If you are someone who has watched Toy Story, then you might be aware of Buzz Lightyear and his mighty adventures. He was a fan favorite in all Toy Story movies and greatly deserved a movie of his own. Lightyear is an American animated sci-fi movie about the renowned space ranger Buzz Lightyear who is stranded on an unknown planet due to a poor choice made by him and follows his adventures as he tries to find a way to reach home. The film was directed and co-written by Angus MacLane, who also wrote ‘Finding Dory.’
Buzz Lightyear is a space ranger who stops at an unknown planet to search for signs of life but ends up breaking their space-traveling vessel turnip and getting stranded crew members. He attempts to build a Hyperspace crystal with the help of his teammates so that he can return to his own planet, but while testing the crystal formula, he ends up going into the future, where his crewmates have died, and their successors are introduced to him. With the help of his new teammates, Izzy, Mo, Sox, and Darby, Buzz fights several hostile lifeforms like Zurg and travels through time, hoping to return to his home planet.
The movie is a spinoff and the fifth part of the Toy Story franchise. Buzz Lightyear was first introduced in a 200o’s movie called Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, which was then made into a tv-series from 2000 to 2001. The film was unfortunately not a hit grossing 226 million dollars worldwide while the production budget was 200 million dollars.
