This is not a Toy Story film. It is presented as the sci-fi blockbuster movie that the human Andy (from Toy Story ) saw in 1995 that made him want a Buzz Lightyear action figure. It follows the "real" Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger who, after a test flight gone wrong, crash-lands on a hostile planet with his crew. He volunteers to test the hyperspace fuel repeatedly, each test costing him four years of time while only four minutes pass for everyone else. By the time he succeeds, his best friend has aged and died, and a robot army has taken over the planet. He must team up with a ragtag group of rookie cadets to correct his mistakes and learn that no one succeeds alone.
Flik is an inventive but clumsy ant in a struggling colony forced to give food to a gang of bullying grasshoppers led by Hopper. After one of Flik's inventions accidentally destroys the offering, he volunteers to leave the colony to find "tough warrior bugs" to defend them. He instead returns with a bumbling troupe of circus bugs he mistakes for heroes. When the grasshoppers return for more food, Flik must rally his fake warriors and his own colony to stand up for themselves. animated movies by pixar
