'Lightyear': Keke Palmer praises the representation in the new Pixar film

Keke Palmer said it was important for new Pixar animation Lightyear to put forward the message that people of colour and the LGBT+ community have "always been a part of the story".

In the new space swashbuckler framed as being Andy from Toy Story's favourite movie, the star plays Izzy Hawthorne — a close ally of Chris Evans's take on Buzz.

Lightyear comes to IMAX and UK cinemas on 17 June.
