Product Information

Andrew Stanton, who served as the executive producer of Lightyear, previously voiced Zurg in Toy Story 2, to which Zurg himself is voiced by James Brolin in this film.

At the Terillium Mine, Sox, Buzz, and the rest of the Junior Patrol, arrive at the facility and enter a facility within the mine and just as they enter, four AI devices activate and trap Sox and his allies in capture cones, leaving them unable to escape; after Darby and Izzy are caught in the cone where Mo was trapped, Sox ends up getting trapped as well. Buzz asks Sox if there is a possible way to disarm the traps, but Sox is unable reach the controls that can help him deactivate the traps, leading the four to slam their cone into the control after Buzz keeps the door open, although they are unable to disarm the traps; Buzz and his allies (who are all in the same cone) managed to slam the control very hard while the door is still open, albeit pressure they put causes a part of the platform carrying part of the building to collapse. Just as the part of the building collapses, Buzz tosses Sox onto Izzy's hand to help protect him just as Buzz manages to retrieve the coil and escape the collapsing part of the building. Zurg is revealed to have survived and grabs the crystal, forcing Buzz to eject (getting his wings in the process) and blows up the crystal along with Zurg. He flies and rescues his friends by steering their ship towards the ground and manage to fall with style. Buzz admits that he blew up the crystal, but has accepted his life on Tikani Prime as his home. With the whole team safe, they are approached by the rescue team along with a very angry Burnside. Burnside reprimands Buzz for the years of going against protocol, only to congratulate him for saving the colony. Wanting to restart the Space Ranger program, he offers any member of the Zappers to be a part of his team, but Buzz has already decided on his own.The text at the start confirms that the first Toy Story film takes place in 1995, the year it was released. Truly, Sox is our star and we can’t wait to see more of him and his relationship with Buzz Lightyear. But we want to know what you thought of Sox. This is the first Pixar film to be released theatrically since Onward, as Soul, Luca, and Turning Red were released on Disney+ instead of being released theatrically as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Toy Story: "Terrain seems a bit unstable. No readout yet if the air is breathable, and there seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere." This is also the third overall animated Disney production to feature a same-sex couple kissing, after The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder episode " Father Figures" and The Owl House episode " Clouds on the Horizon".

Despite being an intelligent robot and able to talk, Sox still behaves like a real cat, rubbing against people's legs, purring when he gets affection, and getting distracted by laser points.

Sox may have been inspired by Chris Evans’ dog.

As a result, the film was banned in China, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Palestine, Bahrain, Indonesia, Turkey, and Malaysia, [10] [11] making it Pixar's second film to have experienced international censorship, after Onward. Poseable Legs and Head: Enjoy the poseable legs and head of Sox, allowing for dynamic play and imaginative storytelling. Create exciting adventures inspired by Disney and Pixar's Lightyear! The ending of the film has Buzz and his new team shouting "To Infinity and Beyond!" as they fly to a new adventure, much like the ending of The Adventure Begins. This is also the ninth Pixar film to have a post-credits scene after Finding Nemo, Cars, Brave, Monsters University, Finding Dory, Cars 3, Luca, and Turning Red. Buzz is reunited with Alisha, who is now his superior and brings him up to date on how his trip is affected by time and ask that he abandon the mission. Buzz additionally learns that in the intervening years, Alisha met a scientist named Kiko and is now engaged to her while the colony has chosen to build living quarters. Buzz is given his and is additionally given a small robotic cat named Sox who was designed to be his close companion, while also displaying useful technological devices within him. Buzz has a nightmare about his crash and decides to give Sox a mission to find a suitable formula for a fuel source. He meets up with Alisha and manages to convince her to let him go again until they find the right fuel to get off the planet.

On February 8, Pixar dropped a full Lightyear trailer that is giving us a much better look at what we can expect from this Toy Story origin story. And while the focus should be on Buzz Lightyear (of course), for us it was all about Sox. Furthermore, Sox follows alongside Mo, Izzy, and Darby in a plan to rescue Buzz who is captured by Zurg. Just as they enter, Sox detects two Buzz signals (consisting of Buzz and Zurg - the latter who is revealed to be an older version of Buzz), planning to triangulate in a plan to help the Junior Patrol to find Buzz and rescue him from Zurg. Later, Zurg crushes his own Sox who attempts to escape with Buzz, confronting him while competing in a plan for Buzz to obtain the crystal for the Armadillo's fuel. When asked about the relationship between Lightyear and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, a Toy Story spin-off series that also serves as an in-universe production starring the Buzz character, MacLane, who directed the CG opening sequence for Star Command, [3] said that he did not have it in mind while working on the film, but always pictured the series being developed in-universe after a trilogy of Lightyear films. [4] [5] He later explained that Lightyear serves as a "live-action" film within the Toy Story universe, whereas Star Command serves as a hand-drawn animated series based on the film, from which the toy versions of Buzz and Zurg derive from. [6] [7] Casting [ ] It was revealed in March 2022 that a scene featuring a same-sex kiss between Alicia Hawthorne and another woman was initially cut, because it was random and didn't help the storyline. However, due to then-current Disney CEO Bob Chapek's response to the passing of the Floridian Parental Rights in Education Bill (also known as the "Don't Say Gay Bill") and the internal uproar it caused within Disney, the scene was reinstated. [2]In a mid-credits scene, Burnside is sitting in his office looking over papers when a giant insect is zapped by the laser forcefield, something that makes him very proud. Darby is seen wearing a Space Ranger uniform that belonged to a ranger named Tempus, a nod to one of Buzz's earlier names Tempus from Morph. The red cones that the characters get trapped in are a reference to the traffic cones that the toys use to cross the road in Toy Story 2. Just like Chris Evans' character, Steve Rogers, the Lightyear version of Buzz ends up in the future over eighty-nine years later. But the thing that made Sox so fun and special is that he clearly has a personality. At one point, Sox makes it clear that even he thinks he has made a mistake when it comes to being at Buzz’s side as he tells him,

A fun fact about this cat is that he was modeled after a real-life dog. Lightyear star Chris Evans, who voices Buzz, revealed to ET Canada that the creation of Sox and his relationship with Buzz was inspired by the actor’s real-life bond with his dog, Dodger.

Sox is voiced by a Pixar veteran.

While Sox might immediately bring to mind Jonesy from “Alien” and “Aliens” (“Aliens” is MacLane’s favorite film), he said that Sox’s coloring wasn’t an explicit reference to that James Cameron classic. “I mean, we tried different colors even, and I ended up going with orange because it just stood out better from the rest of the outfits,” MacLane explained. “Obviously from Morris the cat to Garfield to Jonesy, there’s a rich history of orange cats in popular culture, but it just ended up being a contrast thing.” Sox’s design also combines the movie’s aesthetic directive of being “chunky” like consumer products of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. “He feels very much like a robot of that time,” MacLane said. The film is rated PG by the MPA, unlike the main films of the Toy Story franchise which were rated G. We asked Evans if his relationship with his very social media-worthy dog Dodger inspired Buzz’s relationship with Sox. “I was hoping that Dodger informed the creation of Sox,” Chris Evans joked. “That’s not the case. But you can’t deny the coloring. It’s pretty similar.”
