Sox is the tritagonist of Pixar's animated feature film Lightyear, a Toy Story spin-off prequel film centered on Buzz Lightyear's origin story.

He is the robotic cat and Buzz's personal companion. He is a ginger and white robot cat with green eyes and wears a blue collar with his name engraved on a tag. He does everything from giving personal opinions to reproducing sleep sounds.

He is voiced by Peter Sohn, who also voiced Russell in George and AJ, Emile in Ratatouille, and Squishy in Monsters University.

Appearance[]

Sox is a robotic yellow furred tabby cat, with a white belly and a blue name tag with his name written on it. At the end of the film Sox gets a upgrade, he now has a space ranger suit.

Trivia[]

Sox's name is a play on the word "socks", which is a human everyday object, most likely to him after as a name for socks the cat, as it is a popular domestic cat name among cat owners. However, in Australian origin, the name Sox means "Saviour".
When Sox greets Buzz, he says his lines that are similar to Baymax from Big Hero 6 which are, "Hello, I am Baymax. Your personal healthcare companion".
A sticker of Sox was seen on Miriam Mendelsohn's skateboard in Turning Red.
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.
