The Buzz Lightyear flick s supervisor discusses how it connects to the Toy Story universe

Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue is a system video game based upon Pixar s 1999 computer system animated film Toy Story 2. It is the sequel to the initial Toy Story computer game. It was launched for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, as well as Macintosh in late 1999, while a Dreamcast variation adhered to in 2000. The computer system variations were launched under the title Disney/Pixar s Activity Video game, Toy Story 2. A various variation, a side-scrolling platform game titled Toy Story 2, was likewise released for the Video game Kid Color in 1999. Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! was re-released as a downloadable ready PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable in 2011, followed by a downloadable PlayStation Vita re-release in 2012. A follow up to the game was launched 11 years later on, based upon Toy Story 3.

Buzz Lightyear s standalone motion picture has a brand-new trailer-- as well as every person s perplexed. Just how, exactly, does Lightyear connect to the Toy Story universe? Most likely, this is the beginnings story of the space ranger that the toy is based upon, right? Yet then, how come the Earth in Toy Story is not extremely technically progressed, yet the one in the Lightyear flick has Buzz slingshotting around the sunlight?

Supervisor Angus MacLane has a response. Kinda. It s complicated.

Establish in the globe of Toy Story is kind of unusual, he informed Amusement Weekly. An additional way to access it, it s a simple sci-fi activity film about the Buzz Lightyear personality. In the Toy Story universe, it would certainly resemble a movie that possibly Andy would have seen, that would certainly have made him desire a Buzz Lightyear number.

The flick does not end and after that you see Andy consuming popcorn, the filmmaker included. This is its very own point... This is standalone. It s the Buzz Lightyear flick. It s that personality but as the area ranger, not as the plaything.

Essentially, it seems like Lightyear might be viewed as a flick within the Toy Story universe that the Buzz Lightyear activity number is based on. Confusingly, though, Chris Evans-- who voices this incarnation of Buzz, replacing Tim Allen-- previously claimed that the Buzz in Lightyear is the origins tale of the human Buzz.

Just to be clear, this isn t Buzz Lightyear the plaything, he tweeted. This is the origin tale of the human Buzz Lightyear that the plaything is based upon.

Currently that the trailer s out, the internet has actually made a decision: this isn t extremely clear, Chris! However, let s do our best: Lightyear is a fictional flick in the Toy Story universe that informs the tale of a thought of area ranger that s potentially partially based upon a real in-universe man called Buzz. Perhaps? We need an additional tweet from Evans to clear this all up-- or maybe just confuse things further.

Whatever the case, we ll figure out even more when Lightyear rockets right into cinemas on June 17, 2022. In the meanwhile, take a look at our guide to brand-new Disney flicks.
