Billy Crystal's Test Screen for Toy Story

Billy Crystal was originally approached by Pixar to provide the voice of Buzz Lightyear in 'Toy Story' (1995). He turned that offer down.
However, they wanted him so badly for the movie, they took lines from 'When Harry Met Sally' and animated them. Here's the result.

@alagateryandchesnut3 They talked about it and then showed it on Inside the Actors Studio when Billy Crystal was on the show

Heh, guess he realized his mistake and took on Monsters, Inc.

This makes me appreciate Tim Allen.

I heard (from Wikipedia) that Billy Crystal regretted not accepting the role of Buzz, thus quickly jumped on board for Monsters Inc., which I will admit, was a good call.

Lovin' the red suit, Buzz. ;D

I say that Tim Allen still makes his voice work the most. I don't know how the "imma rael space ranger" plot would turn out with Crystal's voice.

This is mesmerizing. I want to watch this at least eighty more times.

No, this is fake. That line is from the movie "City Slickers", you can even hear Bruno Kirby, the co-star talking at the end. LOL!
