Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear is a fictional space ranger character from the Pixar *Toy Story* films, a toy action figure who initially believes he's an actual astronaut rather than a plaything.

The character has become a cultural touchstone for self-delusion or grandiosity: He thinks he's Buzz Lightyear, but he's just middle management.

His catchphrase "to infinity and beyond" has entered general usage as an expression of boundless ambition or enthusiasm.
