Chris Evans in "Lightyear," not Tim Allen, who voiced the Buzz Lightyear character in four "Toy Story" films. "Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns," she wrote. "Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?"Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns.
Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?Following the "Everybody Loves Raymond" actress' post, many of her followers agreed, but others noted that casting the "Home Improvement" star wouldn't have made sense, as "Lightyear" is not about the action figure, but rather the origin story of the toy."Do people not pay attention?" one fan wrote back. "Tim Allen's Buzz is the toy based off of a person.
Chris Evan's Buzz is the the real person that inspired the toy. The movie is about Buzz Lightyear the Person, not Andy's toy."A slew of fans argued similarly.
Other Twitter users, though, pointed to politics and insisted that Disney didn't cast Tim because of his well-known conservative viewpoints. Interestingly enough, the "Last Man Standing" star is starring in an upcoming Disney series called "The Santa Clause."Still, Patricia would not concede. "OK, so the current Buzz Lightyear movie is an origin story — but the reason the character became so beloved is because of what [Tim Allen] created," she wrote in a follow-up tweet.
