Life is never what we plan for and things don\u2019t always go the way we want it. But this movie is all about not dwelling on the past and wishing that things were different\u2014that seems like a waste of time. The movie teaches both adults and the youth that in spite of bad things and bad decisions that we need to rather focus on doing what is best with where one is right now and making the most of one\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As individuals we make bad decisions, but if we spend our lives regretting those bad decisions instead of investing in what\u2019s in front of our eyes, is that really living?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filmmakers called on actor Chris Evans to voice the accomplished Space Ranger, Buzz. \u201cLightyear\u201d also features the voices of Uzo Aduba as his commander and best friend, Alisha Hawthorne, and Peter Sohn as Buzz\u2019s dutiful robot cat, Sox. Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi and Dale Soules lend their voices to the Junior Zap Patrol\u2019s Izzy Hawthorne, Mo Morrison and Darby Steel, respectively, and James Brolin can be heard as the enigmatic Zurg. The voice cast also includes Mary McDonald-Lewis as onboard computer I.V.A.N., Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Commander Burnside, Efren Ramirez as Airman D\u00edaz, and Keira Hairston as Young Izzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lightyear | Official Trailer\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BwZs3H_UN3k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lightyear cast Interviews - (Dale Soules, Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi)\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xF0TEMr8PC0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chris Evans interview - Lightyear\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uAaS8keN4qc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney and Pixar will be releasing its highly rated film \u201cLightyear\u201d in South African theatres just in time for families to enjoy this upcoming youth day weekend from Friday 17 June, 2022.
