The film has received criticism from some who have argued that the film's scene with a same-sex kiss, as well as Alisha Hawthorne's relationship with her partner, is inappropriate for children. This was contested by the scene showing support from both fans and Pixar employees, as well as helping the film reach more notoriety. This is the third Pixar film to have a post-credits scene play after the production logos, after WALL-E and Soul. This is the ninth and final Pixar film to feature the full 2011 Disney opening logo as a closing logo after Finding Dory, Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Soul, Luca, and Turning Red.
I tell myself in my brain [Pixar creators] made him those colors to model after Dodger,” Evans told ET Canada, referring to Sox’s appearance. “When I first saw Sox, I said ‘you know aside from the fact that he’s a cat, all I see is Dodger.” The film is rated PG by the MPA, unlike the main films of the Toy Story franchise which were rated G. Tim Allen and Chris Evans both share the same birthday but are 28 years apart, with Tim being born in 1953 and Chris in 1981.
Sox may have been inspired by Chris Evans’ dog.
Some scream canisters from Monsters, Inc. can be seen in the abandoned hangar, near where the Space Ranger suits are stored. The A.V. Club’s Tomris Laffly, meanwhile, came down somewhere in the middle, saying “ Lightyear both struggles to justify the proposition it suggests in its opening and feels like an irrelevant oddity within the beloved Pixar series it claims to expand upon.”
Contrary to what casual audiences might think, Lightyear will not be about the same Buzz Lightyear toy that audiences have followed since Toy Story's release in 1995. Instead, Pixar's newest film will opt for a meta approach by telling the story of the fictional Space Ranger that would eventually inspire the line of Buzz Lightyear toys in the Toy Story universe. That is why Buzz looks and sounds so different from the Tim Allen version. Even still, the appearance of what appears to be a redesigned Emporer Zurg in the trailer reveals that at least some elements of the toy’s mythology—also known as the text behind the box—will be incorporated into Lightyear. This is the fourth Pixar film that doesn't feature John Ratzenberger, after Soul, Luca, and Turning Red. This is the first Pixar film to be released theatrically since Onward, as Soul, Luca, and Turning Red were released on Disney+ instead of being released theatrically as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the crew members listened as Buzz prepares his first flight is named Booster, a nod to Booster Munchapper, one of Buzz's teammates from the series.This is also the ninth Pixar film to have a post-credits scene after Finding Nemo, Cars, Brave, Monsters University, Finding Dory, Cars 3, Luca, and Turning Red. James Brolin is the father of Josh Brolin, who starred alongside Chris Evans and Taika Waititi in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Evans and Waititi played Steve Rogers/Captain America and Korg, whilst Brolin played Thanos. Waititi also directed Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. Poseable Legs and Head: Enjoy the poseable legs and head of Sox, allowing for dynamic play and imaginative storytelling. Create exciting adventures inspired by Disney and Pixar's Lightyear! Detailed Plush Sculpting and Embroidered Features: Fall in love with the meticulous plush sculpting and delicate embroidery that bring Sox to life with remarkable attention to detail. But that moment was not the only scene stealer for Sox, as he also helped to close out the trailer by offering to help Buzz fall asleep with a wide range of sound effects. And while Buzz chooses white noise, the two say good night to each other before the robotic cat opens his mouth to give him the white noise he requested. It was weird and wonderful all in one moment.
Buzz quotes a number of lines that he (and Utility Belt Buzz from Toy Story 2) originally said in the Toy Story franchise (besides his signature catchphrase, "To infinity and beyond"). This is also the third overall animated Disney production to feature a same-sex couple kissing, after The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder episode " Father Figures" and The Owl House episode " Clouds on the Horizon". Lightyear premiered on June 8, 2022 and was theatrically released in the United States on June 17, 2022 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, in RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, and IMAX formats. It is the first theatrical release for Pixar in two years, since Soul, Luca, and Turning Red were assigned direct-to-streaming releases on Disney+ in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Buzz is reunited with Alisha, who is now his superior and brings him up to date on how his trip is affected by time and ask that he abandon the mission. Buzz additionally learns that in the intervening years, Alisha met a scientist named Kiko and is now engaged to her while the colony has chosen to build living quarters. Buzz is given his and is additionally given a small robotic cat named Sox who was designed to be his close companion, while also displaying useful technological devices within him. Buzz has a nightmare about his crash and decides to give Sox a mission to find a suitable formula for a fuel source. He meets up with Alisha and manages to convince her to let him go again until they find the right fuel to get off the planet.
Andrew Stanton, who served as the executive producer of Lightyear, previously voiced Zurg in Toy Story 2, to which Zurg himself is voiced by James Brolin in this film. Furthermore, Sox follows alongside Mo, Izzy, and Darby in a plan to rescue Buzz who is captured by Zurg. Just as they enter, Sox detects two Buzz signals (consisting of Buzz and Zurg - the latter who is revealed to be an older version of Buzz), planning to triangulate in a plan to help the Junior Patrol to find Buzz and rescue him from Zurg. Later, Zurg crushes his own Sox who attempts to escape with Buzz, confronting him while competing in a plan for Buzz to obtain the crystal for the Armadillo's fuel. A fun fact about this cat is that he was modeled after a real-life dog. Lightyear star Chris Evans, who voices Buzz, revealed to ET Canada that the creation of Sox and his relationship with Buzz was inspired by the actor’s real-life bond with his dog, Dodger.When Sox greets Buzz, he says his lines that are similar to Baymax from Big Hero 6 which are, "Hello, I am Baymax. Your personal healthcare companion". While Sox might immediately bring to mind Jonesy from “Alien” and “Aliens” (“Aliens” is MacLane’s favorite film), he said that Sox’s coloring wasn’t an explicit reference to that James Cameron classic. “I mean, we tried different colors even, and I ended up going with orange because it just stood out better from the rest of the outfits,” MacLane explained. “Obviously from Morris the cat to Garfield to Jonesy, there’s a rich history of orange cats in popular culture, but it just ended up being a contrast thing.” Sox’s design also combines the movie’s aesthetic directive of being “chunky” like consumer products of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. “He feels very much like a robot of that time,” MacLane said. In a post-credits scene, ERIC finally maps out the perfect route to take to the hangar, only to realize that everyone has already left. Toy Story: "Terrain seems a bit unstable. No readout yet if the air is breathable, and there seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere." When asked about the relationship between Lightyear and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, a Toy Story spin-off series that also serves as an in-universe production starring the Buzz character, MacLane, who directed the CG opening sequence for Star Command, [3] said that he did not have it in mind while working on the film, but always pictured the series being developed in-universe after a trilogy of Lightyear films. [4] [5] He later explained that Lightyear serves as a "live-action" film within the Toy Story universe, whereas Star Command serves as a hand-drawn animated series based on the film, from which the toy versions of Buzz and Zurg derive from.
