**Buzz Lightyear** is the deuteragonist of the original *Toy Story* movie and *Toy Story 3*.

He is a plastic bilingual spaceman action figure with wings, a laser and a helmet, who accompanies Woody on his adventures in these 2 movies.

His often repeated catchphrase is "To infinity and beyond!".

## Appearance

Buzz Lightyear is a brawny electronic spaceman action figure. He has fair skin, blue eyes, a purple head cap and collar, a clear plastic space helmet with purple buttons on both sides that open or close it.

His green torso consists of a light blue sticker that has the words "SPACE RANGER" and the Star Command symbol, purple straps connected to it, three oval talk buttons - one blue, one green, and one red, a yellow nametag that says "LIGHTYEAR" above a red button that pops out purple plastic wings with red and white candy cane lining on the top of each, and green ends with red and green flashing lights. On his back, he has a white jetpack with a purple valve and green triangular accents and two black and yellow stickers - one says, "DANGER", and the other says "JET EXHAUST".

His white arms have gray circular elbows and matching spheres on the end of his upper arms with black rings on it. His gloves have purple lines on his knuckles and fingertips and green squares on the back of each. His right arm has a red button on his upper arm with a yellow and black striped sticker that reads "LASER" and a red light on his right wrist. His left arm has a Space Ranger symbol sticker on his upper arm and a communicator sticker in his wrist communicator and "MADE IN TAIWAN" engraved inside on his lid of the wrist communicator. A black bending with a thin green waist.

His white spaceman pants have matching collars at the bottom and gray spheres behind his knees and holds his white shoes with green toe accents, purple soles and a black handwriting reading "ANDY" on his right shoe sole.

## *Toy Story*

 File:Large toy story blu-ray4.jpg
In the first *Toy Story* film, Buzz starts out as a surprise birthday present for Andy from his mother. He is first seen fully when Woody climbs up on Andy's bed to see Buzz standing tall on top of it. As Buzz comes to life, he believes that he is a real space ranger and scans the place where he has ended up in and tries to contact Star Command, only for no one to answer, but then catches sight of his ripped cardboard packaging, thinking that his "spaceship" has been damaged. As Buzz tries to report his mission log to his wrist communicator, scans the surrounding "terrain" and doubts if the outside air is breathable, Woody suddenly comes into his view, startling Buzz and causing him to activate his laser on Woody. Woody introduces himself to Buzz and tries to tell him that he is standing on Woody's place.

But then, Buzz catches sight of the other toys who have climbed up onto the bed, forcing him to reactivate his laser, but told by Woody that they are harmless creatures, Buzz thanks them for their kind welcome. All the toys, except Woody, are fascinated with the new features of the Buzz Lightyear action figure (buttons that activate his sampled voice, laser and wings). As Buzz shows off his wings, he and Woody have a brief argument over whether or not Buzz can fly, which leads to Buzz demonstrating how he "flies" by jumping off from the bed post, bouncing off a rubber ball, riding down the track on a Hot Wheels car, moving in circles while hanging from the plane suspended from the ceiling until it sideswipes a wall to cause Buzz to be detached from the plane, and finally landing gracefully on the bed. Buzz receives an adoration from the toys, except Woody, who describes that as "falling with style".

As the days pass, Buzz quickly becomes Andy's new favorite toy, although Buzz believes himself to be the real Space Ranger. This leads to tension with Woody because prior to Buzz's arrival, Woody has been Andy's favorite toy since kindergarten. When Woody confronts Buzz the next day, he accidentally triggers Buzz's helmet to open, causing Buzz to suffocate briefly before realizing that the air is breathable, but Buzz snaps at Woody, warning him that he almost has had Buzz's eyeballs sucked from their sockets as he closes his helmet. He suddenly hears something outside, Sid Phillips, Andy's next-door neighbor (who loves to torture toys). When the toys watch Sid preparing to blow up a Combat Carl from the window of Andy's room, Buzz declares he will stop the kid, but is too late because when he has a brief argument with Woody about his laser, Lenny notices Sid lighting a fuse attached to the Combat Carl, prompting the toys to back away as the Combat Carl is blown up, followed by Sid's evil, victorious cheer. Buzz regrets not being able to stop Sid as Woody jokingly states that he will love to see Buzz as a crater.

That evening, when Andy and his family are to go to a family outing at a Pizza Planet restaurant, Woody, wanting to ensure that Andy will pick him instead of Buzz, calls to Buzz that there is trouble (a helpless toy being trapped). Buzz then rushes to "help" the toy, and Woody sends RC to push Buzz into the gap between the table and the wall, but Buzz catches sight of RC racing toward him and jumps out of the way. RC then bumps into a board leaning against the wall, which then falls onto a globe, freeing the sphere, which rolls toward Buzz. While running away from the rolling globe, Buzz trips over some colored pencils, but manages to roll himself out of the globe's way, ending up on a windowsill. The globe then hits a desk lamp, which swings around and hit Buzz, knocking him out of the window. Most of the other toys, especially Mr. Potato Head, indict Woody for attempting to murder Buzz out of jealousy, but Buzz has survived the fall as he emerges out of the bushes to see Woody being taken by Andy into the car.

Seeking revenge on Woody, Buzz jumps onto the car's bumper, and while Andy and his mother stop for gas at a gas station, Buzz drops down through the car's sunroof, confronts Woody, and jumps on him, knocking the two out of the car. As they both roll under the car, they continue fighting until the car drives away, leaving the two stranded. Buzz tries to report his mission log to his wrist communicator again, which results in a more intense argument with Woody, during which Buzz accuses Woody of delaying his "rendezvous with Star Command" and putting the security of the entire universe at stake. After Woody shouts in exasperation that Buzz is a toy and not a real space ranger, he sees Woody is no help to him, but is convinced by Woody (who has caught sight of a Pizza Planet delivery truck) to come back upon hearing that Woody has found a "spaceship". The two then hitch a ride to Pizza Planet, but as they enter the restaurant, Buzz, still thinking that he is a real space ranger catches sight of a rocket-shaped game, thinking it is a spaceship promised by Woody that will take him to his "destination." Inside, he meets some Aliens, but Woody catches up with him. Unfortunately, Sid takes control of the claw and fishes Buzz and Woody out. The two are taken to Sid's house and up the stairs to Sid's room, where they encounter the mutant toys, whom Buzz refers to them as cannibals. Buzz tries to contact Star Command to send in reinforcements and claims he has adjusted his laser "from stun to kill," causing Woody to sarcastically declare hope that they will be able to "blink" the mutant toys to death.

The next day, the two are brutally tortured by Sid (evidenced by Buzz having two suction cup darts on his helmet and back), and as they head for the open door out to the hallway (despite Buzz claiming that they don't know what's outside), they are stopped by the mutant toys, prompting Buzz to activate his laser, but nothing happens. As Buzz ponders what is wrong with his laser, Woody suddenly grabs Buzz as a hostage and pushes a large button on Buzz's back, making Buzz's arm chop up and down repeatedly to fend off the mutant toys and make their way out the door, despite Buzz telling him to stop. As Woody tries to retreat up the stairs after being stopped by Sid's vicious dog Scud sleeping at the bottom of the stairs, Buzz grabs him, covering Woody's mouth, and warns Woody that another stunt like what Woody has done may lead to their deaths. As they walk across the hallway, they accidentally wake up Scud. Buzz darts into a dark room while Woody hides in a closet, and Scud follows the former, but backs away when he catches sight of Mr. Phillips sleeping on a La-Z-Boy.

Soon, Buzz hears a voice calling for him. Thinking he can finally rendezvous with Star Command, Buzz opens his wrist communicator, but he realizes that the voice is actually coming from a TV, in which a commercial advertising Buzz Lightyear toys available at Al's Toy Barn is playing. From that commercial (as well as a "MADE IN TAIWAN" message inscribed on the lid of his wrist communicator), Buzz has discovered, for the first time, he is a toy, much to his dismay. Dejected, he walks out of the room and down the corridors, then catches sight of a window above the stairs. Despite Woody's voice echoing in his mind "You are a toy! You can't fly!", he nevertheless tries his last attempt at proving he is a Space Ranger by opening his wings and jumping from the top of the stairs, aiming toward the window, only to fall to the bottom of the stairs and dislodge his left arm in the process, finally realizing that Woody was telling the truth after all. There, he is found by Sid's little sister, Hannah, who decides to borrow Buzz for a tea party, nicknaming him as "**Mrs. Nesbit**." Woody then enters Hannah's room to coax Buzz out of the room. When Buzz sarcastically shows him off as "Mrs. Nesbit," Woody tries to make Buzz come to his senses by opening Buzz's helmet, slapping Buzz's head with his severed arm, and politely closing his helmet. As Buzz moans over not being able to fly out of the window, Woody, seeing the window to Andy's room through the window out of Sid's room, pulls Buzz into Sid's room.

However, due to Buzz being depressed that he is a toy, he refuses to help Woody in his escape plan, only throwing his severed arm on a desk, right next to Woody (and forcing Woody to fake Buzz being there, but making Andy's toys believe that he has severed Buzz's arm, thus ruining any chance of being rescued). Just then, the mutant toys surround Buzz, prompting Woody to fight them off, but the toys have reattached Buzz's severed arm back in place, stunning Woody. Soon, Sid bursts back into a room with a rocket, and while looking for Woody, he steps on Buzz's laser and tapes the rocket onto Buzz's back, stating how he has always desired to "blow a spaceman into orbit," but is forced to delay his launch due to a sudden rainstorm. Overnight, Woody, who has become trapped in a milk crate due to a toolbox rested on top of the crate, calls for Buzz to free him, and when Buzz doesn't answer, he throws a washer that strikes Buzz's helmet to get his attention. However, Buzz, who has claimed to have started to think clearly for the first time, is *still* too depressed to help Woody, as he admits that Woody has been right all along: Buzz is not a Space Ranger, but just a "stupid, insignificant toy."

In the film's turning point, Woody explains to Buzz what being a toy is and why that is better than being a Space Ranger, even going far as describing the features that Buzz has (having wings, glow-in-the-dark, buttons that make him talk, helmet doing the "whoosh" thing), all of which makes Buzz a "cool toy." As Woody, too, falls into depression and finally accepts that he will have no chance of standing up to a Buzz Lightyear action figure, Buzz thinks for a moment, looking at Andy's name written on the bottom of his boot that proves his ownership to Andy and considering everything Woody has told him as he finally discovers that being a toy isn't so bad after all, then becomes determined to get himself and Woody back in the hands of their owner. He then starts to push the toolbox off the crate and manages to free Woody, but not before catching sight of a moving truck that has pulled in front of Andy's house. Just then, Sid wakes up and takes Buzz out of the room, prompting Woody to give chase, but Scud has stationed himself in the way, preparing to attack any toy that emerges out of Sid's room. To save Buzz, Woody has to call for the mutant toys, who help Woody with his plan to escape safely to Sid's backyard, where they move into their final positions. Woody successfully scares Sid away, warning him never to torture toys again while saving Buzz from being blown up by Sid.

As Woody commends the mutant toys, Buzz calls to Woody to thank him for the rescue. The two toys then shake hands, putting their past rivalry and tensions behind, and their friendship is born. Just then, the two hear the sound of Andy's car starting next door, and they rush to catch the car, but Woody has to go back briefly to free Buzz, whose rocket has made him stuck to a fence, causing them both to miss the car. After the moving truck passes over the two, they make a dash for the truck, unaware that Scud has caught sight of them. Buzz has made it onto the truck's bumper, but as Woody begins his climb up to the bumper, Scud catches up with them and tries to pull Woody off the truck, prompting Buzz to leap onto Scud to fight the dog off. Not wanting Buzz to be left behind, Woody opens the truck's back door for a box of Andy's toys and dig into the box to find RC, whom he tosses onto the street and sends to pick up Buzz. While Buzz rides RC with Scud chasing after him, the other toys, believing Woody is attempting to murder RC, ambush him, causing RC to move around in circles and jump. Buzz finally loses Scud after RC cruises into an intersection in which cross traffic is moving and Scud runs into the intersection, causing cars to swerve and form a circle that entraps Scud. Buzz heaves a sigh of relief after losing Scud.

 File:Buzz-lightyear-woody-rc-toy-story.jpg  After Woody is tossed out of the truck, he joins Buzz as they ride RC, then they try to catch up with the moving truck. The other toys see Woody and Buzz riding on RC and feel guilty for what they have done to Woody. As RC gains closer to the truck, Slinky tries to help them back into the truck, but becomes overstretched due to RC's batteries depleting. After losing grip of Slinky and RC comes to a dead stop, Buzz then realizes the rocket taped behind his back, but in order to light the rocket, Woody has to use Buzz's helmet to focus the sunlight onto the rocket fuse. When he succeeds, Buzz holds onto Woody, who holds onto RC, as they rocket toward the moving truck. Woody manages to toss RC back into the truck (and accidentally impacted straight at Potato Head), just as he and Buzz go skyrocketing into the air. Buzz then frees himself from the rocket by opening his wings, and he and Woody plummet to the ground, but a sudden updraft causes the two to glide gracefully in the air, with Buzz describing it as "falling with style", echoing what Woody has said earlier. The two toys pass over the moving truck and reach Andy's car, where they drop down through the car's sunroof and land in an open box next to Andy, finally making him happy once again, now that he has finally found his favorite toys.

On Christmas Day at Andy's new house, Buzz (now with his helmet permanently open for the first time) is seen sitting on the bed, listening to Sarge's voice through the baby monitor. Woody joins Buzz as they sit on the bed together, and Woody asks Buzz if he isn't worried about being replaced and what present for Andy may be worse than him. When the toys hear that Andy has received a puppy, Woody and Buzz look at each other with a surprised, dreaded smile on both their faces.

## *Toy Story 3*

In *Toy Story 3*, Buzz is first seen in the film's opening sequence that takes place in Andy's real-world imagination, when he lifts up a train that has fallen into a ravine due to a railroad bridge that is destroyed by One-Eyed Bart (Mr. Potato Head's character), saving the lives of Woody and the orphans. He then flies off to catch the criminals and fires his laser to slice the corvette, in which Bart and his goons are riding, in half. As Woody and Jessie are about to arrest the criminals, Buzz catches sight of a spaceship, and realizes that it is Evil Dr. Porkchop (Hamm's character). When Dr. Porkchop executes "Death by Monkeys", thousands of monkeys swarm over Buzz, Woody, and Jessie, holding them hostage as Bart prepares to blast the three heroes into oblivion. Back in Andy's room, Andy himself brings the scenario to a close by using his fingers to trace Buzz's laser reflecting off Woody's badge to "destroy" the "spaceship" and allowing Woody to arrest Bart and his goons. Years later, when a 17-year-old Andy prepares to depart for college, Buzz and Woody set up another staff meeting. When Andy's mother asks him what he is going to do with his toys, Andy opens his toy box and puts many of his toys in a trash bag.

When Andy pulls out Woody and Buzz, he begins to ponder what he should do about them, and he puts Buzz in the bag and Woody in a box bound for college. However, Andy's mother mistakes the bag full of toys as trash and carries the bag outside to be picked up by an approaching garbage truck, prompting Woody to rush over to rescue his friends. The toys manage to escape the bag as Woody spots them running into the garage hidden under a bin. Woody tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but Buzz and the others, believing that Andy does not want them anymore, declare that they will go to Sunnyside Daycare. There, Buzz meets Lotso and the other Sunnyside toys as Lotso gives him a big hug, shows the toys around Sunnyside, and assigns them to the Caterpillar Room. Buzz wants to start a new life at Sunnyside with the rest of the toys, much to Woody's chagrin. When Woody decides to go back, Buzz reaches his hand out for a handshake to say goodbye, but Woody ignores Buzz and walks away.

On the first day, however, just before the Caterpillar Room toddlers enter and they expect playtime, Buzz notices several of the toys trying to hide just as they are about to enter, giving away an early clue to the Caterpillar Room's true nature. During a rough and savage playtime with the toddlers, a boy snatches Buzz away from another boy who wants to play with him, a girl licks on his helmet, and another girl uses him as a hammer. Landing on the ledge next to the window, Buzz then notices the kindergarten children in the Butterfly Room playing with Lotso and his toy gang respectfully, making him wonder why it is peaceful in the Butterfly Room and a nightmare in the Caterpillar Room.

That evening, Buzz regrets having moved into the Caterpillar Room and wants him and the other toys to be moved with Lotso, so he sneaks out of the room, with help from the other toys, to find him. Following a few of Lotso's henchmen, he sneaks into the vending machine and climbs to the very top, only to overhear what the Sunnyside toys are planning to do with Buzz and his friends. However, just as Buzz is about to leave the vending machine, he bumps into Big Baby, who has just entered and throws Buzz onto the table, and Lotso's henchmen capture him and bring him to Lotso.

After listening to Buzz's request, Lotso offers the transfer only to him, believing that the kids in the Caterpillar Room need some toys to play with. This makes Buzz refuse Lotso's offer, believing he and his friend stay together as a family, but then Lotso orders his gang to have Buzz restrained and open his back compartment for the gang to access a "Play-Demo" switch and a reset hole, which leads to his two different personalities later on.

### Bad Buzz

*Not to be confused with Evil Buzz Lightyear*.

After being reset into his "Demo" mode, Buzz thinks he is a real Space Ranger again and loses all the memory of his friends. Lotso then takes this chance to manipulate Buzz to be his henchmen by making him think Andy's toys to be minions of Emperor Zurg, and Buzz captures Andy's toys and imprisons them in wire cubbies functioning as prison cells in the Caterpillar Room. He then sets up the standards and rules for the toy prisoners and orders them to follow them, warning them that anyone who acts otherwise will spend the night in a sandbox, where Mr. Potato Head, for his "misbehavior," is thrown into by Big Baby.

The next day, Buzz catches Hamm playing harmonica inside his cell and orders him to keep quiet. Lotso and his gang enter the room to wake up the prisoners and pick up Buzz to take him back to "Star Command". When Woody returns to Sunnyside, he formulates a plan to help the toys escape. After learning from the toys that Buzz has become a real space ranger again, Woody decides to restore Buzz back to his normal self.

That night, Buzz and Ken walk along the cells, taking name calls, and when Mr. Potato Head doesn't respond when called, Buzz shakes his cell, only to find a real potato inside. Spotting Mr. Potato Head on a windowsill, Buzz and Ken, along with Big Baby, rush over to corner him. Mr. Potato Head kicks Ken, prompting Ken to order Big Baby to take him back to the sanbox. As Buzz continues patrolling the room, he catches Rex and Hamm fighting, prompting him to intervene. As Buzz tries to break up the fight (as hitting people is his job), Jessie and Bullseye emerge from their cells and slam a plastic storage bin over Buzz. Rex and Hamm stand on the bin, trapping Buzz, who tries to break free by ramming the bin and using his laser, but to no avail. Banging on the top of the bin, he tries to call for help because of a prison riot. Rex and Hamm tell Buzz that they can't hear him, but when they turn to see Woody, Slinky, and Barbie return to the room, Buzz takes this advantage to execute an acrobatic move to kick the bin off. Buzz then attempts to escape, but Rex and Hamm tackle him down from the side.

As Buzz struggles to wrench himself free and demands his prisoners to unhand him, Barbie unscrews his back compartment for Woody to access the "Play-Demo" switch. When flicking the switch doesn't work, Hamm reads a Buzz Lightyear instruction manual (which is retrieved from the Bookworm by Barbie under the disguise of "Spacesuit Ken") on the steps on how to reset Buzz. Thinking fast, Woody then orders Rex to insert his finger into the reset hole below the switch and hold it long enough to cause Buzz to shut down.

### Spanish Buzz

 File:Spanishbuzzlightyear.png  Just as Rex feels ashamed for what he has done to Buzz, Buzz suddenly springs back to life, still thinking he is a real space ranger, but starts speaking in a different language—Spanish—much to the shock of the other toys. Told by Woody that the toys are "amigos" to Buzz, Buzz faithfully rejoins their side. As the toys catch up with the others, Buzz is charmed by Jessie's beauty, calling her his beautiful "desert flower." Jessie is at first uncertain about Buzz's attitude, but then Buzz starts performing a salsa dance to gain the affections of Jessie, who finally starts to like Buzz.

As Buzz offers a dandelion for Jessie, Woody catches up with the toys, and Jessie runs to Woody and hugs him, making Buzz jealous as he throws down the dandelion in envy. After the toys reach a trash chute (the only way out of Sunnyside as the Chatter Telephone has told Woody about earlier), Woody calls to Buzz for help, but Buzz, whose concern is to impress Jessie even more, performs an acrobatic stunt by leaping toward a broom, swinging around it, then jumping to the handle of the chute, hooking his feet on the handle, and pulling it down. Woody, Jessie, Buzz, and the other toys go through the chute, but at the end of a chute is an open dumpster, and Buzz wonders where his spaceship is.

When the toys get loaded into a garbage truck, they rush toward Buzz because his glow-in-the-dark functionality allows him to be easily spotted. When the garbage truck loads more garbage into the truck, Buzz searches frantically for Jessie. Finding her caught under some trash, Buzz rushes over to free Jessie and carry her to safety, but Mrs. Potato Head suddenly shouts, "Look out!" Buzz then looks up to see a broken TV falling towards him, then he throws Jessie over to the toys as the TV falls on him. Jessie becomes shocked to see her rescuer get flattened by the TV, so she rushes over to try to lift it up.

### Back to Normal

The toys help Jessie lift the TV, and with help from Slinky, they pull a limp and unconscious Buzz out of the TV by his arms. Jessie opens Buzz's helmet and frantically shakes him, then, feeling it was her fault that she let Buzz be crushed to unconsciousness, begins sobbing over his apparent "death." When Buzz comes back to life, he briefly sniffs the outside air, then notices all the toys staring at him and speaks English once again. Jessie is relieved and overjoyed to see that Buzz is alive from death as she kisses Buzz repeatedly on his cheek, thanking him for saving her from being buried alive. Buzz is confused and wondered what went on. As Woody tells Buzz that he has gone "beyond infinity", Buzz is overjoyed to see Woody as he recognizes him, a sign that his memory has been restored (although unaware of his Spanish mode as well as the events of his brainwashing).

After the toys are dumped at the Tri-County Landfill, they are pushed onto a garbage conveyor belt. Seeing that they are heading toward a set of garbage shredders, Buzz orders the toys to grab hold of something metal so that they hang from the magnetic ceiling, safe from the shredders. Just then, Lotso calls for help from under a golf bag, and Woody drops down to free Lotso. Seeing the danger Woody has put himself in, Buzz also drops down to assist Woody, and the two use one of the golf clubs to pry up the bag, letting Lotso crawl out, and they all grab onto the club to be pulled up to the ceiling, narrowly escaping the shredders that pulverize the golf bag.

The toys then realize that they are heading toward an incinerator, and try to run for it, but are unable to outrun the speed of the conveyor belt. Lotso notices an emergency stop button on the top of a ladder, and Buzz and Woody rush over to help Lotso climb up the ladder toward the button, but Lotso turns away, leaving the toys to die in the incinerator. After the toys are dropped into a large bowl toward the flames, Jessie frantically asks Buzz what they are going to do next, and Buzz, coming to realize that he and his friends are deprived of any escape chance, takes Jessie's hand with one arm as they finally admit their feeling for each other inside themselves. The other toys do the same as they realize that they are now facing death, and Buzz reaches his other arm out to take Woody's hand. The toys are rescued at the last moment by a giant claw commandeered by the Aliens.

Once outside, Buzz and Jessie sit up to find themselves still holding hands, and they smile at each other. They tell Woody that they still need to get him home, but when Woody expresses his worry about how the toys will handle their lives in the attic, Buzz and Jessie remind Woody that as Andy's toys, their job is to be there for him. The toys return to Andy's house by hitching a ride in Sid's garbage truck, and Woody washes some grime off Buzz's helmet with a garden hose. After climbing back up to Andy's room, Woody and Buzz shake hands, unable to admit that the two friends are now separating ways after all they have been through. As footsteps approach the room, Buzz bids his best friend farewell and climbs into a box bound for attic along with the other toys.

However, Woody believes that the toys deserve a better place than the attic so while Andy is saying farewell to Molly and Buster (who is now an old dog), he writes a note telling Andy to donate the toys to Bonnie's house. Andy reads the note, decides to donate the toys, and drives over to Bonnie's house, where he gives his toys, including Buzz, to Bonnie Anderson and spends the last playtime with his toys before departing for college. After Andy leaves, Buzz comforts Woody, who is given to Bonnie as well, as they accept that their life with Andy is complete, and Woody introduces Buzz to Bonnie's toys.

During the end credits, Woody reads to the toys a letter from Sunnyside, which Buzz thinks it is written by Barbie, based on the girlish handwriting, only for Jessie to pinpoint Ken's signature at the end, making the trio exchange uncertain looks. It is also shown that Bonnie has made drawing for her toys, including Buzz and others given to her from Andy. Finally, Jessie takes advantage of Buzz's Spanish personality, and the two perform a paso doble to "Hay Un Amigo En Mi", the Spanish version of the song "You've Got a Friend in Me," to amusement of Woody and the others.

## Relationships

### Woody

Buzz and Woody started off as rivals but after Woody saved Buzz's life, the two became good friends and have been ever since.

### Jessie

Buzz instantly fell in love with Jessie at the end of *Toy Story 2*. Their relationship developed more in *Toy Story 3*.

### Rex

Rex was very polite to Buzz when the two first met, and Buzz has continued to be a positive role model and source for his friend to draw from ever since.

### Lots-o-Huggin' Bear

When Buzz first met Lotso, he considered him a friend. However when Buzz asked Lotso to transfer Andy's toys to the butterfly room, Lotso only agreed to let Buzz come, which made Buzz question Lotso's kindness. When Buzz ultimately refused to go without his friends, Lotso had him brainwashed, which Buzz didn't like. Later at the junkyard, despite the fact Lotso made Buzz abandon his friends, he and Woody still saved helped from getting shredded. But when Lotso left Buzz and his friends to be killed at the incinerator, Buzz knew his short-lived friendship with Lotso was over.

### Totoro

Buzz became good friends with Totoro as both are making a spaceship.

## Trivia

* Buzz was used in the Fruit Cowboy game on Novel Games on December 31 2017.
* It is interesting to note that in every *Toy Story* film (excluding the fourth film) there is one delusional Buzz Lightyear toy who believes he is a space ranger.
	+ In the first film, it was the current Buzz Lightyear who believed he was a space ranger until he learned he was just a toy.
	+ In the third film, Lotso kidnapped Buzz and reset him to Demo mode where he lost his memories and reverted to his delusional Buzz state. When his friends attempted to reset him, they found they couldn't reset him by putting him back to normal mode and instead accidentally reset him to delusional Buzz in Spanish mode. He later regained his memories and his current persona when he was hit by a TV set while saving Jessie.
* Buzz is similar to Bolt from the 2008 film of the same name, as both believe to possess their TV shows' super powers, and yet, they do not have them. It is then later that both heroes realize (and admit) it.
* The role of Buzz Lightyear was originally offered to Billy Crystal who turned it down, a move he later admitted regretting. Crystal eventually voiced Mike Wazowski, a character in *Monsters, Inc.*. Also, Bill Murray and Jim Carrey were also considered for the role.
* What attracted Tim Allen to the role of Buzz Lightyear, was before him they offered the role to his biggest influence in his career, Chevy Chase, who turned it down.
* Buzz does a Vulcan salute from the *Star Trek* series when saying "Farewell" to Woody at the gas station, when leaving Andy's house to embark on his mission to rescue Woody, and when saying "Farewell" to the other Buzz who is playing catch with Emperor Zurg.
* File:Nemobuzz.jpg  Buzz makes a cameo in *Finding Nemo*, as a toy that was in the dentist's waiting room.
* The Lightyear Blimp in the movie *Cars* is a reference to Buzz Lightyear, and is also a parody of the Goodyear Blimp.
* Buzz appears during the end credits of *Cars* as a car, arguing with Woody. He is a Space Rover, and Woody is a woody station wagon.
* All Piston Cup racers' tires in *Cars* are branded as "Lightyear," both a reference to Buzz Lightyear and a play on the name Goodyear (an actual tire manufacturer).
* The original script for *Toy Story 3* had Buzz and his entire toy line recalled back to Taiwan (where the Buzz Lightyear toys are made) due to a defect. Apparently, that defect could have explained why Buzz and his toy line believed themselves to be real space rangers. While this plot idea was ultimately scrapped, the final script did still include an explanation as to why the entire toyline had at the very least initial delusional beliefs to being the real Buzz Lightyear (as apparently they are pre-set to Demo Mode when first made).
* In only the North American release of *Toy Story 2*, Buzz gives out his speech with the US flag in the backdrop and the US national anthem, the "Star-Spangled Banner," playing in the background, similar to the way General Patton did in *Patton' (1970).*
* The colors on Buzz are the favorites of John Lasseter (lime green) and his wife, Nancy (purple).
* Buzz's facial features are loosely based after Lasseter.
* Buzz was based on the G.I. Joe toys from the 1960s.
* In one of the *Toy Story* films, Buzz flies over the river from *A Bug's Life*.
* Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase "To infinity and beyond!" was also said by Flik in one of the outtakes of *A Bug's Life*, as well as Tim Allen's character, as a dog, in another Disney film *The Shaggy Dog* (2006).
* Buzz is 11.43 inches tall, and his helmet adds 0.37 inches.
* Buzz has 215 animation avatars in his face.
* The quality of Buzz's voice box deteriorated within the ten years between *Toy Story 2* and *Toy Story 3*, and is now on par with Woody's sound quality (and the original Thinkway Buzz Lightyear action figure).
* Buzz and Jessie's dance moves during the end credits of *Toy Story 3* were choreographed by Tony Dovolani and Cheryl Burke of *Dancing with the Stars*.
* In *Toy Story*, you can see copyright Disney on Buzz's butt, but in *Toy Story 2* and *3*, it says Disney/Pixar.
* File:Buzz's close up pixar label.jpg  Buzz has labels on his rear end. In *Toy Story*, he had a label that said "Disney," which was shown when he attempted to fly out of the window at Sid's house, and in *Toy Story 3*,he had a Disney/Pixar label that was shown just before he was picked up by a child at Sunnyside.
* When *Toy Story* was being made, Buzz wasn't going to be in the main plot. Tinny was going to be in his place. But John Lasseter decided a tin toy wouldn't be a good toy for a boy, so Tinny was scrapped and Lasseter decided to put in a military/space character that a boy would want so badly. When names came around, the original two were Lunar Larry and Tempis from Morph.
* When Buzz closes his helmet on Ducky's foot, it's a reference to the move Buzz pulled on Woody in the first Toy Story when they were fighting under the van.

> **Woody**Hello!" (Buzz gasps and fires his "laser beam" at him) "Ah! Whoa! H-Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Did I frighten you? Didn't mean to. Sorry. Howdy! My name is Woody. And this is Andy's room. That's all I wanted to say. And also, there has been a bit of a mix-up. This is my spot, see, the bed here.**Buzz**Local law enforcement! It's about time you got here. I'm Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger, Universe Protection Unit. My ship has crash-landed here by mistake.**Woody**Yes, it is a mistake because, you see, the bed here is my spot.**Buzz**I need to repair my turbo boosters. Do you people still use fossil fuel, or have you discovered crystallite fusion?**Woody**Well, let's see. We got double-A's.**Buzz**Watch yourself!

> **Buzz**Halt! Who goes there?**Rex**Don't shoot! It's okay! Friends!**Buzz**Do you know these life-forms?**Woody**Yes! They're Andy's toys.**Buzz**All right, everyone, you're clear to come up. I am Buzz Lightyear. I come in peace.**Rex**Oh, I'm so glad you're not a dinosaur!**Buzz**Bye-bye. Thank you! Now, thank you all for your kind welcome!

> **Hamm**So, uh, where you from? Singapore? Hong Kong?**Buzz**Well, no. Actually, I-I'm stationed up in the Gamma Quadrant of Sector Four. As a member of the elite Universe Protection Unit of the Space Ranger Corps, I protect the galaxy from the threat of invasion from the evil Emperor Zurg, sworn enemy of the Galactic Alliance.

> **Woody**You'd think they'd never seen a new toy before.**Bo Peep**Well, sure. Look at him. He's got more gadgets on him then a Swiss Army knife.

It's a... It's a little light bulb that blinks!**Hamm**What's with him?**Mr. Potato Head**Laser envy.

> **Woody**All right, that's enough! Look, we're all very impressed with Andy's new toy.**Buzz**Toy?**Woody**T-O-Y. Toy!**Buzz**Excuse me, I-I think the word you're searching for is 'Space Ranger.'**Woody**The word I'm searching for I can't say because there's preschool toys present.

> **Rex**Oh, uh, Mr. Lightyear, uh, now, I'm curious. What does a Space Ranger actually do?**Woody**He's not a Space Ranger! He doesn't fight evil or, or shoot lasers or fly!**Buzz**Excuse me.(Buzz opens his wings)
> **Hamm**Oh, impressive wingspan! Very good!

> **Woody**These are plastic. He can't fly!**Buzz**They are a terillium-carbonic alloy, and I *can* fly.**Woody**No, you can't.**Buzz**Yes, I can.**Woody**You can't!**Buzz**Can!**Woody**Can't! Can't! Can't!**Buzz**I tell you, I could fly around this room with my eyes closed!**Woody**Okay, then, Mr. Light Beer, prove it.**Buzz**All right, then, I will. Stand back, everyone!*" (He climbs up the bedpost) "*To infinity and beyond!

> (Buzz has landed back on Andy's bed after his "flight")
> **Buzz**Can!(The toys applaud)
> **Rex**Whoa! Oh, wow, you flew magnificently!**Bo Peep**I found my movin' buddy!**Buzz**Thank you. Th-Thank you all. Thank you.**Woody**That wasn't flying! That was... falling with style!**Mr. Potato Head**Man, the dolls must really go for you! Can you teach me that?

> **Woody**Listen, Light Snack, you stay away from Andy. He's mine, and no one is taking him away from me.**Buzz**What are you talking about?*" (to Robot) "*Where's that bonding strip?**Woody**And another thing: Stop with this spaceman thing! It's getting on my nerves!**Buzz**Are you saying you wanna lodge a complaint with Star Command?**Woody**Oh-ho, okay! Ooh, well, so you wanna do it the hard way, huh?**Buzz**Don't even think about it, cowboy!**Woody**Oh, yeah, tough guy?(pushes Buzz in the chest, accidentally opening Buzz's helmet; Buzz gasps for air, but then notices he can breathe)
> **Buzz**The air isn't... toxic.*" (snaps at Woody) "*How dare you open a spaceman's helmet on a uncharted planet! My eyeballs could've been sucked from their sockets!(Buzz closes his helmet)
> **Woody**You actually think you're *the* Buzz Lightyear? Oh, all this time I thought it was an act! Hey, guys, look! It's the real Buzz Lightyear!

> **Buzz**You're mocking me, aren't you?**Woody**Oh, no, no, no. No-no-no-no... **Buzz, look, an alien!****Buzz**Where?**Woody**Baaaahhh-haa-ha-ha-ha!

Template:D

> **Woody**Buzz! Oh, Buzz! Buzz Lightyear! Buzz Lightyear, thank goodness! We've got trouble!**Buzz**Trouble? Where?**Woody**Down there. Just down there. A helpless toyl it's...it's trapped, Buzz!**Buzz**Then we've no time to lose!*" (runs over to look) "*I don't see anything!**Woody**Oh, he's there! Just, just keep looking!(Woody sends RC in the direction of Buzz)
> **Buzz**What kind of toy...?

> **Woody**Buzz! Buzz! Ha! You're alive! This is great! Oh, I'm saved! I'm saved! Andy'll find you here; he'll take us back to the room; and then you can tell everyone that this was all just a big mistake. Huh? Right? Buddy?**Buzz**I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate me, revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.**Woody**Oh. Oh, that's good.**Buzz**But we're not on my planet, ARE we?**Woody**No.

> **Woody**Ahhh! This is the part where we blow up!**Buzz**Not today!

> **Woody**Hey, Buzz! You're flying!**Buzz**This isn't flying. This is falling, with style!**Woody**Ha ha! To infinity and beyond!*" (they pass over the moving truck) "*Uh, Buzz? We missed the truck!**Buzz**We're not aiming for the truck!

> **Woody**Buzz, Buzz Lightyear, you are not worried, are you?**Buzz**Me? No, no-no. Are you?**Woody**Now, Buzz, what could Andy possibly get that is worse than you?
