A certain Toy Story spinoff and yet another Star Wars prequel are among the big titles coming to Disney+ this August.
On August 3rd, Tim Allen’s out and Chris Evans is in as the voice of Woody’s best friend in Lightyear. The “Toy Story” spinoff caused a great deal of confusion regarding what its basic concept was in the lead-up to its release, but the film explained all: Lightyear is the film that characters such as Andy watched and fell in love with in the main Toy Story universe.
It follows Buzz struggling to make his way back home through space and time after he’s left stranded on a hostile planet millions of light-years away from Earth. Zurg and his army of menacing robots are on hand to complicate matters, but at least Buzz has a cute robot cat companion to keep him company on his adventure
At the end of the month, Andor is set to explore another new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy. A prequel to Rogue One, the series will follow Cassian Andor (Diego Luna reprising his Rogue One role) as he embarks on the path to becoming a Rebel hero. Stellan Skarsgård and Fiona Shaw are part of the strong cast, with episodes set to be released weekly until November.
