Exactly what I thought. I'm confused why it's being called a prequel or "real life incarnation of Buzz".
I mean I hope that's the case. It was basically a dope Star Wars + 007 Goldeneye esque movie.
No way. It's gonna be a grounded movie. I'm thinking it will be something about the first human to travel FTL or something. It's pretty obvious they're going for something like that.So if there is a real Buzz Lightyear, this means there's like a real Zurg as well right?
Assuming the toy didn't make his backstory up (Which I wouldn't be surprised if the toy made some of this up, but I feel if they did, the Lightyear estate would have been pretty sue-happy on misrepresenting Buzz Lightyear) all this had to have happened right? There being an actual Space Rangers corp and a real Evil Emperor Zurg.
I guess the question here is, who are we getting to play Zurg, do we get James Earl Jones? That would be amusing.
I don't think it will anything like Star Wars.
It seems more like Contact than Star Wars.
Yeah, let me know when there's a nostalgia wave for '50s children TV programming, or the '50s period that isn't coming from MAGA Baby Boomers.
I would guess it's due to a younger character that they see several movies making. Chris is talented as well, already part of MCU, and has enough buzz to put some seats in.
Maybe it is political, but I'm guessing not.
I'm sure this will end with the real buzz being shown some test product toys and saying something like "does my voice really sound like that?!"
Wait this isn't gonna be Buzz Lightyear Star Command? Ah damn that sucks. I would've preferred a full film with that cast
You mean the universe where toys are actually alive? Star Command and aliens makes no sense in a universe where toys can come to life when people aren't looking?
We know next to nothing about the actual world of Toy Story outside of what the toys know and what is needed as a backdrop for their adventures. Jesse appears at the end of Monster's Inc so aside from having magical living toys their universe also has doorways to the monster world. Lotso is seen in a girl's room in UP so we know there are giant dinosaur birds and talking dogs too. Pizza Planet Truck and several of the toys show up in Wall-E so eventually the world has super advanced robots and intergalactic travel; Buzz could be the world's first step on that path.
(I don't think that Buzz is based on a real human and there are aliens in the TS world, Chris Evans clearly got his wires crossed and hopefully he'll correct himself, I just think it's silly to rule them out when we're talking about a world with living toys in it ;p)
And yeah the OP should definitely be updated if it hasn't been already
We honestly don't know, the only thing confirmed is that it's the blockbuster sci-fi movie that spawned the Buzz Lightyear toy craze, so there could totally be aliens and Star Command etc in there but I don't think it'll follow any of the plot or characters from the show
I agree. Though I wonder how Pixar are going to differentiate this movie from Wall-E in terms of space exploration?
The voice change makes sense even in-universe because it'd make sense the toy is not voiced by the actor himself.
Seems like the tone will be more Star Command than First Man but it'd be hilarious if the Buzz toy was based off a serious astronaut drama that took off with children inexplicably

The Buzz Lightyear film within the Toy Story universe wouldn't be canonically CGI same way Andy isn't canonically CGI...
Not if the Toy is based off the cartoon adaptation of the Blockbuster movie
They couldn't get Buzz's real VA to voice the lines for the toy so they got a sound alike.
There.
The more likely is that Buzzlightyear is like Ghostbusters, where the cartoon adaptation is more oclourful and devoid of the original casts' voices
There was a movie that was a bit more mature (not like full adult like GB but more mature), then there was cartoon adaptation for kids, that cartoon adaptation spawned toys, and so "Tim Allen" is who was hired to take over the role of Buzz Lightyear in the cartoon because "Chris Evans" was too big of a star to do it
Honestly I'm all for this. I really really love the concept of an origin story for the real Buzz Lightyear.
Never would have thought of doing something like this. Its already a movie I can't wait to see more of!

That real life Buzz Lightyear better get Gravity'd into space and become a member of Star Command because if Star Wars fans get to have their childhood relentlessly pandered too then the fans of a CGI animated movie spinoff that aired exclusively on Toon Disney deserves the exact same treatment
Pixar said fuck this shit.
And that blockbuster movie could be a inspired by true story kind of movie so there is a real human Buzz Lightyear in toy story universe. :P
Maybe but it looks more like Buzz was always a fictional character
Pixar accepting such an outlandish commercial for Toy Story in Kingdom Hearts doesn't seem so outlandish anymore when they were arguably doing the same thing this whole time.
Honestly since pre-Toy Story 3 i've though they should do an animated series in Andy's head.
Basically the Toy Story 3 intro as a lower budget full series(Sheriff Woody, Deputy Buzz, Evil Doctor Porkchop, etc)
So, Hanks does voice Woody in KH3.
...except it's Jim Hanks, Tom's younger brother. Who apparently voices Woody for video games and such.
Looks like Buzz is... Mike McRae?
Heck, there could be an interesting underpinning story *about* him being famous and licensed and dealing with that idea.
Imma take Chris's words at face value, I think Buzz was an actual great/ famous space dude in their world who was so beloved he got a show based on him and his adventures and that show lead to a toy line.
Nothing about the Toy Story world makes sense, from all toys (even shit slapped together by kids) being alive and playing dead to it's connections to Monsters Inc shit, can't tell me that a real Buzz didn't have an epic adventure in space with where he was the first human to make contact with (and befriend) Aliens.
That alone would be reason enough to make him a movie/ TV star with a toy line and house hold name.
