'Lightyear' TRIVIA!!!!

Here are some fun interesting tidbits for Disney and Pixar's 'Lightyear'!!

• The ship's internal voice activated navigator (IVAN), the equivalent of a GPS, acts like a real-world, misbehaving GPS. It's voiced by Mary McDonald-Lewis who's also the voice of OnStar's navigation system.

• Chris Evans shares the same birthday with Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz Lightyear in the "Toy Story" franchise; both were born in June 13th (Evans was born in 1981 and Allen was born in 1953).

• This is the first animated film for actor James Brolin.

• On Buzz's ship, there's a piece of technology that gives him trouble. He pops out the unit, blows into it to clear out the dust, and sticks it back in, after which it miraculously works. This is similar to a widely-used technique for the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) when game cartridges failed to load properly. (However, Nintendo at the time warned against it, and many game experts since then have debunked the practice as an urban legend. Blowing on the cartridge actually tended to make the problem worse by corroding the copper pins, making it harder for the NES connector pins to make a clean connection.)

• Pixar's first spinoff and second prequel after Monsters University (2013).

• The scene in the foggy forest is a nod to the Star Wars franchise.

• IVAN read backwards is NAVI for navigation system.

• This is the second Toy Story spin-off after Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (2000).

• When doing his Mission Logs, Lightyear says the same Reoccurring line from the Toy Story Movies when landing on "Another Planet": "Buzz Lightyear to Mission Log. There appears to be No Sign of Intelligent Life anywhere." Every instance of this Line is also interrupted in some way.
