Buzz Lightyear Is A Real Man, And Disney-Pixar Just Dropped The First Trailer For His Movie

Late last year, Disney-Pixar announced that they were making a Buzz Lightyear movie. Chris Evans, cast as the titular character, clarified for Twitter, "this isn’t Buzz Lightyear the toy. This is the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on," causing a minor meme.

Today, we finally get a glimpse of the human Buzz Lightyear, as Disney-Pixar revealed the first trailer for the film.

Human Buzz certainly looks different than toy Buzz, but the teaser promises a whimsical space adventure and boasts a trailercore remix of David Bowie's "Starman." Reaction on social media was largely enthusiastic, though some jokesters got their yuks in.

Patience wearing thin and anger visibly rising as I explain to my loved ones that LIGHTYEAR is the origin story of the real Buzz Lightyear. Not the toy. Idiots.
