Buzz Lightyear from "Toy Story 3" is one of the characters in the Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar animated film.
Buzz Lightyear ("Toy Story 3") is a heroic space ranger action figure, complete with laser beam, karate-chop action and pop-out wings. Buzz is a boy's dream toy who becomes a quick favourite of young Andy, and the closest of buddies with Woody. While Buzz's sole mission used to be defeating the evil Emperor Zurg, what he now cares about most is keeping his toy family together. Buzz's
Tim Allen, who returns as the voice of Buzz, recognizes the magic in the new film. "'Toy Story 3' is a remarkable achievement with a story that is so good they could have marketed the storyboard version," says Allen. "Even though I knew the story and had read the ending, it grabbed me in the best possible way; I know audiences are going to have the same reaction. There are great action sequences, but the beauty of the movie is the evolution of the subtleties in the shot selection and how it is directed. Pixar just keeps getting better and better. This is a very simple story about friendships and staying together. I love that the ending is really a new beginning. You realize that one door shuts and another one opens. It's very, very emotional.
"The great thing for me about working on the 'Toy Story' films is the great friendships I've made with all the people at Pixar and with Tom Hanks," adds Allen. "Tom and I really like working together and being around each other. I totally respect his talent and I think he feels the same about me."
Allen was a fan of Buzz's storyline. "In this third film, Buzz gets to expand his role," says the actor. "When he accidentally gets reset, he speaks perfect Spanish. He's a conquistador and a bull fighter. It's pretty hysterical. I really do like being Buzz. He's a character I developed with John Lasseter and he's a lot of fun to play."
