He doesn't have a dad - as Woody constantly reminds him, he is a toy.ĭisney and Pixar created a problem for themselves when introducing three different Zurg backstories into the Toy Story canon. The only backstory Tim Allen's Buzz has is that he was made in a factory and given to Andy on his birthday. Plus, even though they're linked, it should be remembered that Tim Allen played an action figure, not the more robust movie character portrayed by Evans in Lightyear. A Lightyear spin-off was never on the cards when Toy Story 2 was being made in the late '90s, so future continuity issues weren't a priority. In any case, Toy Story and Lightyear are kids' movies whose canon shouldn't be taken too seriously.

However, this turned out to be a diversion, which created a precedent for Zurg lying about being Buzz’s father as a distraction.
During this episode, Zurg revealed that he was Buzz’s father in the middle of a fight. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command season 1, episode 41, “Stranger Invasion” directly referenced the elevator scene. The 2000-2001 animated series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command followed Buzz’s adventures across the galaxy with a team of space rangers, and it contradicted Toy Story 2.
