The Disney and Pixar movie “Lightyear” which is a prequel to “Toy Story” will arrive on the Disney + streaming platform this Wednesday, August 3rd.
“Lightyear” will be released in theaters on July 16, showing the film that Andy would have seen in theaters and which inspired the creation of the beloved doll of the boy we know in the “Toy Story” franchise, Buzz Lightyear.
The film grossed approximately $ 220 million at the worldwide box office and is now coming to Disney +, the Disney streaming platform. Also check out other productions coming to the platform this week.
Buzz Lightyear, who has the voice of Chris Evans in the American version and Marcos Mion in the Brazilian dub, along with his crew, go on an intergalactic adventure and find themselves lost 4.2 million light years from Earth, without the fuel in able to take the ship home.
He then embarks on a mission to try to correct his mistake that left them stranded on a hostile planet, but this has consequences for his life and the lives of those he loves. Buzz is helped by a group of friends and the funny robot cat SOX, and ultimately has to face an army of robots that threaten his mission.
“Lightyear” is directed by Angus MacLane and written by MacLane and Jason Headley. In addition to Buzz and SOX, many new characters are introduced, with voices from Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, Taika Waititi, James Brolin, Bill Hader, Uzo Aduba and Efren Ramirez.
Since “Two Brothers: A Fantastic Journey”, the 2020 film, Pixar hasn’t had an exclusive theatrical release. In the intervening period, “Soul”, “Luca” and “Red: Growing Up Is a Beast” debuted directly on Disney +.
