Sox is one of the characters in the Disney/Pixar film, Lightyear. He is a robotic cat issued by Star Command to Buzz Lightyear, but Star Command later tries to collect him after repealing the cat-issuing program. He single-handedly calculated the ideal crystal formula that could help Buzz reach hyper speed. He is very marketable.
Appearance[]
Sox is a robotic yellow furred tabby cat, with a white belly, green eyes and a blue collar with a silvery-nickel colored name tag and his name written on it.
Trivia[]
- In an early version of Lightyear, Sox was originally going to look and act way more cat-like (according to concept art) in which he would look more true-to-the-word to real life ginger cats; in addition, he also had no collar, had yellow eyes, and his body and tail had stripes. According to storyboard artist Dean Heezen, some additional cat-like things Sox could’ve done was stretch, stand on hind legs, ambush, and itch. He would’ve also coughed up hairballs, and he also would’ve had retractable claws and actual fangs. He even had tapidum lucidum, aka Night Vision (an animal's way of seeing in the dark) whenever Buzz or if any of the Junior Zap Patrol shone a bright light on him.
- A sticker of Sox was seen on Miriam Mendelsohn's skateboard in Turning Red.
- Sox's voice actor, Peter Sohn, became Pixar's new lucky charm.
