Pixar fans are eagerly awaiting the next big movie release.  This? Is a little sneak peek into the Lightyear characters …..who they are, and why they are important to the cast and creators of the film, and yes……I've got the tea on some PRETTY important scenes!

Pixar fans are eagerly awaiting the next big movie release.  This? Is a little sneak peek into the Lightyear characters …..who they are, and why they are important to the cast and creators of the film, and yes......I've got the tea on some PRETTY important scenes!

Get ready Pixar movie fans…….Lightyear is coming soon, and from what I've seen? It's going to be as epic as the Toy Story movies themselves.  I had the opportunity to learn more about the Buzz Lightyear movie recently directly from cast and creators AND to see the first 20 minutes of the upcoming film and what I saw? Made me feel even more excited about this nostalgic release than I already was!  If you love the Toy Story universe, then this incredible backstory will be right up your alley!

So what is this upcoming feature about?

This is Buzz Lightyear's origin story.  In the Toy Story films, the Buzz is a Buzz Lightyear action figure who was created as a part of the fandom of a movie franchise.  We never hear a ton about the movie, or a ton about Buzz as a character beyond the toy in the movies.  But this? THIS IS IT.  It's the actual sci-fi action-adventure movie that the Buzz toy was based on.  It follows the intergalactic adventure of…..Buzz Lightyear, an intergalatic space ranger.  Lightyear is created by director Angus MacLane (the co-director from Finding Dory) and produced by Galyn Susman (“Toy Story That Time Forgot”).

From the 20 minutes of footage I saw, Lightyear is an engaging story with a beautiful cast of characters that remind us how important life and love are.  This definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear is sure to be an instant classic.

See the latest official trailer for this animated feature here:

Lightyear Characters

The Lightyear characters are voiced by……an amazing group of actors and brought to life by the talented animation team at Pixar Studios.  You can expect to see:

Pixar fans are eagerly awaiting the next big movie release.  This? Is a little sneak peek into the Lightyear characters …..who they are, and why they are important to the cast and creators of the film, and yes......I've got the tea on some PRETTY important scenes!

Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Chris Evans): This? Is the real person Buzz Lightyear.  Not the Buzz Lightyear toy from the Toy Story films, but the character that he was based on.  This movie shows us so much about WHO Buzz is, and why kids like Andy love him so much.  Note: in the Toy Story franchise , Buzz is voiced by Tim Allen….but the Lightyear team talked quite a bit about the importance of having a new voice since this Buzz is a human, not the toy based on him.

Alicia Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba ): Buzz's best friend and the commander of the mission (fair warning, she will probably be your favorite character….she certainly is mine).  Yes, Alicia is taking a major step forward for Pixar films.  No spoilers but……I promise you'll cheer, smile, and maybe cry when you hear about her love story during the film and you'll be applauding Alicia's becoming a part of the pixar family.  Thank you Pixar.  We've been waiting for this one.

Izzy Hawthorne (voiced by Keke Palmer): Alicia's granddaughter.  She also becomes a space ranger, and is an integral part of Buzz's story (along with Mo and Darby voiced by Taika Waititi and Dale Soules).

Commander Burnside (voiced by Isiah Whitlock Jr.) : When Alicia is unable to continue commanding Buzz's missions, Commander Burnside steps in.  And he certainly has a different approach.

Sox (voiced by Peter Sohn): Yes, Buzz has a robotic cat.  Think Siri….but a cat.  With more personality.  I'm calling it now….we need Sox merch.  BADLY.

You'll also see Efren Ramirez as Diaz, James Brolin as evil Emperor Zurg, Anthony Armanino as Special Agent Chuck Bailey IV, and Mary McDonald-Lewis as the voice of the spaceship's onboard computer, IVAN, meaning internal voice activated navigator. 

Pixar fans are eagerly awaiting the next big movie release.  This? Is a little sneak peek into the Lightyear characters …..who they are, and why they are important to the cast and creators of the film, and yes......I've got the tea on some PRETTY important scenes!

So are you ready to go to Infinity and Beyond? You can join your favorite legendary space ranger, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command in theaters on June 17th.

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
