- Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "
Lightyear ." Pixar 's "Lightyear" has three short extra scenes after the film ends.
If you head out to see Pixar's newest
You see, "Lightyear" has three extra scenes after the movie wraps up. But it's easy to miss the third and think the film only contains two. Don't make the mistake of dipping out too early.
The first scene plays mid-credits; the second bonus scene plays after all of the credits roll. The third scene doesn't play until after you think the movie is over and the Disney castle logo appears on the screen.
The crowd in my press screening started to get up to leave after the second scene played only to stop when the third one started playing.
The first two scenes are light-hearted throwaway gags that reference earlier moments in the film.
It's the third, which teases the potential for a sequel, that you'll want to catch.
If you dipped out early and missed any of the trio, we have you covered. Here's what to know about each scene and what the third one may mean for any future "
What happens in the first end-credits scene: We see Commander Burnside again
Commander Burnside (Isiah Whitlock Jr.) is in his office reading with his feet up on his desk.
A giant bug tries to enter the dome but is zapped by the dome's protective shield. Burnside chuckles, saying, "Laser shield," and the scene ends.
Earlier in the film, it's mentioned that a laser shield protects the community from any outside alien threats.
What happens in the 2nd end-credits scene: We revisit D.E.R.I.C.
The team abandoned the robot D.E.R.I.C. (voiced by director Angus MacLane) when he tried to give Buzz and the Junior Zap Patrol directions. This scene brings us back to D.E.R.I.C who is still rambling off directions with no one within earshot.
"Now, should you prefer a more scenic route," is among a few of the things D.E.R.I.C. says in this brief gag scene.
What happens in the 3rd end-credits scene: Zurg is alive
The final end-credits scene opens in space with a seemingly lifeless Zurg floating around.
The robot's eyes glow to life before the scene ends, suggesting he's still alive and vengeful.
Could we get a 'Lightyear' sequel? Never say never.
The final end-credits sequence certainly suggests that there's more to come between Buzz and his nemesis Zurg.
The film shockingly revealed that Zurg wasn't Buzz's father (as "Toy Story 2" revealed), but that he was an older, parallel universe Buzz who became obsessed with fixing his original timeline instead of accepting the way things turned out.
A sequel could certainly go the "Cinderella 3" route and explore a "what if" scenario where Zurg succeeds in his mission. In the process, Alisha loses her wife and family and Buzz needs to fix the timeline. Perhaps that was considered for "Lightyear," but it was too similar to some
Producer Galyn Susman told Murphy's Universe the possibility of a sequel isn't out of the question.
"I would think that we could tell a second movie from all the ideas we rejected from the first movie, but that's usually the case with our movies," Susman said.
She added: "Maybe? How's that for a very definitive answer? We're really sort of just finishing this up and launching this baby and we're so excited to see this film out in theaters and see how people respond. And then I think we're both going to go home and sleep for a couple weeks. We'll think about it then."
If "Lightyear" performs well theatrically — the last two entries in the "Toy Story" franchise crossed $1 billion each at the
