The Lightyear filmmakers explain how they created Sox, one of the best Pixar characters of all time.
In the Toy Story spinoff/prequel/in-universe movie, Buzz Lightyear is on a mission with a crew of more than 1,000 individuals sent to explore a potentially resource-rich planet. When the time comes to head back to Earth, Buzz makes a decision that leaves the entire group stranded on a rather unpleasant planet. Buried in guilt, Buzz becomes determined to do whatever it takes to get them all home, even if it means letting life pass him by in the process.
“The beginning of developing the movie, I was working with Matt Aldrich, who is our first writer who left the project amicably. He had other things to do. He and I were thinking about a cute thing. We needed a cute thing for the movie, and we did a research into what cute things were good and what cute things were bad, and the cute thing was something that was loyal to our hero and was not snarky and was funny, but not in a sarcastic or cynical way.
“He was always meant to be this thing where Buzz was gonna be isolated from society. We had that first and so the cat was gonna be his one constant through time, but there used to be this whole thing where he would [be] like, ‘Hey, you wanna watch TV? Or you wanna go to party?’ He kept trying to throw him things, get him to socialize.” “There was this great Bed, Bath and Beyond joke we had to cut, which is an amazing sentence to say is.
Perhaps Andy doesn't own the entire line of Lightyear toys and, I'm just riffing here, but that feels like a perfectly good excuse to make a Toy Story 1.5 focusing on another kid in Andy's reality who has a Sox toy instead of a Buzz Lightyear toy.
