For me, it&#8217;s really great to be here. I got to watch the film and hear the performances that were really so special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Allen points out his performance of Buzz Lightyear has become so well-known that it &#8220;confuses&#8221; children when they hear him speak.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My little one&#8217;s 10 now, and she just doesn&#8217;t understand that dad is Buzz Lightyear. It&#8217;s very confusing for children,&#8221; he shares. &#8220;It looks like I ate Buzz Lightyear because I&#8217;ll talk in his voice and they&#8217;ll go, &#8216;That ugly man ate Buzz Lightyear.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, he recalls the one time a kid said that to him. &#8220;I actually had it happen in an elevator. A lady says do &#8216;The infinity thing&#8217;&nbsp;[because her]&nbsp;kid was misbehaving, and I did &#8216;To infinity and beyond,&#8217; and the kid screamed out loud &#8216;That ugly man ate Buzz Lightyear,&#8217; so you don&#8217;t want to do the voices around children. It is confusing for the young ones, but my kids love it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"57\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"4\">\n<p>The upcoming Pixar film is set to hit theaters on June 20.
