Tim Allen is thrilled to announce that he has embarked on an exciting journey for the upcoming chapter of the beloved Toy Story franchise!
The talented 71-year-old actor is ready to step back into his iconic role as Buzz Lightyear for the highly anticipated fifth installment of the series. Recently, he shared the news about his first voice recording session for this film, reflecting on his experiences and emotions throughout the process.
?Well, I don?t know what I?m supposed to say. Yes, I just did the first five-hour session for Buzz, probably a week ago,? he told Collider. ?It?s really, really weird to get back in it. I can?t tell you anything.? This candid revelation showcases how deeply connected he feels to the character, making fans even more excited.
Tim went on to assure fans that the story is far from being just a ?cash grab.? He emphasized the ingenuity behind the script, highlighting the team?s dedication to crafting a meaningful narrative that resonates with audiences.

?It?s a very, very clever story. Do you wanna do five of these? I don?t really believe it?s about the money. I?m sure they want it to be a success, but that?s not why they did it,? Tim stated. He expressed confidence in the storytelling, pointing out that had the creative team not developed an exceptional script, they wouldn?t have proceeded with the project or involved him and Tom [Hanks]. ?It?s really clever. It was really a struggle to get, and then maybe two hours in, I was doing Buzz.? His enthusiasm is palpable, and it reflects the high expectations for the film.
?I?m so blessed to be Buzz Lightyear, to be honest. It?s gonna be fun,? he continued. ?I think we?re a year out. I?ve gotten up to the third act. We?ll do the third act. And then, we?ll go back and clean it. And then, I?ll do it about five more times. It?s a really good story, guys. It?s really good.? His commitment to the character and the overall quality of the film is evident, and fans can?t help but share in his excitement.
