Patricia Heaton Slams ‘Stupid’ Decision to Cut Tim Allen From ‘Lightyear’: ‘Huge Mistake’
15.06.2022 - 21:35 / usmagazine.com
Speaking her mind! Patricia Heaton didn’t hold back when it came to the decision to make Lightyear without Tim Allen.
“Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen,” Heaton, 64, wrote via Twitter on Tuesday, June 14. “Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns.

Allen, 69, voiced the role of Buzz Lightyear in all four Toy Story films, the first of which premiered in November 1995. Chris Evans plays the courageous space ranger in Lightyear, the iconic character’s origin story.

It would just cause more confusion for audiences instead of helping them understand the movie we’re trying to tell.”

For Buzz to be a main character he needed a little more gravitas, a little more vulnerability, needed to be funny but not in a goofy way that would undercut the drama. Chris embodied all of those things.”
Evans, 41, told USA Today that he would’ve been foolish not to

But this Buzz Lightyear, much to Patricia Heaton’s rather evocative dismay, is voiced not by Tim Allen, whose dulcet pipes graced all four “Toy Story” flicks, but by the Star Command-ing cadences of one Chris Evans.“Lightyear” is expected to launch to between $70 million to $80 million and will screen in 4,200 North American theaters. That should be a big enough number to secure first place at the box office, as well as all the attendant bragging rights that come with that perch.
