Buzz Lightyear Actor Tim Allen Shares His Own Idea For an Emotional TOY STORY 5 Storyline

At the beginning of this year, Disney announced that they are making a Toy Story 5, along with a Zootopia 2, and a Frozen 3. Some fans weren’t happy about the news of another film in the Toy Story franchise, as they felt the storyline had wrapped. This is just like when Toy Story 4 was announced, as viewers had believed that the films were a trilogy, and fans were happy with how the third film ended. But the fourth movie ended up being really good, so I trust this next movie will be great as well.

We don’t know what story the next film will tell, but Buzz Lightyear voice actor Tim Allen has his own idea, and he explained that it all came together while talking with a barista. Explaining this potential pitch to The Movie Dweeb, the actor said:

“This is really off the cuff. It made me very emotional yesterday, because this guy -- I went to get coffee at a very small little coffee bar where he grinds his own coffee -- asked me the same question, just yesterday. I said that I don't know if this is where the story is going, but what if the whole story was [about] Andy as an adult, he has children, and they just happen to be online and the kids goes 'have you ever seen this toy?' Andy sees that Buzz has got a hand missing, and they're selling these vintage toys. And Andy goes and gathers all the toys up. He has to go out, find each one of them, and put them back together, [and] bring them back to his house. It starts the whole thing over again with his son. And I said 'What a wonderful idea.' He brings it, it's all through Andy's eyes. We made his life, and now he's returning that favor.”

This sounds like a plausible way to go. It would be cool to see Andy all grown up and enjoying the toys of his childhood with his own kids. No matter what happens, I have faith that Disney will do right by their fans and the history of the franchise.
