“Buzz’s world was always something I was excited about,” said director Angus MacLane. “In ‘Toy Story’, there seemed to be this incredible backstory to him being a space ranger that’s only touched upon, and I always wanted to explore that world further. So my ‘Lightyear’ pitch was, ‘What was the movie that Andy saw that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy?’ I wanted to see that movie. And now I’m lucky enough to get to make it.”
