00:00That man just swallowed Buzz Lightyear!
00:02So who's the real Buzz?
00:04I am!
00:05It's a powerful, it's like a responsibility to some degree we have
00:09to understand that Woody and Buzz and their friendship,
00:13it's an important part of people's lives.
00:16Yeah, fast forward my place in New York and the kid was in an elevator
00:20punching his mom in the thigh and being a horrible kid.
00:23And I said, come on kid, to infinity and beyond.
00:26And he turned at me and looked like he was going to have a seizure.
00:30And he goes, that man just swallowed Buzz Lightyear!
00:33And I said, so Tom taught me to, we went to a children's hospital in Florida.
00:38Oh yeah.
00:39And it breaks your heart to see these kids with cancer.
00:42And he stands up and a couple of the kids, just an amazing moment.
00:46And he said, shut your eyes.
00:48And that's where I learned to do that.
00:50Don't look at this unusually weird looking man that can do Buzz.
00:55And these wonderful kids would shut their eyes and he and I would do Woody and Buzz behind them.
00:59It's an amazing experience that this affects people.
01:03And I don't take it for granted.
