Tim Allen is paging Star Command one more time.
Nearly three decades after first bringing Buzz Lightyear to life in 1995’s Toy Story, the actor offered details about his first voice session for the upcoming Toy Story 5, set to hit theatres in June 2026.
“It’s really, really weird to get back in it,” the 71-year-old admitted to Collider in an interview published Dec. 27. “It was really a struggle to get, and then maybe two hours in, I was doing Buzz.”
The Santa Clause actor—who starred opposite Tom Hanks’ Sheriff Woody in all four previous Toy Story movies—teased that the latest installment in the beloved animated franchise is “very, very clever,” stressing that the filmmakers at Disney and Pixar aren’t just chasing box office glory.
“I don’t really believe it’s about the money,” he insisted. “I’m sure they want it to be a success, but that’s not why they did it. Had they not come up with a brilliant script, they wouldn’t have done it and they wouldn’t have called me and Tom.”
