Disney/Toy Story

Buzz Lightyear is a fictional character from Disney/Pixar's Toy Story franchise. He is a space ranger action figure, initially believing himself to be a real space ranger on a mission. He hails from the Star Command universe and embodies classic science fiction hero tropes.

Buzz is characterized by his unwavering dedication to Star Command principles, his advanced (toy) features like laser buttons and pop-out wings, and his catchphrase, "To infinity... and beyond!" His initial inability to recognize he's a toy is a major plot point in the first film, leading to both comedic moments and an identity crisis.

Throughout the series, Buzz develops from a somewhat naive and rigid character into a more nuanced and understanding friend. He learns to embrace his identity as a toy and values the bonds of friendship with Woody and the other toys. He is voiced by Tim Allen.
