...looks like the overgrown kid he is at heart. He's just silly enough to ride a motorized hot dog to a Hollywood premiere. His offices at Pixar's animation studios in Point Richmond, outside San Francisco, are host to a veritable convention of Buzz and Woody toys: Mech Warrior Buzz, Space Sheriff Woody, Space Claw Buzz, Snake Whippin' Woody. They're not just props: Lasseter checks each toy tied in to Pixar's films. "He plays as hard as he works," laughs Lasseter's co-director, Andrew Stanton...

Let's take this outside!" These warrior witnesses convince me that there is no good strategic reason for anyone to sit and listen to his character being trashed by committee members with their share of flaws. During one such hearing, the accusers included a plagiarist, an influence peddler, an apologist for organized crime and a criminally negligent motorist...
