[[Billy Crystal]] was approached to play Buzz, and was given his own monologue, utilizing dialogue from ''[[When Harry Met Sally]]''. However, he turned down the role, believing the film would be unsuccessful due to its animation. Crystal regretted this upon seeing the film; he subsequently accepted the role of [[Mike Wazowski]] in the 2001 Pixar film ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]''. In addition to Crystal, [[Bill Murray]], [[Chevy Chase]] and [[Jim Carrey]], along with a number of other actors, including [[Jason Alexander]], [[Dan Aykroyd]], [[Matthew Broderick]], [[Kevin Costner]], [[Michael J. Fox]], [[Richard Gere]], [[David Hasselhoff]], [[Michael Keaton]], [[Wayne Knight]], [[Bill Paxton]], [[Dennis Quaid]], [[Kurt Russell]], [[Adam Sandler]] and [[John Travolta]], were also considered for the role of Buzz.<ref>{{cite web|last=Evans|first=Bradford|title=The Lost Roles of Bill Murray |date=February 17, 2011|url=http://splitsider.com/2011/02/the-lost-roles-of-bill-murray/ |access-date=May 25, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150520115025/http://splitsider.com/2011/02/the-lost-roles-of-bill-murray |archive-date=May 20, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Farr |first=John |title=Bill Murray and the Roles That Got Away |date=September 19, 2014 |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-farr/bill-murray-and-the-roles_b_5850434.html |work=The Huffington Post |access-date=May 25, 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20160111082612/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-farr/bill-murray-and-the-roles_b_5850434.html|archive-date=January 11, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Locke |first=Greg W. |title=The Top 25 Roles Bill Murray Didn't Take |date=August 26, 2011 |url=http://www.zecatalist.com/lists/the-top-25-roles-bob-murray-didnt-take/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111125110247/http://www.zecatalist.com/lists/the-top-25-roles-bob-murray-didnt-take/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 25, 2011 |access-date=May 25, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=THE FACES & FACTS BEHIND DISNEY CHARACTERS |publisher=[[E!]] |url=http://www.eonline.com/photos/12354/the-faces-facts-behind-disney-characters/380688 |access-date=April 3, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314063133/http://www.eonline.com/photos/12354/the-faces-facts-behind-disney-characters/380688|archive-date=March 14, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Kozak |first1=Jim |title=Serenity Now! |url=http://www.infocusmag.com/05augustseptember/whedonuncut.htm |access-date=August 10, 2015 |work=In Focus |publisher=National Association of Theatre Owners |date=August 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050803002725/http://www.infocusmag.com/05augustseptember/whedonuncut.htm |archive-date=August 3, 2005 |quote=Ironically, Disney put the kibosh on the person they wanted for Buzz Lightyear because he wasn't famous enough, so we couldn't use Jim Carrey.

[[John Morris (American actor)|John Morris]] (who voices Andy in the film) brought multiple toys, specifically 45 ''[[X-Men]]'' figures, contrary to the instructions of bringing just one, and Pixar reacted to his dumping of the toys with laughter.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Bierly |first=Mandi |date=June 18, 2010 |url=https://ew.com/article/2010/06/18/toy-story-3-john-morris-andy/ |title='Toy Story 3': Q&A with the voice of Andy, John Morris |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=April 15, 2021|archive-date=December 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201208145250/https://ew.com/article/2010/06/18/toy-story-3-john-morris-andy/|url-status=live}}</ref>
