Tim Allen reveals he struggled to get through ’emotional’ Toy Story 4 ending
The actor who voices Buzz Lightyear struggled to keep it together during his final recording sessions
TOY Story star Tim Allen has revealed he struggled to contain his emotions as he recorded voiceover work for the latest instalment of the Disney Pixar film series.
The 65-year-old actor said he became overwhelmed as he lent his voice to Buzz Lightyear for the fourth film in the family animated comedy series.
Toy Story has already produced three films between 1995 and 2010 – with the last, Toy Story 3, seeming to draw the film series to a close.
However, the cast and animators have been given another role of the dice to come up with a fourth tale to share on the big screen – and according to Tim, it will be the most touching story to date.
“It is so emotional, it's so funny, it's so big, the idea they've come up with, I'm startled,” the actor told The Talk.
He said he found the script so powerful that he struggled to complete his work on the project.
"I couldn't even get through the last scene. I would love to be a Washington leaker,” he said.
Asked to give more information on the film, Tim remained tight lipped.
"I just can't do it. I can't give any more away,” he teased.
"They've got great characters but a couple of scenes toward the end were really hard to get through,” he added.
Tim previously assured fans that the fourth instalment in the Toy Story saga would not just be a cash-in following the success of the previous three.
"Somehow they were able to advance this wonderful story that could have easily ended with number three being the best of the bunch,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
"It's emotional and funny and exciting and different and took it to a whole new level. It walks the line between comfort - you know what's going on - and discomfort - wondering what's going to happen. It's terrifically emotional," he added.
The plot of the fourth film is said to break from the tradition of the rescue/jail-break theme of previous instalments to tell a love story instead.
It is believed the story will focus on Woody’s quest to find Bo Peep – who had been given away prior to the events of Toy Story 3.
Tom Hanks and Annie Potts are also on board for Toy Story 4 to reprise their roles as Woody and Bo Peep respectively.
Toy Story 4 is due to hit cinemas in June 2019.
