Why Tim Allen calls 'Toy Story 5' storyline 'creepy'?
The actor voices the character of Buzz Lightyear in the movie
Tim Allen is opening up about one specific scene from Toy Story 5 that made both adults and kids go ‘Eew!' in the room.
The 73-year-old actor, who plays Buzz Lightyear in the animated film, told US Weekly that his character and fellow beloved character Jessie's smooch at the end of the film was "creepy!”
He explained, “When I’m doing [“Toy Story”], I’m literally an 8-year-old kid. That’s what the personality I feel is inside Buzz, is my 11-year-old."
"So it’s like, ‘Oh God, oh no, I’m doing that?!'” Tim noted.
Another reason for feeling the discomfort while watching the movie with his daughter as the actor is father to two girls, Katherine, 36, and 17-year-old Elizabeth.
The doting dad noted, “Every time there’s a kissing scene, everybody gets really quiet in the room. Especially when [Elizabeth was] a little younger. And that is exactly how I responded [to Buzz kissing Jessie].”
Tim continued, “I remember when I first read it, I said, ‘Are you going to show this?’
“It’s like Woody’s bald spot. You kind of move them out of the animated thing, and it gets into some larger dramatic questions. Can they get married? And let’s move on from there.”
But Tim admitted that he loved the scene too, as it became the point of discussion after one leaves the theater.
“I loved [it] because it affects everybody in the room. You know, adults, and then kids go, ‘Eew!’ You got that potpourri of responses," Tim remarked.
Toy Story 5 was theatrically released on June 19.
