“"To infinity and beyond!"”

Hi Strands fans. For Pixar fans, the phrase "To infinity and beyond!" can only mean one thing, and I count myself as one of them.
That meant I immediately found BUZZ spent backwards from right to left and WOODY at the top. That isolated SLINKY in the top-left corner, giving me a great start.
I decided to get the spangram out of the way, and duly found TOYSTORY spanning the grid from left to right. That gave me both WHEEZY and ALIEN to complete the top half.
I found BULLSEYE next in the bottom right, and it's just as well I did as I'm not sure I'd have ever got TWITCH in the bottom right otherwise.
Apparently Twitch is the praying mantis villain from Toy Story 3, which feels like a really obscure choice - especially when there's no room for Jessie, Bo Peep, Hamm or either of the Potato Heads on the grid. Still, I got there in the end!
