What it means

Our interpretation.

Buzz's built-in voice turns his first moment into a commercial jingle, and everyone in the room is dazzled by the confident, shiny newcomer. Because Buzz believes he is the real thing, it is also sincere. Fans shout it as a mock-heroic entrance, and it became Buzz's trademark entrance.

Toy Story (1995): Buzz Lightyear has just arrived in Andy's room as a birthday present, and the other toys crowd around the newcomer. When one of them asks what a button on his arm does, Buzz presses it. Wings spring out of his back, a light blinks, and a recorded voice announces that Buzz Lightyear is to the rescue. The toys are impressed and compare his sound system to Woody's pull string, which sounds as if a car ran over it. Tim Allen voices Buzz.
