00:00:01,673 --> 00:00:03,758
This is Toy Story, Disney Studios,
2
00:00:03,883 --> 00:00:07,178
February 4th, 1995.
Recording Tim Allen as Buzz.
3
00:00:07,262 --> 00:00:10,140
So, this is that beginning section
where you must have written.
4
00:00:10,223 --> 00:00:11,266
Do you read me?
5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,228
Buzz Lightyear to Star Command.
Come in, Star Command.
6
00:00:16,646 --> 00:00:18,606
Star Command, come in.
Do you read me?
7
00:00:19,024 --> 00:00:20,525
Why don't they answer?
8
00:00:21,026 --> 00:00:23,445
ANGUS MACLANE: When we were making
Toy Story, the first one,
9
00:00:23,528 --> 00:00:27,907
it was just director John Lasseter
and a very small group of us
10
00:00:27,991 --> 00:00:30,827
coming up with
the characters and situations.
11
00:00:30,910 --> 00:00:33,913
And, of course, the toy version of Buzz.
12
00:00:33,997 --> 00:00:35,915
And now we're about to release a film
13
00:00:36,041 --> 00:00:38,835
about the origin story
of this Buzz Lightyear character.
14
00:00:40,587 --> 00:00:42,380
We get to grapple with this question,
15
00:00:45,633 --> 00:00:47,469
"Who is Buzz Lightyear?"
16
00:00:56,978 --> 00:00:59,898
I'm Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger,
Universe Protection Unit.
17
00:00:59,981 --> 00:01:04,569
His job in the first films is to show up
and basically push Woody's buttons.
18
00:01:07,072 --> 00:01:09,407
He's the best of the best,
and he knows it.
19
00:01:11,284 --> 00:01:13,495
He understands everything
in all the manuals,
20
00:01:13,578 --> 00:01:14,913
he's studied the hardest.
21
00:01:14,996 --> 00:01:16,081
Woody, are you all right?
22
00:01:16,164 --> 00:01:19,000
He's the strongest, he's the fastest,
he's the estest.
23
00:01:19,501 --> 00:01:21,127
(TOYS GASP)
24
00:01:21,211 --> 00:01:25,048
Buzz is the most upright citizen...
25
00:01:25,131 --> 00:01:27,842
We will not rest
until he's safe in Andy's room!
26
00:01:27,926 --> 00:01:32,806
And takes his policing job
very, very, very seriously.
27
00:01:33,098 --> 00:01:34,724
Watch yourself!
Halt! Who goes there?
28
00:01:34,808 --> 00:01:36,976
He's the straight guy,
he's the very literal guy.
29
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:40,855
Everything that's on the box
is the sum total of his knowledge.
30
00:01:41,106 --> 00:01:43,608
BUZZ: I protect the galaxy
from the threat of invasion.
31
00:01:43,691 --> 00:01:45,401
He doesn't understand that he's the toy
32
00:01:45,485 --> 00:01:48,655
based off of this character
on the big screen,
33
00:01:50,115 --> 00:01:51,574
He thinks he is that character.
34
00:01:51,658 --> 00:01:53,910
Very impressed
with Andy's new toy.
35
00:01:53,993 --> 00:01:56,454
- Toy?
- T-O-Y. Toy.
36
00:01:56,538 --> 00:02:00,542
Excuse me, I think the word
you're searching for is "Space Ranger."
37
00:02:00,625 --> 00:02:04,087
And the comedy all comes from that
disagreement over the nature of reality.
38
00:02:04,170 --> 00:02:05,880
(GASPING)
39
00:02:08,383 --> 00:02:09,759
(GAGGING)
40
00:02:10,218 --> 00:02:13,179
It was Woody's movie,
but you need one for the other to work.
41
00:02:14,764 --> 00:02:15,932
It's a dance.
42
00:02:17,892 --> 00:02:20,228
Good morning, I'm Pete.
43
00:02:20,311 --> 00:02:23,439
Today we'll learn how to animate
in less than two minutes.
44
00:02:23,523 --> 00:02:26,734
We type in the magic UNIX commands.
45
00:02:26,818 --> 00:02:29,737
In 1990, Pixar had done
a bunch of short films.
46
00:02:31,781 --> 00:02:34,993
I knew that the goal was
to eventually do a feature,
47
00:02:35,076 --> 00:02:36,578
and the thought was,
48
00:02:36,661 --> 00:02:39,122
"Let's do an intermediate step,
we'll do a Christmas special."
49
00:02:40,081 --> 00:02:43,459
Using characters
from one of the short films, Tin Toy.
50
00:02:47,839 --> 00:02:50,300
That just seemed like
a very appealing, fun world,
51
00:02:50,383 --> 00:02:54,179
the world of toys. Seeing things from
the toys' point of view, way down low.
52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,809
The thrill was this must be
what it feels like to be this small
53
00:02:59,893 --> 00:03:03,188
on the floor and encounter
a giant reckless baby.
54
00:03:06,357 --> 00:03:09,194
At the same time, Disney said,
"Hey, you know what?
55
00:03:09,694 --> 00:03:12,030
"We'd be willing to spring for a feature.
56
00:03:12,113 --> 00:03:15,033
"What do you want to do?"
And we were like, "I have no idea."
57
00:03:15,116 --> 00:03:18,036
So we thought, what if
we just use the Christmas special
58
00:03:18,119 --> 00:03:20,163
that we are writing as the first act
59
00:03:20,246 --> 00:03:22,540
and then we'll just go from there,
60
00:03:22,624 --> 00:03:24,709
because we had no idea
what we were doing.
61
00:03:25,168 --> 00:03:26,461
In animation at that time,
62
00:03:26,544 --> 00:03:28,755
it was musical, musical... Only musicals.
63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,467
So the idea that we could do
some other kind of storytelling
64
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:34,010
was really attractive.
65
00:03:36,095 --> 00:03:39,098
One of the first things that happened,
in our story, was that
66
00:03:39,182 --> 00:03:43,519
Tinny met this other ventriloquist doll,
the old established toy.
67
00:03:43,603 --> 00:03:45,355
And this new toy comes
68
00:03:45,438 --> 00:03:50,235
and is now threatening
this old toy's place in Andy's room.
69
00:03:50,318 --> 00:03:53,488
This new cool, amazing tin toy?
70
00:03:54,322 --> 00:03:56,491
So we're like,
"Okay, that doesn't quite work."
71
00:03:56,574 --> 00:03:58,534
What was the toy we all wanted as kids?
72
00:03:58,618 --> 00:04:00,578
We wanted action figures, you know,
73
00:04:00,662 --> 00:04:03,539
with, like karate chop action
or exploding briefcases,
74
00:04:03,623 --> 00:04:05,667
all kind of like, these moving parts.
75
00:04:06,334 --> 00:04:07,961
Tinny had to go up on the shelf,
76
00:04:08,044 --> 00:04:11,756
and his part was taken over by this
brand new character that we were creating,
77
00:04:11,839 --> 00:04:13,174
named Buzz Lightyear.
78
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:19,639
Initially, Buzz was more of
a golden age space hero from the '30s.
79
00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:27,772
I did all these things that almost looked
like water heaters with fins on them.
80
00:04:28,356 --> 00:04:30,942
Things that were based
on Roman legionnaire helmets
81
00:04:31,067 --> 00:04:32,777
and all that older, classic stuff.
82
00:04:41,369 --> 00:04:43,496
LAUREN GAYLORD: We have
so many drawings of Buzz
83
00:04:43,579 --> 00:04:45,623
that sometimes it's hard to differentiate.
84
00:04:47,458 --> 00:04:50,128
This is one that we have
nicknamed Big Hair Buzz.
85
00:04:50,211 --> 00:04:53,589
It's a distinguishing part of this
stage of character design,
86
00:04:53,673 --> 00:04:55,800
because in the end
Buzz has no hair.
87
00:04:55,883 --> 00:04:58,761
DOCTER: Buzz Lightyear wasn't always
called Buzz Lightyear.
88
00:04:58,845 --> 00:05:00,263
He was even called Lunar Larry.
89
00:05:00,346 --> 00:05:03,016
One of the suits has, like, the LL on it.
90
00:05:04,726 --> 00:05:07,895
This is from an early animation test.
91
00:05:07,979 --> 00:05:12,275
Woody is Slim, and the character
that would become Buzz is Tecor,
92
00:05:12,358 --> 00:05:16,404
But it looks like they weren't
necessarily satisfied with that
93
00:05:16,487 --> 00:05:21,159
because on this particular script, they've
made all these other acronyms for him.
94
00:05:21,284 --> 00:05:24,704
He could have been TOLAR or MICROZ.
95
00:05:25,038 --> 00:05:27,957
JEFF PIDGEON: And then one of them
was Tempus from Morph.
96
00:05:28,041 --> 00:05:32,795
I don't know if we use that
for more than that one test.
97
00:05:36,758 --> 00:05:38,051
Hey, pal, whatcha doin'?
98
00:05:38,176 --> 00:05:40,053
I'm Tempus from Morph...
99
00:05:40,136 --> 00:05:41,804
Yeah, what's this button?
100
00:05:41,888 --> 00:05:44,265
Say, you weren't
thinkin' of flyin', were ya'?
101
00:05:44,349 --> 00:05:47,143
- Well...
- You know, Andy loves toys that can fly.
102
00:05:47,226 --> 00:05:48,394
BUZZ: Really?
103
00:05:48,478 --> 00:05:50,188
When we look
at the final drawings,
104
00:05:50,271 --> 00:05:53,941
we think that was
the right Buzz to choose.
105
00:05:54,025 --> 00:05:55,651
But how did we get there?
106
00:05:57,153 --> 00:06:00,281
So fun to just see all the iterations.
107
00:06:05,078 --> 00:06:07,538
Just warming up still. Yes.
108
00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:13,669
When I came on, John Lasseter
wanted to have a contemporary new toy
109
00:06:13,878 --> 00:06:17,590
and asked if we could do
something more like an astronaut.
110
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:23,262
So we looked at NASA.
We looked at the astronauts.
111
00:06:23,346 --> 00:06:25,473
Same time, we're going to the toy stores,
112
00:06:25,556 --> 00:06:29,644
we're taking things apart, figuring out
how they work, how they articulate.
113
00:06:30,144 --> 00:06:33,564
And the wings needed to function
like we're going to make this thing.
114
00:06:33,648 --> 00:06:37,193
So I came up with the way that they would
swing out to the side.
115
00:06:37,276 --> 00:06:40,905
I thought you could make that.
I can see a toy being built with that.
116
00:06:41,572 --> 00:06:44,409
The minute we said
12 inches like G.I. Joe, "Yes".
117
00:06:44,492 --> 00:06:45,993
The minute we said new, "Yes".
118
00:06:46,077 --> 00:06:48,287
Let's give him karate chop action, "Yes".
119
00:06:48,371 --> 00:06:51,290
The minute Bob Pauley said
"What if we make it white
120
00:06:51,374 --> 00:06:53,292
and give it
a little accent with color?"
121
00:06:53,376 --> 00:06:54,377
we are all like, "Yes."
122
00:06:54,502 --> 00:06:58,131
And he should have some declarative thing
that he says.
123
00:06:58,214 --> 00:07:01,008
To infinity and beyond!
124
00:07:03,428 --> 00:07:05,430
That just made everybody laugh.
125
00:07:05,513 --> 00:07:08,182
We loved that it made no sense. (CHUCKLES)
126
00:07:08,641 --> 00:07:12,228
There is no beyond infinity.
Infinity is infinite.
127
00:07:12,311 --> 00:07:14,480
Henceforth there is
no beyond infinity.
128
00:07:14,564 --> 00:07:17,817
Felt like it really captured
the essence of who he was.
129
00:07:19,444 --> 00:07:22,822
LEE UNKRICH: They had a sense of who
Buzz was and who they wanted him to be.
130
00:07:22,905 --> 00:07:27,452
But once the decision was made
to cast Tim Allen as Buzz,
131
00:07:27,535 --> 00:07:29,954
so much of his character
just clicked into place.
132
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:34,584
It was actually Tim Allen's idea to play
Buzz like an average street cop.
133
00:07:35,334 --> 00:07:37,253
They've been watching Sid in the backyard,
134
00:07:37,336 --> 00:07:39,922
the mean kid, blow up
the Combat Carl with the M-80.
135
00:07:40,006 --> 00:07:41,799
- I coulda stopped him.
- Right.
136
00:07:42,383 --> 00:07:43,426
What's going on?
137
00:07:43,509 --> 00:07:47,263
So instead of being this unrealistic,
kind of,
138
00:07:47,346 --> 00:07:50,641
"I'll save you, eager young space cadet,"
kind of guy,
139
00:07:50,725 --> 00:07:52,393
he's playing it more like, "Yeah,
140
00:07:52,477 --> 00:07:55,104
"I'm going to be hanging out
around the corner."
141
00:07:55,188 --> 00:07:57,482
There's a kid over in that house
who needs us.
142
00:07:57,565 --> 00:07:59,192
Now let's get you out of this thing.
143
00:07:59,275 --> 00:08:00,693
DOCTER: He's a bit more realistic.
144
00:08:00,776 --> 00:08:02,570
He's a little more earthbound.
145
00:08:02,653 --> 00:08:05,114
No, no, no. Go, go.
Just go. I'll catch up.
146
00:08:05,198 --> 00:08:08,326
And it really shaped the way
we wrote the character,
147
00:08:08,409 --> 00:08:11,287
the way we thought of him,
in major ways.
148
00:08:11,370 --> 00:08:12,413
Sheriff!
149
00:08:13,206 --> 00:08:14,248
Sheriff?
150
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:15,625
There you are.
151
00:08:18,669 --> 00:08:22,381
PAULEY: When we were designing Buzz,
I thought we had something.
152
00:08:22,507 --> 00:08:24,050
You know, it was cool.
153
00:08:24,133 --> 00:08:28,804
But we didn't have a clue that this was
going to become some kind of phenomenon,
154
00:08:30,264 --> 00:08:32,600
that Woody and Buzz
would be household names.
155
00:08:33,893 --> 00:08:36,604
To infinity and beyond.
156
00:08:50,743 --> 00:08:54,205
(SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGES)
157
00:08:56,958 --> 00:08:58,167
Space Ranger.
158
00:09:03,548 --> 00:09:05,550
WOODY: Buzz, this is the Oscars.
159
00:09:05,633 --> 00:09:07,426
It's supposed to be formal.
160
00:09:07,510 --> 00:09:09,845
Well, that would explain
all the penguins then
161
00:09:09,929 --> 00:09:12,390
The whole thing was shocking.
162
00:09:12,473 --> 00:09:16,477
I remember when the film came out
and driving down the freeway and be like,
163
00:09:16,561 --> 00:09:18,896
"There's a billboard for Toy Story."
164
00:09:20,356 --> 00:09:24,819
And it was really wild to see Buzz go up
on the International Space Station.
165
00:09:27,029 --> 00:09:29,407
That was wow.
166
00:09:29,490 --> 00:09:31,784
You created this character
who wants to be in space,
167
00:09:31,867 --> 00:09:35,371
and now he's literally gone further
than most of us ever will.
168
00:09:35,454 --> 00:09:37,748
For us to think
we would get to do anything more
169
00:09:40,459 --> 00:09:42,837
would have been just crazy thinking.
170
00:09:43,713 --> 00:09:45,089
Buzz Lightyear mission log.
171
00:09:45,172 --> 00:09:48,634
The local sheriff and I seem to be at
a huge refueling station of some sort.
172
00:09:48,718 --> 00:09:52,888
Buzz was kind of a deluded sidekick,
and somehow he really spoke to kids.
173
00:09:55,516 --> 00:09:57,768
I'm not sure exactly what that means.
174
00:09:59,770 --> 00:10:03,608
We tried to design a toy
that would be really cool for Andy,
175
00:10:03,691 --> 00:10:06,652
that Andy would set aside Woody for.
176
00:10:07,403 --> 00:10:11,449
PAULEY: Turns out that we created a toy
that in the movie was a good character,
177
00:10:11,532 --> 00:10:14,619
but also actually a pretty darn good toy
in reality.
178
00:10:15,578 --> 00:10:17,580
JENNIFER TAN: He is the toy
that all the kids want.
179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,296
There's always an interest in continuing
the exploration of Buzz as a toy.
180
00:10:30,551 --> 00:10:32,720
How else can we have fun with Buzz?
181
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:41,312
He's this superhero that every kid
either wants to be like
182
00:10:41,437 --> 00:10:43,481
or wants to be friends with.
183
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,985
Buzz appeals to adults
and kids of all ages,
184
00:10:48,110 --> 00:10:49,737
of all genders,
185
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:51,906
And that's why you see Buzz everything.
186
00:10:53,616 --> 00:10:57,036
There's Buzz costumes, Buzz sneakers.
187
00:10:57,203 --> 00:11:02,083
We work on action figures,
pencil toppers, apparel...
188
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:03,459
TAN: Buzz backpacks,
189
00:11:04,585 --> 00:11:08,047
lunchboxes, juice boxes, paper towels,
190
00:11:08,756 --> 00:11:10,091
anything you can think of.
191
00:11:11,092 --> 00:11:13,469
Stickers on bananas, socks.
192
00:11:13,552 --> 00:11:15,763
I love my Buzz and Woody socks.
193
00:11:16,472 --> 00:11:18,849
I love how Buzz is everywhere
194
00:11:18,933 --> 00:11:22,228
and people have
made their versions of him.
195
00:11:24,730 --> 00:11:26,190
UNKRICH: A lot of it's handcrafted.
196
00:11:26,273 --> 00:11:28,317
A lot of it's not coming out of factories.
197
00:11:28,401 --> 00:11:33,197
It's just people making cool little
wooden pull toys or puppets.
198
00:11:33,781 --> 00:11:35,741
People just love the characters.
199
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:38,828
PAULEY: I guess, in a way, the design
worked out, and it looks good
200
00:11:38,911 --> 00:11:41,288
because you can be still so far off
201
00:11:41,414 --> 00:11:44,125
and you know
there's a Buzz in there somewhere.
202
00:11:44,208 --> 00:11:46,544
SUSMAN: I have seen some bizarre ones.
203
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:50,673
They look like
Buzz was put in a microwave.
204
00:11:50,756 --> 00:11:54,427
It's not really the real Buzz,
but you can tell it's Buzz Lightyear.
205
00:12:00,558 --> 00:12:02,226
MACLANE: When I started working at Pixar,
206
00:12:03,436 --> 00:12:06,689
I was just blown away
by the Buzz Lightyear character.
207
00:12:07,523 --> 00:12:10,276
His square personality,
I always thought, was hilarious.
208
00:12:11,444 --> 00:12:13,821
DOCTER: Angus became
the go-to Buzz animator.
209
00:12:14,905 --> 00:12:16,907
If I'm having trouble,
I can go to Angus,
210
00:12:16,991 --> 00:12:20,202
not only with technical things,
but with artistic choices.
211
00:12:20,286 --> 00:12:22,204
Like, what kind of expressions
he makes,
212
00:12:22,288 --> 00:12:24,373
- and hand gestures.
- (GASPING)
213
00:12:25,082 --> 00:12:28,502
And I'd always wondered what was the show
214
00:12:28,586 --> 00:12:31,213
or the movie
that Buzz Lightyear came from.
215
00:12:31,297 --> 00:12:35,509
And so that was something that was always
cooking in the back of my head.
216
00:12:36,218 --> 00:12:39,138
Terrain seems a bit unstable.
217
00:12:39,221 --> 00:12:42,433
SUSMAN: Lightyear and Toy Story
are intrinsically connected.
218
00:12:43,184 --> 00:12:49,064
Andy, the kid in Toy Story, is so excited
to get this Buzz Lightyear doll.
219
00:12:49,148 --> 00:12:51,025
Why is he so excited?
220
00:12:51,108 --> 00:12:55,279
Well, we all thought that he was excited
because he probably went to see a movie.
221
00:12:56,197 --> 00:12:58,491
And we're saying that
that movie is Lightyear.
222
00:13:01,452 --> 00:13:03,204
MACLANE: Then it was trying to figure out,
223
00:13:03,287 --> 00:13:06,165
"Well, what kind of story
are we telling with Buzz?"
224
00:13:07,166 --> 00:13:11,962
And the character is more than just
the character in the Toy Story world.
225
00:13:12,046 --> 00:13:13,839
It's a different character.
226
00:13:15,174 --> 00:13:19,178
There's a general way that Buzz moves
through the world, a confidence,
227
00:13:19,261 --> 00:13:20,346
This way!
228
00:13:20,429 --> 00:13:21,514
A belief in himself.
229
00:13:21,597 --> 00:13:23,808
I'm Buzz Lightyear. I'm always sure.
230
00:13:23,891 --> 00:13:26,268
But we have to feel like
he has this inner life.
231
00:13:27,603 --> 00:13:32,149
SUSMAN: Having an iconic character
to start from doesn't solve it for us.
232
00:13:32,233 --> 00:13:34,151
It makes it a little easier,
233
00:13:34,235 --> 00:13:37,279
but there's a whole lot
of discovery we have to do.
234
00:13:37,363 --> 00:13:40,074
And the stakes are even higher
when you're reimagining
235
00:13:40,157 --> 00:13:42,451
such a beloved character
like Buzz Lightyear.
236
00:13:43,369 --> 00:13:46,789
I think the texture is the next thing,
and then lighting. Which...
237
00:13:46,872 --> 00:13:48,874
STANTON: The biggest thing
a director does...
238
00:13:48,958 --> 00:13:51,877
This is nice and elegant,
but it has to be pushed up just a hair.
239
00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:54,129
You're a coach, you're a cheerleader...
240
00:13:54,296 --> 00:13:55,506
It feels pretty great.
241
00:13:55,589 --> 00:13:56,924
I love the gesture of the nose.
242
00:13:57,007 --> 00:14:00,594
You're a vision keeper
and you're a navigator.
243
00:14:02,972 --> 00:14:05,975
There's a lot of times
you're just at the bow of the ship
244
00:14:06,058 --> 00:14:09,353
where there's just a ton of fog,
and you're saying, "There's land there,
245
00:14:09,436 --> 00:14:11,397
"Believe me,
I promise you we'll get there."
246
00:14:12,231 --> 00:14:14,859
I think the action
is actually just the steam.
247
00:14:14,942 --> 00:14:21,782
A lot of great sci-fi hinges
on a real world parable or a deeper truth.
248
00:14:21,866 --> 00:14:24,285
So I was trying to find
what's the deeper truth?
249
00:14:28,497 --> 00:14:31,166
When you're making a movie,
it takes such a long time.
250
00:14:32,501 --> 00:14:35,754
You need to find something you can
latch onto that feels personal.
251
00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:43,012
This campus is
one of the inspirations for the movie.
252
00:14:43,095 --> 00:14:45,598
I have different memories
from different years
253
00:14:45,681 --> 00:14:48,392
that go back 20, almost 22 years now.
254
00:14:49,018 --> 00:14:51,186
That's where I brought my daughter to work
255
00:14:51,270 --> 00:14:54,398
for the very first time
when she was six months old.
256
00:14:54,481 --> 00:14:56,400
We finished the movie there.
257
00:14:57,067 --> 00:14:59,528
That's the last time
I saw that person alive.
258
00:14:59,612 --> 00:15:02,072
Having been at the studio for a long time,
259
00:15:02,156 --> 00:15:05,492
the sense of time passing
was first and foremost in my mind.
260
00:15:07,161 --> 00:15:10,915
When you work on films,
the perceived time passes differently.
261
00:15:12,791 --> 00:15:16,921
You do these four-year jumps,
these five-year jumps,
262
00:15:17,004 --> 00:15:20,007
When you stick your head out of the hole,
you go, "What happened?"
263
00:15:20,090 --> 00:15:22,801
Everyone else is like,
"All kinds of things happened."
264
00:15:25,554 --> 00:15:27,431
The pandemic certainly added to that.
265
00:15:29,475 --> 00:15:30,915
DEAN KELLY: It's like Groundhog Day.
266
00:15:30,976 --> 00:15:33,854
We have our deadlines
and then my kid's school year.
267
00:15:33,938 --> 00:15:36,273
That's how you knew
that time was passing.
268
00:15:37,107 --> 00:15:40,945
At Pixar, we've been lucky to be able
to work through this pandemic.
269
00:15:41,028 --> 00:15:44,573
SUSMAN: Immersed back in our families
in ways that we hadn't been.
270
00:15:44,657 --> 00:15:49,036
KELLY: Looking at it now, it's evident
that the pandemic influenced Buzz's story.
271
00:15:49,119 --> 00:15:53,374
Being able to overcome these odds,
but also know that you're not alone
272
00:15:53,457 --> 00:15:55,584
and trying to do
what you need to get done.
273
00:15:56,835 --> 00:16:01,006
It's amazing to see how connected we are
and how separated we are at the same time.
274
00:16:02,549 --> 00:16:04,969
"That would be
an interesting problem for Buzz.
275
00:16:05,052 --> 00:16:06,637
"Could he be in a situation where
276
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,598
"he was traveling through time
at a different rate than others?"
277
00:16:09,682 --> 00:16:10,724
It's looking good.
278
00:16:10,808 --> 00:16:13,018
I don't want to overwork
the dough on that stuff.
279
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:14,520
- All right.
- Great.
280
00:16:14,603 --> 00:16:16,081
- Hey, welcome, everybody.
- MAN: Same.
281
00:16:16,105 --> 00:16:20,818
MACLANE: The Pixar story process
is simultaneously regimented
282
00:16:22,361 --> 00:16:23,737
and also chaos.
283
00:16:23,821 --> 00:16:27,282
The first few years of the film,
it's actually the story department
284
00:16:27,366 --> 00:16:30,244
and editorial kind of building the film
from scratch.
285
00:16:31,870 --> 00:16:35,374
In story, we're drawing every single thing
that's on the page
286
00:16:35,457 --> 00:16:36,959
in a very cinematic way,
287
00:16:37,042 --> 00:16:40,587
and we get to see how each part
of the script is working or not working.
288
00:16:41,422 --> 00:16:44,299
BUZZ: I'm not sure you could
classify this as wallowing.
289
00:16:44,383 --> 00:16:47,261
It's interesting how quickly
it starts to feel like a movie.
290
00:16:47,344 --> 00:16:50,723
Couple of frames in and you're like,
"Okay, this is what this is."
291
00:16:50,806 --> 00:16:53,058
He's like, "Hang in there, guys."
And then...
292
00:16:53,142 --> 00:16:55,394
(IMITATES EXPLOSION) Blast!
293
00:16:55,477 --> 00:16:58,814
We're constantly revising our movie,
294
00:16:58,897 --> 00:17:00,190
our story, our script.
295
00:17:00,315 --> 00:17:02,818
HEADLEY: You never think,
"That's good, we're finished."
296
00:17:02,901 --> 00:17:05,237
There are holes that are
just filled with stuff
297
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,489
that aren't
going to be a part of the movie.
298
00:17:07,573 --> 00:17:11,285
MACLANE: Unpacking why things are funny,
why things work is part of the job.
299
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,664
We have to get to the next bit,
and I feel like the next bit is
300
00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:17,708
Zurg holding Buzz, right?
301
00:17:17,791 --> 00:17:18,792
So he turns...
302
00:17:19,418 --> 00:17:22,629
What if it's a reaction,
like Zurg's like... And he reacts?
303
00:17:22,713 --> 00:17:25,466
That way. Just so we know
that something is wrong.
304
00:17:25,549 --> 00:17:28,385
What's great about science fiction
is you can do anything.
305
00:17:31,805 --> 00:17:37,686
We've written so many sequences that
don't exist anymore, that are just so fun.
306
00:17:38,312 --> 00:17:41,273
Laser heists and sticky space situations,
307
00:17:41,523 --> 00:17:43,442
falling from great heights,
308
00:17:43,525 --> 00:17:44,693
killer robots.
309
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:46,945
All these things
that you're trying out,
310
00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:49,239
and ultimately none of that matters.
311
00:17:49,323 --> 00:17:52,785
What matters is what's happening
with these characters in this moment,
312
00:17:52,868 --> 00:17:55,746
how they're changing from
these people into these people.
313
00:17:57,831 --> 00:17:59,333
Ready, Captain Lightyear?
314
00:17:59,416 --> 00:18:01,460
Ready as I'll ever be,
Commander Hawthorne.
315
00:18:01,543 --> 00:18:03,462
- To infinity...
- And beyond.
316
00:18:03,545 --> 00:18:04,963
- (IMITATES EXPLOSION)
- (GASPS)
317
00:18:05,047 --> 00:18:06,131
(GRUNTS) No.
318
00:18:06,215 --> 00:18:08,467
ANGUS MACLANE: Buzz in this film
is a Space Ranger.
319
00:18:09,051 --> 00:18:13,347
He is a human from Earth,
dedicated to Star Command.
320
00:18:17,351 --> 00:18:19,520
CHRIS EVANS: The movie begins
with Buzz Lightyear
321
00:18:19,603 --> 00:18:22,022
and his people on this giant, giant ship.
322
00:18:26,026 --> 00:18:30,864
They stop on a detour 'cause they notice
a planet that has some resources.
323
00:18:34,535 --> 00:18:37,663
Buzz Lightyear Mission Log.
Stardate 3-9-0-1.
324
00:18:37,746 --> 00:18:41,166
Sensors have detected potential lifeforms
on an uncharted planet.
325
00:18:41,792 --> 00:18:44,461
There seems to be no sign
of intelligent life anywhere.
326
00:18:45,546 --> 00:18:48,841
EVANS: The ship gets attacked,
then, as they're trying to take off,
327
00:18:48,924 --> 00:18:52,094
Buzz is responsible for the ship crashing.
328
00:18:53,846 --> 00:18:56,515
MACLANE: He spends an entire film
trying to get back home.
329
00:18:57,891 --> 00:19:00,435
Not only is it his fault,
based on his actions,
330
00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:03,564
but he had the opportunity to be assisted.
He could've had help.
331
00:19:03,647 --> 00:19:05,691
I'm better off just doing the job myself.
332
00:19:07,317 --> 00:19:10,487
In trying to return home,
333
00:19:11,488 --> 00:19:16,702
Buzz would have to be doing tests
that would cause him to time travel.
334
00:19:22,666 --> 00:19:25,085
COMPUTER: Approaching 50% hyperspeed.
335
00:19:25,169 --> 00:19:28,463
It takes him about four or five minutes
to do one of these missions
336
00:19:28,547 --> 00:19:30,966
while everybody else on the planet
ages four years.
337
00:19:31,049 --> 00:19:35,345
He is aging at a different rate
than all of his friends,
338
00:19:35,429 --> 00:19:39,224
and he sees them grow old
as he continually fails
339
00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:41,268
to make up for the big mistake.
340
00:19:42,102 --> 00:19:45,397
That social dislocation
was the most captivating to all of us.
341
00:19:45,731 --> 00:19:46,940
Thought we'd lost you, Buzz.
342
00:19:47,024 --> 00:19:48,525
Alisha? What happened?
343
00:19:49,443 --> 00:19:50,485
Time dilation.
344
00:19:50,569 --> 00:19:51,653
What?
345
00:19:51,737 --> 00:19:53,155
Time dilation is quite simple.
346
00:19:53,238 --> 00:19:55,282
As you approached hyperspeed,
347
00:19:55,365 --> 00:19:57,743
your time slowed relative to our own.
348
00:19:57,826 --> 00:20:00,913
I'm glad you asked me about time dilation,
because I am a physicist.
349
00:20:01,163 --> 00:20:03,749
Right? So the faster...
350
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:05,500
Oh, boy.
351
00:20:05,584 --> 00:20:07,502
The faster you travel,
352
00:20:07,586 --> 00:20:11,006
relative to something
that is not traveling at that speed,
353
00:20:11,089 --> 00:20:16,136
your time slows down
because time is relative and...
354
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:20,265
The faster you you go toward...
Approaching the speed of light,
355
00:20:20,891 --> 00:20:26,063
the less time passes for you
relativistically.
356
00:20:26,647 --> 00:20:29,191
Now, nobody actually can hit
the speed of light.
357
00:20:29,274 --> 00:20:31,360
You would become infinite mass.
358
00:20:31,443 --> 00:20:34,363
Would explode type of thing...
Like, you wouldn't be.
359
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,740
That makes no sense.
360
00:20:36,823 --> 00:20:39,952
You really should get somebody
really smart in here for this.
361
00:20:42,496 --> 00:20:46,917
Station, this is Angus MacLane and
Galyn Susman with Pixar Animation.
362
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,085
Do you hear us?
363
00:20:48,168 --> 00:20:49,336
How do you hear us?
364
00:20:50,045 --> 00:20:52,631
The time dilations is real.
365
00:20:52,714 --> 00:20:54,675
Because the speed of light is the same
366
00:20:54,758 --> 00:20:57,719
no matter who's looking,
who's observing it,
367
00:20:57,803 --> 00:21:00,430
that time progresses more slowly
368
00:21:00,514 --> 00:21:03,058
for people and objects
that are moving fast
369
00:21:03,141 --> 00:21:05,227
compared to the objects
that are not moving fast.
370
00:21:05,310 --> 00:21:08,039
MAN: Station, this is Houston ACR.
That concludes the event. Thank you.
371
00:21:08,063 --> 00:21:09,543
MACLANE: Thank you.
SUSMAN: Thank you.
372
00:21:11,275 --> 00:21:13,360
That's what time dilation is.
373
00:21:13,443 --> 00:21:14,987
And I don't want any letters.
374
00:21:16,321 --> 00:21:19,283
MARGARET SPENCER:
One of the biggest nuts to crack
375
00:21:19,449 --> 00:21:21,368
was why Buzz cares so much.
376
00:21:21,451 --> 00:21:23,495
Something that really helped us out was
377
00:21:23,578 --> 00:21:26,999
the creation of this character, Alisha,
the partner,
378
00:21:27,082 --> 00:21:29,835
somebody who we could track aging
as he was staying the same.
379
00:21:30,877 --> 00:21:33,505
UZO ADUBA: Alisha is a dynamic...
380
00:21:33,588 --> 00:21:34,798
That's an order.
381
00:21:34,881 --> 00:21:36,425
Capable leader.
382
00:21:36,508 --> 00:21:38,677
I'm gonna grant you four minutes
to be off-planet,
383
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,804
but then you come right back to us.
384
00:21:40,929 --> 00:21:43,765
Trying to advance and save the universe
385
00:21:43,849 --> 00:21:46,476
along with her friend, Buzz Lightyear.
386
00:21:46,810 --> 00:21:49,354
Okay, but maybe
we should think about this.
387
00:21:49,438 --> 00:21:52,190
The great tragedy of it is
388
00:21:52,274 --> 00:21:56,486
because he was so focused
and so consumed with the mission...
389
00:21:56,570 --> 00:21:59,656
- That's what Space Rangers do.
- At what cost, Buzz?
390
00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:02,242
Are you willing to lose
another four years?
391
00:22:02,868 --> 00:22:05,829
He missed all of her life.
392
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,252
SUSMAN: What Alisha represents
is the life well-lived,
393
00:22:12,753 --> 00:22:13,962
that he never had.
394
00:22:15,672 --> 00:22:17,174
Buzz Lightyear to the rescue.
395
00:22:18,342 --> 00:22:21,595
Buzz Lightyear, the character design
is extraordinarily iconic.
396
00:22:22,220 --> 00:22:25,640
And I wanted to celebrate
and get away from that design.
397
00:22:26,933 --> 00:22:30,312
SUSMAN: Trying to get the right balance
398
00:22:30,395 --> 00:22:35,359
of the Buzz people are expecting to see
when they walk into the theater
399
00:22:36,735 --> 00:22:40,030
with enough new, different mystery...
400
00:22:40,572 --> 00:22:42,491
"I'm now the protagonist,
401
00:22:43,867 --> 00:22:45,786
"and have my own story and growth."
402
00:22:45,869 --> 00:22:48,997
That balance is really tricky.
403
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,458
He will step out of the ship.
404
00:22:51,541 --> 00:22:54,503
And if you remember
all the way back in Toy Story,
405
00:22:54,586 --> 00:22:56,713
when we first met Buzz,
406
00:22:56,797 --> 00:23:00,592
you pan up and you see his face,
well, we have a shot very similar to that,
407
00:23:00,675 --> 00:23:03,637
to try to help get people into
the, "Okay, this is Buzz"...
408
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,990
I will explore further
the oddities of this strange planet.
409
00:23:06,014 --> 00:23:07,641
This is kind of the Buzz we know,
410
00:23:07,724 --> 00:23:10,977
but this is not the Buzz we know.
Because it's a different Buzz.
411
00:23:13,021 --> 00:23:15,107
And the stakes are even higher
412
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:17,734
when you're taking
a beloved character like Buzz Lightyear
413
00:23:17,818 --> 00:23:19,653
and you're reimagining him.
414
00:23:19,736 --> 00:23:24,408
There's somebody out there
with a Buzz Lightyear tattoo on their arm.
415
00:23:24,491 --> 00:23:26,952
I don't want that person
coming up to me later and be like,
416
00:23:27,035 --> 00:23:28,870
"Look, man,
you ruined my childhood.
417
00:23:28,954 --> 00:23:30,414
"You ruined my arm." You know.
418
00:23:32,165 --> 00:23:34,668
SUSMAN: Character design starts
from the Toy Story Buzz,
419
00:23:35,335 --> 00:23:39,714
but Toy Story Buzz
has this ginormous chin.
420
00:23:40,382 --> 00:23:42,717
That's just not real.
That's not human.
421
00:23:42,801 --> 00:23:44,511
Nobody has a chin that big.
422
00:23:44,594 --> 00:23:46,555
To get the Buzz Lightyear
from the toy
423
00:23:46,638 --> 00:23:50,308
to now this actual human action hero,
424
00:23:50,392 --> 00:23:52,060
he becomes a Space Ranger.
425
00:23:52,144 --> 00:23:54,271
But we also see his heart grow.
426
00:23:56,731 --> 00:24:00,986
To tell that story,
there had to be stakes and issues
427
00:24:01,069 --> 00:24:03,822
that a man would deal with
and not a toy.
428
00:24:05,907 --> 00:24:09,619
When I design a character,
it's usually an emotional reason first.
429
00:24:10,579 --> 00:24:14,958
Then later we can start talking about
shape and why he did certain things.
430
00:24:15,041 --> 00:24:19,254
But as an artist, I can't say,
"Oh, this is how we made him vulnerable."
431
00:24:20,005 --> 00:24:22,257
Somehow putting your heart
into something,
432
00:24:22,340 --> 00:24:24,134
as humans, we just know that.
433
00:24:26,052 --> 00:24:27,721
That's very ethereal.
434
00:24:29,347 --> 00:24:31,600
DEAN HEEZEN: The art of caricature
is all about pushing
435
00:24:31,683 --> 00:24:34,394
the shapes and certain features.
436
00:24:34,478 --> 00:24:37,772
Taking what's there in real life
and emphasizing it.
437
00:24:38,565 --> 00:24:43,236
We were laughing 'cause when we tried
the big chin, and the round eyes,
438
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,280
and the severe brows,
439
00:24:45,363 --> 00:24:49,451
those proportions, it was hard
not to make him look like a jerk.
440
00:24:50,660 --> 00:24:54,080
The biggest thing is,
in our film Buzz has hair.
441
00:24:54,164 --> 00:24:57,626
NOLTE: We never saw Buzz Lightyear
without his... They call it a snood,
442
00:24:57,709 --> 00:24:59,544
the purple thing he wears on his head.
443
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:00,795
Thank goodness for Google.
444
00:25:00,879 --> 00:25:02,506
Snoods. I'm like, "What is that?"
445
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:04,674
I look it up.
"Okay, that's what that is."
446
00:25:05,592 --> 00:25:07,761
MACLANE: So he's got hair.
We work with the hair.
447
00:25:07,844 --> 00:25:10,222
The hair was first.
What's the hair gonna look like?
448
00:25:10,305 --> 00:25:12,682
His chin is pretty defining.
Got to have the chin.
449
00:25:12,766 --> 00:25:15,435
He's got the little curly cue,
which is like a dimple chin.
450
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:16,853
He's got big, round eyes.
451
00:25:16,937 --> 00:25:19,773
How do you work them
into the stylization of the world?
452
00:25:20,148 --> 00:25:22,484
He's got a barrel chest and narrow waist.
453
00:25:22,901 --> 00:25:25,737
NOLTE: What did he look like
underneath the space suit?
454
00:25:26,488 --> 00:25:28,406
And that was an exploration too.
455
00:25:28,990 --> 00:25:31,576
Angus wanted him to feel
a little bit more vulnerable,
456
00:25:31,660 --> 00:25:32,786
a little more relatable.
457
00:25:32,869 --> 00:25:34,120
I can't get out of this.
458
00:25:34,621 --> 00:25:38,416
So I can't get a sense of...
I can't get any emotion out of it.
459
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:40,502
Story-wise,
it's about the birth of a hero,
460
00:25:40,585 --> 00:25:42,379
not a hero that became a bigger hero.
461
00:25:43,630 --> 00:25:47,717
I would start him off as John Glenn
and turn him into Han Solo.
462
00:25:49,135 --> 00:25:52,764
The most difficult aspect is the head,
and you're totally nailing that.
463
00:25:53,682 --> 00:25:55,517
NOLTE: Once we got approved in art,
464
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,104
that goes on into
the character modeling rig department.
465
00:26:00,814 --> 00:26:02,816
Very, very, very collaborative discovery.
466
00:26:05,485 --> 00:26:09,781
We just pass it around like a football,
always after the same goal of
467
00:26:09,864 --> 00:26:12,701
maintaining the appeal
that was in the original art
468
00:26:12,784 --> 00:26:14,661
but discovering new problems.
469
00:26:15,787 --> 00:26:18,582
Just feeling a little harsh,
right in there.
470
00:26:19,833 --> 00:26:22,752
We've got an established character
that everyone knows and loves.
471
00:26:22,836 --> 00:26:27,924
It was up to us to go back
and flesh out this whole world
472
00:26:28,008 --> 00:26:29,884
that we've never encountered.
473
00:26:29,968 --> 00:26:33,179
We've just got little bits and pieces
of it through toy Buzz.
474
00:26:33,263 --> 00:26:38,059
So we had tried a lot of different
callbacks and homages like Lunar Larry.
475
00:26:38,143 --> 00:26:40,812
That's where we get this
sort of orangish red color.
476
00:26:41,896 --> 00:26:44,858
We made sure to call back
to the original Buzz Lightyear suit,
477
00:26:44,941 --> 00:26:48,069
so we still have buttons on it.
Got the wing logo,
478
00:26:48,153 --> 00:26:50,280
the wrist communicator,
all that stuff.
479
00:26:50,363 --> 00:26:52,741
The gear, you know. Angus loves the gear.
480
00:26:52,824 --> 00:26:54,159
He loves all the stuff.
481
00:26:54,242 --> 00:26:56,328
We gave him lots of cool accessories.
482
00:26:58,538 --> 00:27:02,083
That he promptly loses immediately,
'cause that's what would really happen.
483
00:27:02,375 --> 00:27:04,252
ALEXANDER: Angus cares about everything.
484
00:27:04,336 --> 00:27:08,381
And when I say he cares about everything,
literally everything.
485
00:27:10,175 --> 00:27:12,552
NOLTE: "Does that lever have
some sort of ribbing on it
486
00:27:12,636 --> 00:27:15,472
"so your thumb would be
able to slide it easy?"
487
00:27:15,555 --> 00:27:19,476
Whether it's how deep a panel line is or
488
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:22,062
even belt buckles, lots of belt buckles.
489
00:27:29,861 --> 00:27:32,947
MACLANE: I arrive at a picture
of the whole
490
00:27:33,031 --> 00:27:35,283
through a series of connected details.
491
00:27:36,826 --> 00:27:38,703
I really wanted things to be tactile.
492
00:27:38,787 --> 00:27:42,290
You should be able to feel
like you can touch this thing.
493
00:27:42,374 --> 00:27:45,251
Buttons, switches.
494
00:27:45,335 --> 00:27:48,880
More just making a world
that feels believable and lived in.
495
00:27:48,963 --> 00:27:51,424
That will allow
the emotional story to come forward.
496
00:27:51,508 --> 00:27:55,011
You might also see that he's,
through years of being an animator,
497
00:27:55,095 --> 00:27:58,431
is kind of obsessed with
the performance of hands in the movie.
498
00:27:59,391 --> 00:28:01,142
I'd be curious if we could build the hands
499
00:28:01,226 --> 00:28:03,770
so that the index finger was
aligned like that.
500
00:28:05,146 --> 00:28:08,775
Angus wants that hand to say
exactly what a character is feeling.
501
00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:19,536
To him, a hand pose can signify
how much power
502
00:28:19,619 --> 00:28:22,288
and strength a person has.
503
00:28:22,372 --> 00:28:24,541
Depending on how you pose the thumb,
504
00:28:24,624 --> 00:28:27,752
it can show whether that person
is a strong character or not.
505
00:28:33,425 --> 00:28:34,634
MACLANE: I like toys a lot.
506
00:28:35,969 --> 00:28:37,721
I have strong opinions about them.
507
00:28:40,056 --> 00:28:43,518
And so for a lot of the big ships,
I just built them out of LEGO bricks.
508
00:28:44,144 --> 00:28:45,854
I want something like this.
509
00:28:47,564 --> 00:28:50,400
GREGORY PELTZ:
LEGO bricks are Angus' medium.
510
00:28:50,483 --> 00:28:52,569
He does all these awesome mockups.
511
00:28:52,652 --> 00:28:54,696
Here's how he sketched it
out in LEGO bricks.
512
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,781
And then I did my pass on it.
513
00:29:00,368 --> 00:29:05,874
This is the 15th ship Buzz uses
to test this light speed fuel.
514
00:29:07,041 --> 00:29:09,961
PELTZ: It's a movie that's full of
cool stuff to make toys out of,
515
00:29:10,044 --> 00:29:12,422
that was made by people who love toys.
516
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:15,175
This is the best one.
This is the best thing.
517
00:29:17,260 --> 00:29:20,805
And Angus remembers details
on movies that are insane.
518
00:29:20,889 --> 00:29:23,308
He has an encyclopedic
knowledge of cinema.
519
00:29:23,391 --> 00:29:26,102
Chased through a trolley graveyard.
520
00:29:26,186 --> 00:29:29,647
Little more Me, Myself and Irene,
than Raising Arizona.
521
00:29:30,231 --> 00:29:31,858
Gandalf. "Fly, you fools."
522
00:29:31,941 --> 00:29:33,151
Indiana Jones. Scooby-Doo.
523
00:29:33,234 --> 00:29:34,545
Shawshank. Beautiful Mind-ing it.
524
00:29:34,569 --> 00:29:36,613
You need to Double Impact it a little bit.
525
00:29:36,696 --> 00:29:37,947
Like, he remembers...
526
00:29:38,990 --> 00:29:39,991
not just lines.
527
00:29:40,074 --> 00:29:42,160
No, Kaa from Jungle Book...
528
00:29:42,243 --> 00:29:43,345
HEADLEY: Sorry, I'll use his name
529
00:29:43,369 --> 00:29:45,431
that's a different animation cycle.
That's like...
530
00:29:45,455 --> 00:29:49,042
HEADLEY: He remembers the timing
of where roughly it happens in a movie.
531
00:29:49,125 --> 00:29:52,170
He's like, "I think it was at
two minutes into the second act,
532
00:29:52,253 --> 00:29:54,547
"you'll see this happen
and this musical cue."
533
00:29:54,631 --> 00:29:56,800
And you're like,
"Wow, that's so specific."
534
00:29:56,883 --> 00:29:59,052
A million small details
that you have to focus on,
535
00:29:59,135 --> 00:30:01,429
and you can make all
of the elements awesome.
536
00:30:01,513 --> 00:30:04,265
And then when you watch the movie,
it may not be awesome.
537
00:30:04,349 --> 00:30:06,351
There are a million things
that can go wrong,
538
00:30:06,434 --> 00:30:07,727
and you won't even know.
539
00:30:07,811 --> 00:30:09,145
It's a crazy, crazy thing.
540
00:30:09,479 --> 00:30:11,272
It's wonderful and it's horrible.
541
00:30:11,606 --> 00:30:12,816
All directors go insane.
542
00:30:17,612 --> 00:30:21,282
The first thing I directed was a play
when I was in kindergarten.
543
00:30:21,407 --> 00:30:25,286
And I have to say I may have obsessed
a little bit too much about the costumes.
544
00:30:26,579 --> 00:30:30,250
Even though there weren't swords involved
in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
545
00:30:30,333 --> 00:30:32,585
in my version, there were a lot of swords.
546
00:30:34,838 --> 00:30:39,592
Design and acting and performing
and movies was just my thing.
547
00:30:42,345 --> 00:30:45,223
I was really obsessed with things.
548
00:30:47,475 --> 00:30:48,977
When I finally came to Pixar,
549
00:30:50,186 --> 00:30:51,187
I wasn't the only one.
550
00:30:52,564 --> 00:30:55,233
Buzz Lightyear to Star Command.
Come in, Star Command.
551
00:31:10,582 --> 00:31:13,084
HEADLEY: I have a working theory
on storytelling,
552
00:31:13,209 --> 00:31:15,295
and why we enjoy stories, is because
553
00:31:15,378 --> 00:31:18,548
primarily we're dumb
and we can't remember things.
554
00:31:18,631 --> 00:31:23,261
And so we need to have the same lessons
taught to us over and over again,
555
00:31:23,761 --> 00:31:25,346
so that we remember to be decent,
556
00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:28,266
and we remember that
we're a part of a community.
557
00:31:29,934 --> 00:31:33,980
And it's certainly a way that I learn
and carry things with me through life.
558
00:31:35,023 --> 00:31:37,901
SUSMAN: I was always driven
by making a picture.
559
00:31:38,192 --> 00:31:41,905
But there was something about
the collaboration of different skills
560
00:31:41,988 --> 00:31:46,534
that come together when you do a film
that was just so much more
561
00:31:46,618 --> 00:31:49,662
rewarding and entertaining,
562
00:31:49,746 --> 00:31:53,541
and I could see doing that
every day for the rest of my life.
563
00:31:54,542 --> 00:31:56,628
When you've worked at Pixar for 10 years,
564
00:31:56,711 --> 00:32:01,299
you get a really cool bronze statue
of Buzz Lightyear.
565
00:32:03,843 --> 00:32:08,097
PETE: Buzz represents
a certain amount of tradition,
566
00:32:08,181 --> 00:32:09,933
but he's also kind of the new guy.
567
00:32:11,267 --> 00:32:13,811
There's something so aspirational
about Buzz.
568
00:32:15,438 --> 00:32:19,192
If you want to acknowledge a decade spent
569
00:32:19,275 --> 00:32:23,112
and at the same time say,
"To infinity and beyond,"
570
00:32:23,196 --> 00:32:25,239
you've got lots more to do together,
571
00:32:25,323 --> 00:32:27,575
what better character than Buzz?
572
00:32:41,798 --> 00:32:43,466
EVANS: Gonna say it like the classic,
573
00:32:43,549 --> 00:32:44,926
- "To infinity..."
- EVANS: Sure.
574
00:32:45,259 --> 00:32:47,470
To infinity and beyond!
575
00:32:52,517 --> 00:32:54,102
No one can touch Tim Allen, really.
576
00:33:00,441 --> 00:33:02,694
Question. Are we saying...
Because as a...
577
00:33:02,777 --> 00:33:05,488
Just so we're clear about it,
now is an admission section.
578
00:33:05,571 --> 00:33:06,781
As a Toy Story fan...
579
00:33:12,787 --> 00:33:16,666
Are we saying it like the way Buzz...
580
00:33:16,833 --> 00:33:17,959
Okay. Copy.
581
00:33:23,131 --> 00:33:24,298
"To infinity..."
582
00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:29,137
Sorry. I'm so sorry.
583
00:33:30,722 --> 00:33:32,807
I'm excited. That was just a good one.
584
00:33:32,932 --> 00:33:34,559
(LAUGHS)
585
00:33:34,642 --> 00:33:37,645
Sorry. I couldn't even continue.
I was like...
586
00:33:45,695 --> 00:33:46,988
Oh, my gosh.
587
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,329
It's crazy.
588
00:34:02,837 --> 00:34:05,798
I sort of come out wild. OMG.
