Toy Story

Buzz in Toy Story.


In the original Toy Story, Buzz is a birthday present to Andy from his mother, Mrs. Davis. As Woody
introduces Buzz to Andy's room and the other toys, the cowboy quickly learns that Buzz believes
himself to be an actual "space ranger". This doesn't stop Buzz from becoming the most popular toy
in the bedroom, as well as with Andy, who ditches his western aesthetics for that of astronauts and
space. That, coupled with Buzz's delusions, sparks a bitter rivalry between Buzz and Woody.
One day, as Andy is about to leave for Pizza Planet, Woody tries to hide Buzz to prevent him from
going but he instead, accidentally knocks him out the window. As planned, regardless, Woody is
taken instead of Buzz, but only because Andy cannot find him. Buzz sneaks into the back of the
family's car anyway. During a gas stop, Buzz confronts Woody for his actions, but their bickering
results in the two being left behind. They catch a ride to Pizza Planet but are taken by a cruel child
named Sid Phillips before they can reunite with Andy. At Sid's house, Buzz spots a commercial on
television advertising the Buzz Lightyear action figure which reveals that the action figures are not
made for flight, proving Woody's claim that he's only a toy and not a real space ranger. Buzz tries to
prove his legitimacy by trying to fly out of the house through the upstairs window, but ends up falling
down the stairs and breaking his arm instead. He falls into a state of depression, which inadvertently
foils all of Woody's plans to get home.

Eventually, Sid plots to have Buzz blown up with a new firework he ordered. As Buzz accepts his
fate, Woody confesses his insecurities, revealing he felt inadequate compared to a toy as amazing
as Buzz. This gives Buzz his confidence back (after Woody says that he can't go back home,
because Andy and his toys wouldn't love him anymore), but Sid takes him before the two can
escape. Woody gathers the rest of Sid's toys to foil their owner's scheme, successfully saving Buzz.
The two then try to return to Andy, but he and his family have already packed up and began to move
to their new home. Woody and Buzz use the rocket to catch up, which eventually blasts the two into
the air. Instead of plummeting to their doom, Buzz uses his wing feature to "fall with style" (gliding)
safely into Mrs. Davis's car, reuniting the two with Andy.
