Fans Ecstatic as Tim Allen Announces Return to TOY STORY Franchise as Buzz
By Movieguide® Contributor
Tim Allen announced on Twitter that he will make his return to play the voice of Buzz Lightyear in TOY STORY 5.
He tweeted, “See ya soon Woody, you are a sad strange little man and you have my pity. And off we go to a number 5! To infinity and beyond!”
Allen’s announcement created major reactions to many on twitter. “Last Man Standing” actor Jet Jurgensmeyer replied to Allen’s tweet with, “YOU MADE MY DAY!”
In 2022, Disney Pixar decided to give Buzz Lightyear his own film, known as LIGHTYEAR, however this wouldn’t be as a toy but as a space soldier, flying through space and traveling through the universe. Chris Evans played the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the film, which didn’t make sense to many.
Tom Hanks, the voice of Woody, stated, “I don’t understand that.”
There was much hype around the film LIGHTYEAR, but the film did not fare as well as Pixar thought. The film had a $51 million box office debut but that was “disappointing for a brand as recognizable as Pixar,” especially considering the film took $200 million to produce.
Movieguide® previously reviewed the film TOY STORY:
The first totally computer animated movie is TOY STORY. It answers the question “What happens to my toys when I leave the room?” in a wonderful, moral, fantastic way. In the movie, Woody is a cowboy doll, voiced by Tom Hanks, who envies the new favorite toy in town, Buzz Lightyear, space ranger, voiced by Tim Allen. When their fighting gets Woody and Buzz left behind at a gas station, they have to start working together to get home. TOY STORY is funny, clean, wholesome, and virtuous — a classic beginning to a new genre and a masterpiece which is sure to capture the imaginations of young and old alike.
Will you watch TOY STORY 5 with the return of Tim Allen as Buzz?
