Based on the fan favourite character Buzz Lightyear the movie is being billed as the definitive story of the character which was voiced by Tim Allen on the 4 movies.
Stepping up this time os Chris Evans who will voice the fames Space Ranger as his younger self.
Its an interesting concept to bring up an origins story based on a character which is a living toy, toys don't age!
All the toy story films, including the fourth one, where excellent and there is no doubt that if anyone can pull this off its Pixar.
Release date, in the US at least, is 22 June 2022, all being well with the world by then.
