How Pixar ‘heroed up’ Buzz Lightyear’s spacesuit
Pixar’s Lightyear isn’t another installment in the Toy Story movie series; it’s meant as a gritty science fiction adventure. The movie follows Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Chris Evans) — the sci-fi movie character, not the toy — as he accidentally maroons himself and a whole ship of rangers on a barren planet. Buzz desperately tries to fix the ship and get himself off the planet, which means he goes on various expeditions into space. To craft his space epic, the creative team at Pixar went to the closest thing we have to real-life Space Rangers. At NASA, they talked to actual astronauts and took extensive pictures of all the gadgets and gizmos involved in space exploration.
