Tim Allen has gone to infinity and beyond once again to bring fans another outing as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 5.
After the Golden Globe winner wrapped the fifth installment of the Disney Pixar franchise on Friday, he shared a heartfelt message about his return to voice the animated toy astronaut in the Andrew Stanton-written and directed sequel.
“I did wrap my part in Toy Story 5 Friday. Really affected me,” wrote Allen on X. “I love these creators and love this story and blessed to be in this wonderful space suit for so many years.”

Allen previously teased an “unbelievable” opening scene with his character, noting that the fifth movie is “a lot about Jessie,” the cowgirl ragdoll voiced by Joan Cusack, who returns along with her cowboy counterpart and Buzz’s bestie, Woody (Tom Hanks).
“Tom and I do — Woody and I — do realign,” Allen said. “And there’s an unbelievable opening scene with Buzz Lightyears. I can give you that, but I can’t give you much more.”
Premiering June 19 in theaters, Toy Story 5 sees Bonnie’s toys—which formerly belonged to Andy—contending with the digital age as Lilypad, an electronic game tablet voice by Greta Lee, gets unboxed. Also joining the voice cast is Conan O’Brien as the toilet training tech toy Smarty Pants.
