Toy Story 5 will see the return of Buzz Lightyear, and through this, Pixar is confirming its biggest and most obvious mistake with Lightyear.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Toy Story 5 will have Tim Allen back as Buzz Lightyear, and with this, Pixar is confirming the most obvious mistake they made in Lightyear. Toy Story has become Pixar’s most profitable universe, becoming a franchise that has covered movies, TV series, short films, comic books, video games, and more.
Toy Story 4 followed Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the toys as they went on a road trip with Bonnie, where Woody reunited with Bo Peep, who’s now a “Lost Toy”. At the end of Toy Story 4, Woody decided to stay with Bo Peep, while Buzz went back home with Bonnie and the rest. The Toy Story franchise later expanded with the prequel movie Lightyear, which is the in-universe movie that made way for the toy of Buzz Lightyear.
After a lot of speculation around the future of the Toy Story franchise, in February 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that three franchises will continue with one more film each, and one of those is the world of Toy Story. That same month, Tim Allen confirmed that he will be back as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 5, and in June 2023, it was revealed that Woody will also return for a fifth adventure.
Why Lightyear's Recast Was A Mistake Pixar’s plan of not wanting the audience to associate Lightyear and the Toy Story films too closely by having Tim Allen back as Buzz Lightyear definitely backfired. While it’s understandable that Pixar wanted to mark a difference between fun toy Buzz Lightyear and action hero Buzz, and Evans made a good job as the latter, it didn’t really make sense once it was revealed that Buzz Lightyear isn’t a real person.
After four Toy Story movies, Tim Allen’s voice is the only one associated with Buzz Lightyear, so it truly threw many off that he didn’t voice the Space Ranger in the prequel. Chris Evans made an action hero out of Lightyear’s Buzz and it was great, and it’s not his fault that the recast didn’t work, as it wouldn’t have worked with anyone who isn’t Tim Allen.
