After not succeeding in theaters around the world, the Spin-Off starring Buzz Lightyear is very close to landing on the Disney platform, where they hope to take flight in hours of viewing.

Although there was a lot of expectation with Lightyear, because it is the story of one of the most beloved characters in the world of animation, the reality is that in theaters it has not worked at all.
It may be that Toy Story fans are already very old (the original is from 1995) and are not interested in the lives and adventures of Buzz, or that a Buzz Spin-Off simply does not have the pull that was always believed. Be that as it may, the premiere was a real disaster. A blot in Pixar’s history.
Throughout the pandemic, Disney decided to release all Pixar movies on Disney+ instead of in theaters. Soul, Luca and Turning Red debuted on the streaming service directly, as you may remember.
That is why there was expectation with this premiere, since last month, Lightyear was the first Pixar movie to hit theaters since 2020. Now at Disney they have announced that the film will arrive on Disney + on August 3.
This shows that studios are increasingly comfortable hanging their movies just six or seven weeks after their theatrical release. Now that Wednesday is the big day for the premieres on Disney +, it is no coincidence that the first Wednesday of August is day 3.
