So, if anything, the confusion just makes the experience all the more realistic.I won’t fault suspicious viewers who think this sounds like a bunch of cash-grabbing malarkey, but I should point out that this retrofitting is not without Pixar precedent. The point is for us to experience the same wonder Andy felt watching this movie for the first time.īut like with all sci-fi movies, the wonder is often paired with pedantic nitpicking from some fans. Is Lightyear a live-action movie within an animated universe? Is it an animated movie with incredibly good graphics? It’s something that can be argued all day, but that’s not the point of the movie. It feels like no matter how many interviews I read, I’m always going to have questions. If you can suspend your disbelief to buy into a movie within a movie, you can buy into women loving women within that universe. I’m all for diversity in movies, so I’m going to choose to believe that the version we’re seeing is some sort of progressive directors’ cut. Pragmatically speaking, this wouldn’t fly in the nineties, and especially not in the late eighties. Then, there’s the elephant in the room: Lightyear has gotten flak from homophobic people for including a lesbian kiss. This art has nothing to do with Pixar canon.Andy actually did see Lightyear in theaters when it first premiered.Lightyear was released in theaters to capitalize on the toys popular in the ‘90s.On June 15, Pixar’s official Twitter account for the Lightyear movie shared an image of Andy watching the Buzz Lightyear movie in a movie theater.
The question seemed to be answered, but that answer wouldn’t last long. (By the way, MacLane’s answer about a Lightyear TV series is not at all related to the IRL 2000 animated series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which is not at all canon in the Lightyear universe and featured Patrick Warburton as the voice of Buzz.) So the reason Chris Evans voices Lightyear’s Buzz and Tim Allen voices Toy Story’s Buzz is because the TV series had a different voice cast, apparently. And then The Real Ghostbusters had their own toy line with Kenner. And then after that movie, maybe there were other movies, but then there was a TV show. The movie I imagine is actually from 1986, maybe 1985. Speaking to Uproxx he expanded on his “VHS” answer: Andy received Buzz Lightyear in 1995. That seemed to settle it, but in the months since, MacLane has continued to tweak the timeline in various interviews. Lightyear is apparently closer to Empire Strikes Back than The Fifth Element.
