To infinity, Disney Plus and beyond! Lightyear, Pixar’s Toy Story spinoff, arrives on the streaming service this week after first playing in theaters. The animated movie centers on Buzz Lightyear — not the toy, but a space ranger. The premise of Lightyear can be explained by the short title card that runs at the beginning of the movie: “In 1995 Andy got a toy. That toy was based on a movie. This is that movie.”
Lightyear streaming details
Lightyear starts streaming Wednesday, August 3 at 3 a.m. ET on Disney Plus (opens in new tab).
Lightyear opened June 17 and was the first first Pixar film to be released in theaters worldwide since the start of the pandemic. While it is considered a box office failure, having only earned $219 million against a $200 million production budget, Lightyear received a 75 percent Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab) critics’ rating and a 84 percent audience score.
The story follows Buzz (voiced by Chris Evans) as he embarks on an intergalactic adventure. After he’s marooned on a hostile planet with commanding officer and best friend, Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba), he must find a way back home. But every attempt costs him precious time and he must team up with new crewmates to complete the mission.
Here’s everything you need to watch Lightyear on Disney Plus. Check out the trailer below:
