While I haven't liked any of Disney/Pixar's recent films, I think this one actually doesn't look too bad. At first, I was a little concerned about throwing the character into another world but it sorta makes sense if it's supposed to be like what the toy of Buzz was based on (Or at least that's what I'm telling myself so I don't hate it).

Eh. I'm waiting for full trailers before commenting. Not thrilled at the moment, but the teaser is comically badly edited so there's no telling what the movie will be like.


I was hoping for the cast from Buzz Lightyear Star Command or whatever it was called. With Mira, Booster, and XR.
Buzz Lightyear is SRS BUSINESS now, no place for that wacky silliness. :teach:

Hell I would have just wanted Tim Allen to reprise the voice but we are not even getting that either.
With all due respect to Tim Allen, he is almost 70, he voiced Buzz almost 30 years ago, and Buzz is supposed to be even younger in the new film, Tim is roughly 40 years too old to play him. Probably more.

I mean, it never stopped Disney from recasting Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy not once, but twice with CLU being a digitally deaged version of Bridges which was pretty solid given the effort it must have been to make that happen, and that was all for a sequel for a movie that was almost 30 years ago at the time.

While I am not misunderstanding your point here or the fact that a younger Buzz should have a younger voice actor, it just seems like they went in an entirely different direction with their casting choice on it. Almost feels on par with Nintendo choosing Chris Pratt as Mario levels of weird to me. If Disney seriously wanted Allen for the role its not like they don't have the technology to make his voice younger. Its just an odd choice to make at the end of the day, and anyone coming into this is probably going to be just as put off expecting his voice to be there.

New trailer.




Still no clue what it's about. But we get to see Zurg so there's that.


It's supposed to be a movie of the character the toy is based off of in the Toy Story universe, so it's a movie inside a movie so to speak.

A few clips and new trailers came out, they don't inspire confidence or get you hyped. But I know one thing: Sox the cat is a traitor. Mark my words. Screenshot this reply. You were warned.

I enjoyed the movie, it acts as the origin story of Buzz Lightyear. I wouldn't mind a sequel with more scenes set in space. Those who don't see it while being fans of Pixar, Toy Story or computer animation are missing out.
