It arrives in a box, made of shiny, shiny plastic, dressed in aerospace armor with green and purple details and a large protective helmet. Buzz Lightyear He immediately wins the heart of Andy, who receives it as a birthday present, and immediately takes the place of the toys of the child’s heart. How Woodya cowboy sheriff’s puppet still stuffed with stuffing.
Like Andy, we too got our hearts stolen by Buzz Lightyear, who later 27 years old from the release of the first Toy Story, the protagonist of a Pixar animated film totally dedicated to him, out on June 15, 2022. But why do we still like this character so much?

It will be his being a bit of a clumsy herowho, just out of the box, is convinced that he has landed on the wrong planet and does everything to get back to doing it Space Ranger in the space. This is why he tries to fly and fails, he launches into impossible feats that always lead him to bump into reality. Or it will be his armor of hard and infallible hero of the space that slowly destroys itself, leaving room for humility and friendship.
The story of Buzz Lightyear is nothing but the story of the facets of adult life, told through the filter and the colors of the Disney house. Sense of duty, euphoria, anxiety, worry, frustration and more elation, the chronicles of this toy from space accessories are an accurate account of many of our lives.
In Toy Story 1, Buzz sees an advertisement for his character on a television: glittering images and colossal feats of which the hero Lightyear is the protagonist are projected on the screen. It is in that moment that he realizes that he is just a toy, falling into a strong existential crisis. The screenwriters Disney of the film tell that this characteristic was inserted later because it seemed essential to relate this character in a realistic way and make him a more “wise and protective” personality.
Friendship with Woody also reminds us of something. First bitter enemies, they fight to win Andy’s heart, eventually building a strong bond of friendship. Even in the prequel Lightyear, released in theaters for Pixar on June 15, an attempt is made to humanize this character, the space hero of a very risky mission. The name instead is a tribute to Buzz Aldrinpilot of the Apollo 11 mission and second man to set foot on the Moon.
In short, Buzz Lightyear is just Disney’s way of reminding us that yes, heroes exist, but they are still human beings (or toys!).
