Disney Toy Story Glow in the Dark Buzz Lightyear Figure

Product Information

In February 2019, Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz in the films, expressed interest in doing another film as he "did not see any reason why they would not do it", [11] while in that May, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tom Hanks, who voiced Woody, said that Toy Story 4 (2019) would be the final installment in the franchise, [12] but producer Mark Nielsen disclosed a possibility of a fifth film, as Pixar was not ruling out that possibility. [13] In December 2020 at a Disney Investor Day meeting, Lightyear was announced as a spin-off film depicting the in-universe origin of the human Buzz Lightyear character, with Chris Evans providing the character's voice.

In 2009, Lego began releasing its Lego Toy Story line, which included a 205-piece Buzz Lightyear action figure. When the figure is completely built, it has an articulating head, arms, hands, torso, legs, feet, wings, and visor. [18] Lego also created a Buzz Lightyear minifigure. In 2016 a new version of Buzz Lightyear was created for the Lego minifigures Disney series. This minifigure featured new prints for the legs and arms of the minifigure and removed the Star Command logo from the chest of the torso piece. [19] A simpler version of this minifigure appeared in the Toy Story 4 line, with the Star Command logo reinstated but without prints on the arms or side of the legs. [20] Two new minifigures were made for the spin off movie Lightyear with two sets featuring his regular space suit, with one set including an alternate head and hairpiece included to have him unmasked, and a third including one of him in the orange and gray suit he wears at the beginning of the film.

It was streamed by 1.7 million U.S. households during its first five days on Disney+ according to Samba TV. [91] According to Nielsen, it was viewed for 1.3 billion minutes and ranked third overall in streaming titles for the week. [92] Its viewership fell sharply in the second week to 700 million minutes, with the film being positioned tenth overall and third among all streaming films. [93] In contrast, there’s also a nod to another more recent film that might not be so obvious without the two sharing an actor. However, with Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear, the moment when Buzz pops out of cryogenic sleep is incredibly evocative of the moment when Evans’ Captain America emerges from his transformation in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger . In addition, for the IMAX version, there are nearly 30 minutes of scenes that were produced in the nearly IMAX standard ratio, which is the 1.43:1 aspect ratio, making the film the first Pixar film to have selected scenes to be produced in this ratio.

Following the announcement of the film, a first look was shown at the Disney Investor Day on December 10, 2020. [36] [37] The marketing campaign for Lightyear began on October 27, 2021, with the release of a teaser trailer, set to David Bowie's " Starman", that received 83 million views in its first 24 hours. [38] Compared to other Pixar films, the teaser's viewership ranks second behind a teaser for Incredibles 2 (114 million). [39] [40] It was positively reviewed by commentators, with CNN-based editor Leah Asmelash writing, "the trailer filled many millennials with sentimentality". [41] The first trailer was released online on February 8, 2022, [42] [43] and was then aired at Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022. [44] [45] ComicBook.com's Aaron Perine opined that "the animated movie will be as comedic as expected of these family movies" and further stated "Chris Evans' version of the Space Ranger takes shape as he gets used to some alien surroundings. Also of note would be Lightyear's new companion, a robot cat that will also end up being comedic relief played by Peter Sohn." [42] Aaron Couch of The Hollywood Reporter had stated "The Lightyear trailer reveals that Buzz is sent on a rescue flight after he and a group of people are stranded on a planet. After a year of hard work, they've managed to send Buzz off world for help." [46] Complex, Valerie (October 27, 2021).

When they hear Buzz, they're like, great, where's Mr. Potato Head and Woody and Rex? And then we drop them into this science fiction film that they're like, What? [...] so I think there was a disconnect between what people wanted/expected and what we were giving to them." [129] Accolades [ edit ] Award Rooney, David (June 13, 2022).
