Tim Allen, our beloved Buzz Lightyear, is officially back in action for Toy Story 5! Yes, the 71-year-old comedic legend recently embarked on his first voice recording session for the next chapter of toy-tastic adventures—and he’s already teasing the juicy details. Well, kind of.
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to say,” Tim coyly confessed to Collider, channeling some serious secret-agent vibes. “But yeah, I just did the first five-hour session for Buzz, like, a week ago. It’s super weird to jump back into it. And no, I can’t tell you anything.”
Wow, Tim. Thanks for the suspense. Guess we’ll all just sit here clutching our Woody dolls, waiting for more breadcrumbs.
Toy Story 5: Clever Plot or Just a Giant Piggy Bank?
Addressing the inevitable “Is this just a cash grab?” question (because let’s face it, five movies is teetering on Fast & Furious levels of sequel mania), Tim put those rumors to bed faster than a toddler with a lullaby.
“It’s a super clever story,” he assured, likely while wearing Buzz’s imaginary wings. “Look, nobody’s out here saying, ‘Let’s just make some quick bucks.’ If the script wasn’t absolutely brilliant, they wouldn’t have called me and Tom [Hanks].” Translation: if Woody and Buzz are involved, you know it’s legit.
But Tim didn’t stop there. “Two hours in, I was Buzz again,” he said, presumably after shouting “To infinity and beyond!” at least 50 times to get back in character. He went on to gush about how fun it is to be a toy astronaut again. Honestly, Tim, we get it. You’re living the dream.
The Buzz About the Process
Apparently, voicing a beloved animated character isn’t as simple as just showing up and talking like a space ranger. “We’re a year out,” Tim explained. “I’ve made it to the third act, but we’ll revisit, clean it up, and then I’ll do it like five more times.”
Yes, making Toy Story magic is a marathon, not a sprint. But according to Tim, it’s all worth it: “It’s really good. Like, really good.” Are you hyped yet? Because we’re about to book tickets for June 19, 2026, right now.
Final Thoughts: Blessed to Buzz
Tim wrapped things up on a heartfelt note: “I’m so blessed to be Buzz Lightyear, to be honest.” Honestly, Tim, we’re the blessed ones. Whether it’s epic space battles, existential toy crises, or just a hilariously over-the-top Buzz Lightyear speech, we’re here for it all.
Mark your calendars. The countdown to infinity—and June 19, 2026—has officially begun!
