The film picks up with Buzz, voiced by Chris Evans, and his fellow astronauts getting stranded on a strange planet. “We get to see Buzz’s full life, along with the full lives of our own characters.” “We’re so familiar with the toy, but very rarely do we ever get to learn the story behind the man, or the toy, and they have a full life,” Aduba told The News. The opening sequence of “Lightyear” informs audiences they’re watching Andy’s favorite movie, which depicts the adventures of the human space ranger Buzz Lightyear who inspired the toy. Zooming into theaters Friday, “Lightyear” is the first spinoff film in the “Toy Story” series, premiering nearly three decades after the original movie introduced the Buzz action figure as a favourite toy of a child named Andy.
