Tim Allen is strictly Team Space Ranger at the 'Toy Story 5' premiere, hypes up Buzz Lightyear by "dissing" Woody

Tim Allen posed cheekily at the world premiere of Disney and Pixar’s 'Toy Story 5' at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, on June 9, 2026. The legendary actor leaned into his legendary character, Buzz Lightyear, by extending his arm out to strike his signature laser-beam pose for the flashing cameras. He caped off the fun interaction with a massive smile, humorously calling out by saying, "Forget about cowboys... it’s all about Space Rangers!" This highly anticipated world premiere took place ahead of the movie's theatrical release scheduled for June 19, 2026. Directed by Andrew Stanton, 'Toy Story 5' features a "Toys vs. Tech" storyline where Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), and Jessie (Joan Cusack) face off against Lilypad, a high-tech smart tablet voiced by Greta Lee that disrupts traditional playtime. This film marks over 30 years since Allen first brought the iconic Space Ranger to life in the original 1995 film, securing his legacy as a Disney legend and cementing Buzz Lightyear as a global pop culture phenomenon.
