Set to follow the story of the character that inspired the toy, Lightyear premiered a teaser trailer towards the end of last year that presented fans with a beautiful exploration into the project that would present an animated space adventure like no other.
Following the adventures of Buzz Lightyear- a space captain stationed on the moon for four years- as he boards his first test flight, the film will likely take fans into the deepest corners of the galaxy, as Lightyear has shown off an array of alien species and planetary atmospheres.
