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. 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. However, due to the brief same-sex kiss, it became the first children's animated feature film to be given an NC16 rating in Singapore, equivalent to an R rating in the US. Contrary to people's expectations, this is not the first time Buzz is played by an actor other than Tim Allen. The list includes: In a second post-credits scene, the Zurg armor floats through space after the explosion, and the eyes of the suit light up, indicating he survived.

Detailed Plush Sculpting and Embroidered Features: Fall in love with the meticulous plush sculpting and delicate embroidery that bring Sox to life with remarkable attention to detail.The text at the start confirms that the first Toy Story film takes place in 1995, the year it was released. 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. I tell myself in my brain [Pixar creators] made him those colors to model after Dodger,” Evans told ET Canada, referring to Sox’s appearance. “When I first saw Sox, I said ‘you know aside from the fact that he’s a cat, all I see is Dodger.” 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". Sox resembles a ginger and white robot cat with green eyes and wears a blue collar with his name engraved on a tag.

Buzz quotes a number of lines that he (and Utility Belt Buzz from Toy Story 2) originally said in the Toy Story franchise (besides his signature catchphrase, "To infinity and beyond").

A crate resembling WALL-E in his cube-shaped body can be seen outside of the abandoned hangar where Buzz and Sox go in to find a new ship. Another crate like this is seen in a part of the mining facility as it breaks apart. But that moment was not the only scene stealer for Sox, as he also helped to close out the trailer by offering to help Buzz fall asleep with a wide range of sound effects. And while Buzz chooses white noise, the two say good night to each other before the robotic cat opens his mouth to give him the white noise he requested. It was weird and wonderful all in one moment.

This is the third Disney movie that changed its aspect ratio with the first being Brother Bear and the second being Enchanted.

James Brolin's character managed to steal a way to propel and use time (Crystalized Fuel, Pym Particles)

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 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. Toy Story: "Buzz Lightyear to Star Command. Come in, Star Command. Star Command, come in. Why don't they answer?" This is the second Disney animated spin-off to be produced in a 2:39:1 aspect ratio after Planes: Fire & Rescue, and the first to include a 1.43:1 aspect ratio in IMAX theaters. The camera pulling away from Sox and in between Buzz's legs, then pulling up to see Buzz in a heroic pose is a nod to his introduction in Toy Story.
