Buzz Owned Lightning McQueen | Pixar Film Theory

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

So what you’re telling me is that Buzz Lightyear was played by Steve McQueen’s son, Chad McQueen, the actor who played Dutch in the Karate Kid. He would’ve been 35 at the time of Lightyear’s release in-universe, and he raced just like his father until 2006 after crashing during training for the Daytona 24 hour race. It took him a year to finish his physical rehabilitation, and by that point he became the owner of McQueen Racing, LLC, a custom motorcycle and car company. Cars 3 might as well have been based on that part of his life.

Anyone else think Buzz (or the actor who plays Buzz) looks a lot like Mr Incredible? If Dash grew up to be a speed loving actor (similar to mcqueen/newman/cruise) could the actor be Dash? Does that timeline even work?

[@sadhbhcorr942]

The superhero, Thunderhead, died on November 15th, 1958, according to Edna Mode. So that means Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl got married shortly before that, presumably a year ago (1957). The film then flashes forward 15 years in the future, bringing us to 1972, and Dash is 10 years old at this point, so he was born in 1962. So, if Lightyear is a movie within the Pixar universe that premiered in 1995, by subtracting 1995 from 1962, we get 33. So, Dash would be 33 years old at that point so the timeline fits up for Dash to have played Buzz. I love this idea so much.

I also imagine him in a lot of sports and/or other action movies. The Parr family are literally in Coco, as a painting on a wall in the Land of the Dead.

I mean the buzz lightyear was very loosely based off of Star Wars which the OG trilogy started in the 70’s and the prequel trilogy was late 90’s- early 00’s, so I wouldn’t be surprised that the Pixar universe movies would be somewhat more ahead of the time than ours. I think that in-universe, the lightyear movie had a LOT of practical effects like a remote control puppet of Sox and giant suits for zurg and other robot characters along with early cgi effects like laser blasts, just like Star Wars does behind the scenes. But reality is that it’s just a cgi animated movie. I miss the times when Pixar would make fake bloopers and in universe marketing like interviews, they were so fun.

[@422katieleigh]

You’ve convinced me that Lightning was the consciousness of a former Racecar driver, but I see almost nothing in this video that connects that to Buzz other than that an actor could theoretically also become a racecar driver. This was a video about how Lightning is Steve McQueen, not about how he is Buzz. What you need to be able to do is show that Buzz is also Steve McQueen in the Pixar universe.

[@carlrood4457]

Amen. They probably didn't go that far because Steve McQueen died in 1980 and could not have played Buzz (and probably wouldn't have been willing to if he were alive).

[@chansesturm7103]

@@carlrood4457 In their defense, I think they were simply trying to set a real-world precedent if their idea seemed unrealistic at first, and I think they did well in setting that precedent. So Lightning McQueen's former human self wouldn't have been Steve McQueen himself, just a Pixarverse analog for him. However, I do agree with Katie Robinson that they could have done more to directly link Buzz's actor in Lightyear to the Cars universe, which is pretty impossible because it doesn't seem like we'd see much of this actor outside of his role in the in-universe Lightyear film. Maybe we'll see references to this actor or the Lightyear film in future Pixar projects going forward, but at this moment this theory's main premise seems fairly flimsy. If it were actually a video on McQueen's real-world inspirations, then it'd make significantly more sense.

[@danielleos3593]

@@chansesturm7103 I get what you’re saying, however, Ben at the beginning of the video explained how cars in the Cars movies are created (with their personality and technological limitations stuff), and that is supposed to tie in where the personality and conscience of Mcqueen really are from. Yeah, yeah, I get that it’s a bit of a stretch and it’s definitely not my favorite theory of theirs, but it’s really funny to think that there’s a guy out there in the Pixar Universe who filmed a lot of movies and was a racer AAAAND also happens to play Lightyear

Right? I'd even go so far as to say that he's convinced me that Lightning is the consciousness of Steve McQueen, but he did nothing to prove to me that *the actor playing Buzz* is Steve McQueen, so I don't see how Lightning = Buzz beyond the idea that it's technically possible for someone to be an actor and a racecar driver.

I actually feel this is one of the better SCB theory videos I’ve seen in awhile. I also like that you’re in a small way introducing a younger audience to Steve MeQueen and Paul Newman.

Yeah, that’s what I always said ever since Lightyear was first announced.

Steve McQueen was an avid motor cyclist. When he was working his way up, he raced them to earn money. That became the back story of his character in The Great Escape (based on a true story. Look it up and watch the movie). He insisted on a scene of him riding a motor cycle be added to the movie. He also acted as a stunt rider since they didn't have enough stuntmen who could ride as well as him. There's actually a scene where he's chasing himself. However, he did not do the famous jump in the movie, as he was too valuable for something that dangerous.

I think you may have it backwards: a younger guy, who was a great race car driver, would make an excellent spaceship pilot with his better than normal reflexes and vision. Buzz (or the actor playing him) seems a little old to start an entirely new career as a race car driver - plus, as he movie was such a success, he may have been making sequels for years afterwards. Sort of how the best of the best in the Army get picked for Special Forces or the best of the pilots become "Top Gun" pilots. Also, a young guy who was a good race car driver may turn into a good aircraft pilot who could then be recruited for a Space mission. Of course, this depends on if the actor is the one who was a race car driver, then a pilot. If he was just an actor, he could have started by making race car movies like the "Fast and Furious" franchise, then moved on to playing "Buzz Lightyear" type roles.

I never knew people DIDNT think Lightning McQueen was based on Steve McQueen! I always thought that! BTW - Paul Newman and Mario Andretti were partners in a racing team!

All he has to do is wear some square glasses to become Dr. Freeman from Half-Life

There is actually a third actor that comes immediately to mind James Dean. He died very young but before that he was very passionate about cars maybe even more so than his acting and he participated in races against Ken Miles the racer portrayed in the Ford v Ferrari movies so that is a full circle again

[@ZBixby]

You forgot a third American Actor that went down that route. Frankie Munez. While he wasn't necessarily a big time movie star (he did have some films of course that did well but he never escaped from childhood/teenage acting) he went on to have a pretty successful racing career until an injury to his wrist got him.

I think we need an updated full Pixar theory timeline and song

[@PatrickPaul1203]

Let me guess Lightning is a Loki too? Ps: I hope you have a nice day

[@ked49]

No he is a mobius. Where he wanted to race instead of jet-skiing

[@michaeljanes5726]

The "General Motors" idea here...... I definitely had to do a double take and rewind haha. Very good subtle joke 👏👏

[@NivaOranir]

I don't really get the connection from the actor who plays buzz to lightning McQueen. I get the loose threads but I don't think theres enough here to add to the over all theory.

I would like an updated full Pixar theory video please?

[@SamTomMillerMusic]

So if cars take their personalities from their owners, how does that apply to vehicles shared by multiple people. How do used cars work? Do they take the personality of their first owner? Their most recent owner? The one that owned them the longest? Drove them the most? Do we have several cars that share their exact personality with other cars because many people own several cars? How does this apply to other vehicles, esp ones owned by companies where multiple people drive the same vehicle? Busses, planes, helicopters, trains. Does a boat take after it's captain, navigator, or the one actually steering it? Seems like there's a LOT of theory fodder to mine here, which is just getting brushed aside to force the Pixar theory to "work."

I just thought of an AU where toys take the personalities of the children that played with them, and cars end up obsessed with being driven by humans. nooooo
