Chris Evans Interview: Lightyear and the Movie Toys He Had to Have as a Kid
288Just like every Toy Story sequel that was announced since the release of the brilliant 1995 original, when news broke that Pixar was making Lightyear, I caught myself wondering why and how? How are you possibly going to make another movie in the Toy Story series that’s as good as what came before? But, it turns out, the creators over at Pixar had a very clever way of approaching their Buzz Lightyear prequel.
Lightyear isn’t the story of the Buzz Lightyear we came to know and love in the Toy Story films. The Chris Evans version of the character featured in this new film is actually the movie character that would have inspired Andy to want a Buzz Lightyear toy to begin with. Basically, Lightyear is to Andy what films like Star Wars is to us.
It’s a very clever spin on a prequel story. One that, like Toy Story, encourages viewers to reassess their own connection with their favorite childhood toys. In this particular case, Lightyear had me thinking a whole lot about the movie toys I absolutely had to have as a kid, so I opted to pose that question to Chris Evans during our chat about the film. What's the first movie that inspired him to run out and buy all the toys?
Check out what he said about that and more in this interview!
