'He isn't going anywhere.' Or is he? Check out a new clip from Disney and Pixar's 'Lightyear,' in theaters Friday.
In a new clip from the upcoming Disney-Pixar film"Lightyear," Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear and his robot companion Sox must defy their superiors to perform a daring unauthorized takeoff in the XL-15 spacecraft. It's all part of Lightyear's mission to get himself and his crew home after they find themselves stranded on T'Kani Prime, a swampy, hostile planet crawling with giant swarming bugs that also happens to be millions of light-years away from Earth.
"Lightyear" tells the origin story of the Space Ranger who inspired the beloved"Toy Story" character. The cast also features the voices of Uzo Aduba as Lightyear's commander Alisha Hawthorne and Keke Palmer, Dale Soules and Taika Waititi as Lightyear's recruits. It was directed by Angus MacLane, a 25-year Pixar veteran who co-directed"Finding Dory" and also worked on"Toy Story 2,""Monsters, Inc.
"It's a film that celebrates that feeling you would get watching the sci-fi movies of the late '70s and early '80s," MacLane told"Good Morning America" in an interview last year."That's really the goal of it is making a fun ride that is emotionally satisfying but also fun to watch and to rewatch."
