“To infinity and Beyond” – A famous saying by Buzz Lightyear, one of the film’s most iconic phrases. Still, we don’t know the buzz. At least not the real buzz.
That will change. Pixar’s upcoming film Lightyear introduces Buzz to the world like never before and saves the day by flying through space. The buzz (also known as the toy version) we met in Toy Story was a commodity. this movie. Yes, because the Pixar world is going meta.
“In the film, we say. [Andy] I got rumors about my birthday [Lightyear] It was his favorite movie,” director Angus MacLane told Total Film in a new issue of the magazine featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi on the cover. “So I actually feel like this movie could be in the early ’80s, late ’70s. . It’s probably like his favorite movie he’s seen on VHS.”
Adding to the meta dimension of this effort, MacLane said, “I imagined this was going to be a movie and a spin-off comic came out later. And I made a Toy Story toy out of this comic design…”
So we need a new voice to stand out from Tim Allen’s buzz. Enter Chris Evans. “You run the risk of being imitated in the first place because your voice is so iconic,” MacLane says. “I wanted something else.”
The key to this buzz was that he didn’t fit in with his surroundings and was a bit self-righteous to make sure it echoed the buzz we know. But MacLane was very keen on not feeling like too much of a Toy Story movie. “If you remind the audience too much that this is a movie, they don’t care anymore about the dangers of the characters… It was. Character.”

“To infinity and beyond” – one of cinema’s most iconic lines, famously said by Buzz Lightyear. Yet, we don’t really know Buzz; not the real Buzz, at least.
That’s about to change. Pixar’s upcoming movie Lightyear will introduce the world to Buzz as you’ve never seen him before, flying around space and saving the day. The Buzz we met in Toy Story – AKA the toy version – was a tie-in piece of merchandise for this movie. Because yes, the Pixar universe is getting meta.
“In the film, we say [Andy] got Buzz for his birthday, and [Lightyear] was his favorite movie,” director Angus MacLane tells Total Film in the new issue of the magazine, featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi on the cover. “So I actually feel like this movie might be early ’80s, late ’70s. It’s more like his favorite movie that he saw on VHS, probably.”
Adding to the meta-dimension of this endeavor, MacLane continues, “I imagined that this was a movie, and later there was a spin-off cartoon. And then the Toy Story toy was made off of that cartoon design…”
Hence the need for a new voice to differentiate from Tim Allen’s Buzz. Step in Chris Evans. “From early on, because the voice is so iconic, you run the risk of imitation,” says MacLane. “I wanted it to be something that was different.”
An essential to this Buzz was that he be at odds with his surroundings, and a little self-serious, to ensure an echo of the Buzz we know. But MacLane was keen that it not feel too much like a Toy Story movie. “If you remind the audience of it being a movie too much, then they stop caring about the peril of the characters… One of the things I learned from Brad Bird, working on The Incredibles, was, make sure the audience is worried about the characters’ safety.”
