LIGHTYEAR is an animated sci-fi action adventure origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy.
LIGHTYEAR follows the legendary Space Ranger after he’s marooned on a hostile planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth alongside his commander and their crew. As Buzz tries to find a way back home through space and time, he’s joined by a group of ambitious recruits and his charming robot companion cat, Sox. Complicating matters and threatening the mission is the arrival of Zurg, an imposing presence with an army of ruthless robots and a mysterious agenda.
The film features the voices of Chris Evans as accomplished Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear, Uzo Aduba as his commander and best friend Alisha Hawthorne and Peter Sohn as Sox. Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi and Dale Soules lend their voices to the Junior Zap Patrol’s Izzy Hawthorne, Mo Morrison and Darby Steel, respectively, and James Brolin can be heard as the enigmatic Zurg. The voice cast also includes Mary McDonald-Lewis as onboard computer I.V.A.N., Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Commander Burnside, Efren Ramirez as Airman Diaz, and Keira Hairston as Young Izzy.
While this is NOT a Toy Story movie (I mean they don’t even have Tim Allen doing Buzz’s voice!) LIGHTYEAR is still good family fun in space with a clever story, good baddies and a hilarious emotional support robot cat called Sox.
Disney and Pixar’s LIGHTYEAR gets ★★★ and is only in theaters now.
