It's not long before Woody learns more about his significance and his origin story. In his new environment, Woody is introduced to a new set of toys like Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack) and Stinky Pete (Kelsey Grammar.) The film jumps back and forth between Woody’s time in Al's possession and Buzz and the rest of the toys' attempt to rescue the cowboy. The series second installment, Toy Story 2, puts the spotlight on Woody after he is stolen by a greedy toy collector named Al in the hopes of completing his collection. The original Toy Story didn't focus on Buzz Lightyear or Woody’s backstories - instead, the 1995 film focused on building a world where humans' toys are sentient, as well as establishing the now famous relationship and the dynamic between Buzz and Woody.

The initial reaction to the trailer and film has been mixed, some praising the style and look of the film, while others wonder if there's a need to make a film of Lightyear's origins, especially since it is touched upon in the original Toy Story series.

Lightyear will be voiced by Marvel alum Chris Evans instead of the character's original voice actor, Tim Allen, as he goes from a test pilot to the iconic Space Ranger fans know him as. The film, which will be out next summer, appears to be the origin story of the beloved turned to life toy, Buzz Lightyear that viewers see alongside the cowboy Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) in the Toy Story series. The first teaser for Lightyear has been released.
