who would win generations of fans.
The Voice Cast:
Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear
Keke Palmer
Dale Soules
Taika Waititi
Peter Sohn as Sox
Uzo Aduba
James Brolin
Mary McDonald-Lewis
Efren Ramirez
Isiah Whitlock Jr.
Piercing Ken Thoughts: In looking a the now longer and more “official” trailer, I have to say that I am very curious about possibly catching this early in the theatrical release. Now as I pointed out in the teaser post, I said that I loved the “Toy Story” franchise and fully supported the notion of an origin story of the popular toy Space Explorer. I am also just over the moon (corny I know) about the inclusion of the amazing David Bowie track “Starman”. We see more in this trailer and it was interesting to learn that they were marooned on a different planet and trying to get back home. There is also a good look at one of the villains and I can only imagine the toys that will come from this. Closing up I wonder what you readers think abot the trailer. You can chime in down below in the comments and know that I will be dishing out whatever they serve up on this one. Stay safe out there my friends.
