At least this time, the toy came from a contemporary reference for the kid. Which begged the question as to why the Hell a millennial like Andy would want him.
If you recall, “Toy Story 2” revealed that the Woody toy was originally a tie-in to a television show from the 1950s. I won’t fault suspicious viewers who think this sounds like a bunch of cash-grabbing malarkey, but I should point out that this retrofitting is not without Pixar precedent. Along the way, we’ll meet the Evil Emperor Zurg and learn where all those catchphrases folks have been saying for the past 27 years originated. “This is that film,” a title card tells us before plunging us into an animated space opera starring Chris Evans as Buzz. You see, Andy’s Mom bought a Buzz Lightyear toy back in 1995 because he was the main character in Andy’s favorite film. It’s the origin story of the reason the Buzz Lightyear toy wound up in Andy’s bedroom. “Lightyear” is not the origin story of the Buzz Lightyear toy from Pixar’s “Toy Story” series.
