b"2022 saw the release of Pixar's 'Lightyear' in theaters in June and on Disney+ in August. For 27 years, audiences of all ages have gotten to know and love the heroic Space Ranger voiced by Tim Allen in the world's first-ever fully computer-animated feature film. Rumors have long floated of a spinoff portraying a human Buzz, describing a fictional universe akin to 'Star Wars' (or 'Trek') that would have been enjoyed by Andy and others in the 'Toy Story' universe. The makers of 'Lightyear' inform the audience via opening text that this was indeed Andy's favorite film as a child. Chris Evans voices a Buzz Lightyear still early in his career as a Ranger. While accompanying a crew of scientists as they explore the galaxy, Buzz makes the choice to investigate a habitable planet along their course called Tikana Prime. The mission goes awry, however, and they become stranded indefinitely. Thankfully there are enough resources to establish a new colony there, but in an effort to repair the ship, Buzz must attempt to charge its fuel crystals by flying close to the speed of light around the sun, making time pass on Tikana much faster than it does for Buzz. Having lost a life lived among his friends and utterly demoralized after a series of failed attempts, Buzz is reinvigorated when a new threat emerges and must rely on an unlikely new team of compatriots to protect the vulnerable colony.
