A Nostalgic Look at Halloween from Back in the Day

Straight out of the Toy Story craze, this 1997 Buzz Lightyear costume beams with joy. The bright green, purple, and white suit transforms a little kid into the heroic space ranger, complete with gloves and a hood. That wide grin says it all—Halloween magic mixed with Pixar’s unforgettable adventure.

Toy Story had just cemented itself as a cultural phenomenon, and Buzz was every kid’s dream costume. This photo captures the thrill of bringing an animated hero to life. It’s a nostalgic reminder of the late ’90s, when dressing as your favorite character felt like soaring to infinity and beyond.
