We’ve taken off. The trailer for Pixar’s forthcoming Toy Story prequel, which will follow the early exploits of diminutive astronaut Buzz Lightyear, now voiced by Chris Evans, has been revealed.
Despite the fact that Buzz Lightyear is a toy, the film will follow the space explorer’s “true life” history — that is, what Buzz was programmed to believe about his existence in the first film. If you’re curious about when Lightyear will be available for streaming on Disney+, we have some information.
In terms of plot, we don’t get to see much in the trailer: To the tune of David Bowie’s “Starman,” Buzz blasts out into space, flies around the cosmos, and battles some intergalactic enemies. “Animated films were a huge part of my upbringing.

They were a safe haven for me. My exploits. As the world got its first glance at Lightyear, Evans wrote, “My dreams.” “They were my first introduction to the enchantment of storytelling and performance.”
Do you know when we’ll be able to see Lightyear on Disney+? Here’s what we know about the next Pixar film’s streaming release.
When will Pixar’s Lightyear be released?
Pixar’s Lightyear is currently slated for release on June 17, 2022; however, due to the COVID pandemic, release dates are still subject to change, so don’t mark that date on your calendar just yet. Instead of using a Sharpie, pencil it in.
Will Toy Story 3: Toy Story 4: Toy Story 3: Toy Story 4: Toy Story 4 When can we expect Lightyear to arrive on Disney+?
No, Lightyear is anticipated to only be released in theatres. For films like Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Disney is experimenting with a 45-day release window. The same may be said with Lightyear. In that situation, we can anticipate Lightyear’s arrival on Disney+ on August 1, 2022.
It’s also possible that Lightyear will deviate from the plan entirely, as Pixar was allegedly unhappy with films like Soul and Luca being released on Disney+. That may mean Lightyear stays in cinemas longer; or Disney could decide that Soul and Luca were popular enough that Lightyear could be released directly to Disney+, Pixar be damned.
However, given the fact that release dates are continually shifting and plans are continuously changing, it’s feasible that we’ll get it sooner, later, or much later. It’s too early to make an accurate prediction right now. Keep an eye out for updates.
Where can I get the rest of the Toy Story movies to watch online?
