Looks like it will do a good job tonally and visually separating itself from other Pixar fare. That doesn't mean that it won't fall into the same tired and true formula everyone is tired of.

That's my worry too, but this is a really really good first showing- I hope the full thing and future trailers keep the vibe up, because it's showing a lot of promise already.

So have they actually explained what this movie is about? Is this an in universe reboot of the in universe Buzz Lightyear cartoon, or is this about a real guy in that Toy Story universe retroactively making the whole thing sci-fi for some reason. Normally I'd just assume the former but considering Chris Evans said this is "the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on".... like what is that even supposed to mean? I'm suspecting that there is gonna be some kinda meta twist about this in the movie itself because otherwise I see no reason for the marketing department to have not clarified this by now.

[up]Like you say in your first point, it could easily be a film within the Toy Story universe, as a reboot of the in-universe Toy Story cartoon.

This is not what I was expecting from this film. And yet I'm intrigued about it. The trailer is great, I knew it wasn't going to be like Star Command, but a Mass Effect-esque adventure drama was not what I was expecting.

If nothing else, this is going to be very different from the usual Pixar formula.

[up][up][up][up] that's what I'd assume had the lead star of the movie not said "this is about a real guy" with no other context (which could mean anything)

This looks amazing! I'm unironically interested in what a PG-13 version of this story would look like. But it's pixar, so I doubt they're going for that rating.

Well, it’s only a teaser, so I don’t want to make all my judgements right now. I’m sort of on the fence about it— something about it just doesn’t vibe with me.

It’s not about the desti-something, it’s about the whatever.

So we're getting a real animated movie based on a fake toy from a fake animated show from a real animated movie?

Oh snap! I actually forgot this was coming! (Probably because they announced this two years ago.)

NGL, I might need some time to process that this about a human named Buzz rather than a toy named Buzz (the comparison between man and toy are really uncanny), but I'm really liking what we're seeing here. Using David Bowie's "Starman" was also an excellent touch.

(Though I'm starting to doubt that Buzz's suit will have his signature wings...)

And look! His spaceship in the trailer has details from the toy's box!

Do you think Zurg will show up?

One look at what appear to be human-sized yellow-colored Zaku with "Z"'s on their chest point to "yes".

OH SNAP! It just hit me that the Zurg robots from the Star Command cartoon were yellow! surprised

It is kinda neat that they're going for a more hard science aesthetic for the movie.

Seriously! The line of robots at the 1:23-1:25 mark are colored yellow! Just like the Zurg robots from the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon!

(Also, it looks like one of them is red. Maybe the resemblance to the Zaku isn't a coincidence...)

Am I the only one who sees that?

I came in later season 3 and season four, so I always liked the version of the monologue from those ones.

And the way the theme song evolved.

It'll be interesting to see how this movie goes to be honest.

Just a heads-up, someone already got a page for this movie ready.

In my sheer excitement, I might've added just a few details.

Also, three tropes minimum are required, else a mod might be willing to drop the guillotine.

I really there to be a scene of him watching Woody's Roundup, or a scene of him meeting the voice actor for Woody's Roundup.

Robo Zombie: According to Pete Docter, this movie is meant to be the movie the Buzz Lightyear toy line is based on. In my mind, Buzz is an old pulp space hero from the 1930s ala Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon that has gone through various adaptations, including film serials, feature films and the Star Command animated series.

By the way, Zurg's robots from Star Command are based on the ones from the opening of Toy Story 2.

> By the way, Zurg's robots from Star Command are based on the ones from the opening of Toy Story 2.

Oh shoot, I actually didn't realize that.

But still, the robots in this trailer being yellow is definitely a shout-out to Star Command, right?

I mean, yeah the ones in TS2 had yellow mini-robots on the shoulders of the bigger robots, but...

EDIT: Actually watching TS2's opening, they look more like tank-treaded Cylons while the ones here look like Zakus.

EDIT 2: Man, how many of those robots did they make for TS2's opening? I almost want to say like a thousand at least? Man, that's a lot. Really crazy they were able to pull that off in 1999.

Huh so this movie is kinda like an in-universe realistic reboot of the Buzz Lightyear franchise.

Or maybe its actually the 80s movie for adults that got adapted into animated series and toy series tongue
