told Extra. But the actor’s claim that “a whole new team” created “Lightyear” is, perhaps unsurprisingly, categorically untrue. Angus MacLane, who co-wrote and directed “Lightyear,” has been at Pixar for many years.
In fact, the first feature he worked on for the studio was 1999’s “Toy Story 2.” He worked on “Toy Story 3” and directed “Small Fry,” a “Toy Story” short that Allen starred in, as well as “Toy Story of Terror” (also co-starring Allen). “Lightyear” was green lit and championed by John Lasseter, the Pixar exec who directed “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2.” (He left the studio in 2018 after sexual misconduct allegations.) Composer Michael Giacchino scored “Toy Story of Terror” and “The Toy Story That Time Forgot.” And the list goes on from there.Allen, who last voiced Buzz in 2019’s “Toy Story 4,” also claimed that he thought the “Lightyear” project was a live-action film and not an animated feature.“It’s a wonderful story,” Allen said. “It just doesn’t seem to have any connection to the toy, and it’s a little … I don’t know.
It just has no relationship to Buzz. It’s just no connection. I wish there was a better connection to this.”To recap: “Lightyear” is the movie that Andy saw that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy.
The actual toy that appears in the “Toy Story” movies is actually from an animated series that probably followed in the wake of the “Lightyear” movie (as “The Real Ghostbusters” followed “Ghostbusters”). At the beginning of “Lightyear,” three text cards appear: “In 1995, a boy named Andy got a Buzz Lightyear toy for his birthday. It was from his favorite movie.

“Lightyear,” Pixar’s attempt to reinvent the “Toy Story” franchise, continues to struggle at the box office and has now drawn a bit of casting confusion from the real-life Woody star himself Tom Hanks.Chris Evans voices the titular character in the new film, which is basically the blockbuster movie that inspired the TV spinoff that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy that Andy had in “Toy Story.” If that sounds confusing, you’re not alone, as Hanks added his voice to the chorus of those confused why Tim Allen had no involvement in “Lightyear.”When asked if it will be strange for “Elvis” and “Lightyear” to overlap in theaters, Hanks told Cinema Blend: “How about that?

I don’t, I don’t understand that.” Despite Hanks’ confusion, the actor was happy that Hollywood was delivering audiences more product as the industry continues to try and entice consumers back into movie theaters.

Tim Allen is sharing his thoughts on the new Disney film "Lightyear" that stars Chris Evans. During an interview with Extra, Allen, 69, said the prequel to "Toy Story" is completely different from the original films.

Zack Sharf Tim Allen has finally weighed in on “Lightyear,” the Pixar movie inspired by the character he made famous in four “Toy Story” movies. Chris Evans voices the title character in “Lightyear.” The film functions in the “Toy Story” universe as the movie that inspired the toy that Allen voices, which is why Evans stepped into the role and why Allen was not involved. If it all sounds confusing, well, it is.“The short answer is I’ve stayed out of this because it has nothing to do [with my character],” Allen told “Extra” about the Pixar spinoff.
