When asked about Lightyear during a 2023 interview, Pixar's chief creative officer Pete Docter stated: "we asked too much of the audience. When they hear Buzz, they're like, great, where's Mr. Potato Head and Woody and Rex? And then we drop them into this science fiction film that they're like, What? [...] so I think there was a disconnect between what people wanted/expected and what we were giving to them." [129] Accolades [ edit ] Award

The movie surrounds Buzz with an ensemble of characters we've never met before and, honestly, they're all very entertaining. Uzo Aduba plays Buzz's best friend and commanding officer Alicia Hawthorne. She's the no-nonsense counterpart to Buzz's belief that he can truly do anything simply because he's Buzz Lightyear. She's also the grandmother of Izzy Hawthorne (Keke Palmer), who could easily be considered the movie's second lead. Domestic 2022 Weekend 26". Box Office Mojo.

Following the announcement of the film, a first look was shown at the Disney Investor Day on December 10, 2020. [36] [37] The marketing campaign for Lightyear began on October 27, 2021, with the release of a teaser trailer, set to David Bowie's " Starman", that received 83 million views in its first 24 hours. [38] Compared to other Pixar films, the teaser's viewership ranks second behind a teaser for Incredibles 2 (114 million). [39] [40] It was positively reviewed by commentators, with CNN-based editor Leah Asmelash writing, "the trailer filled many millennials with sentimentality". [41] The first trailer was released online on February 8, 2022, [42] [43] and was then aired at Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022. [44] [45] ComicBook.com's Aaron Perine opined that "the animated movie will be as comedic as expected of these family movies" and further stated "Chris Evans' version of the Space Ranger takes shape as he gets used to some alien surroundings. Also of note would be Lightyear's new companion, a robot cat that will also end up being comedic relief played by Peter Sohn." [42] Aaron Couch of The Hollywood Reporter had stated "The Lightyear trailer reveals that Buzz is sent on a rescue flight after he and a group of people are stranded on a planet. After a year of hard work, they've managed to send Buzz off world for help." [46] Toy Story is a legendary franchise and Buzz Lightyear might be among the most iconic animated characters ever created. Taking risks and telling an unique story with these priceless assets is therefore a daunting task. A task which Pixar could not fulfill. Yuen-C, Tham (June 15, 2022).
