If you want a sneak peek at Lightyear before it comes, you’re in luck because Pixar has released a number of trailers you can check out. The first trailer, set to David Bowie’s song "Starman", teases the epic scope of Buzz’s time-traveling and space-exploring adventure, while the second has a bigger focus on highlighting Buzz’s new allies. Both trailers feature a number of neat Toy Story easter eggs that just make us even more excited about this movie. It looks like Pixar could have another massive hit on their hands, so the only real question is when we can see it!

Is Lightyear in Movie Theaters?

In the United States, Lightyear is currently scheduled to come out exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 17, 2022. The runtime is yet to be confirmed, but according to IMDB, it will be about 100 minutes.

Lightyear will be Pixar’s first theatrically released film since Onward in March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that unlike their previous three films, Soul, Luca, and Turning Red, which were released directly on Disney+, you’ll have to wait a while before Lightyear is released on the streaming service.

When and Where Will Lightyear Be Streaming Online?

Despite the exclusive theatrical debut, Disney+ is the home of all Pixar films, and this is where you’ll find Lightyear once it's available for streaming. There is currently no confirmed date for its Disney+ release. However, following the pattern of recent releases like Shang-Chi and Eternals, these films both appeared on Disney+ between two and three and a half months after their theatrical release dates. It is likely that Lightyear could fall into a similar timeframe.

Will Lightyear Arrive on DVD and Blu-Ray?

For those waiting for a DVD or Blu-ray release, Pixar’s most recent film Turning Red, which was first released in March 2022, became available on home media in May. Seeing this two-month timeframe, Lightyear could similarly be released on home media roughly in mid-to-late August.
