Tim Allen says 'Toy Story 5' has a 'really clever story'
Los Angeles, Hollywood veteran Tim Allen says the upcoming fifth chapter of the "Toy Story" franchise has a "clever story" and he recently completed recording his first session for the movie.
Allen, known for voicing the fan-favourite character of Buzz Lightyear in the animated franchise, said he is confident that "Toy Story 5" will be another successful entry.
"I just did the first five-hour session for Buzz, probably a week ago. It’s really, really weird to get back in it. I can’t tell you anything," the 71-year-old actor told Collider during an interview.
"It’s a very, very clever story. I don’t really believe it’s about the money. I’m sure they want it to be a success, but that’s not why they did it. Had they not come up with a brilliant script, they wouldn’t have done it and they wouldn’t have called me and Tom . It’s really clever," he added.
Allen has been a part of the franchise since the 1995 movie "Toy Story", which revolved around a diverse group of toys, led by Sheriff Woody, a classic cowboy doll, and Buzz Lightyear, a futuristic spaceman action figure.
