BPR "After not reprising his role as the lead character, actor and comedian Tim Allen had maintained his distance from the new Disney Pixar film “Lightyear,” and as the controversial film has struggled at the box office, his decision to finally weigh in was hardly an endorsement of the animated feature.
"Since Pixar’s launch with “Toy Story” in 1995, Allen had voiced the Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear in full-length films, television specials and video games. But, when Disney announced the production of an origin story for the character, actor Chris Evans had been cast to replace the voice of the iconic hero.". . .
. . ."As they promoted their new History Channel show, “More Power,” Allen was joined by costar Richard Karn in an interview for “Extra” where he opened up to Jenn Lahmers on how fans have been upset that he wasn’t a part of it and how he feels, “It has no relationship to Buzz.”
“ 'I’ve stayed out of this cause it has nothing to do, as I’ve said a long time ago, we talked about this many years ago,” he explained. “It came up in one of the sessions what a fun movie that would be…but the brass that did the first four movies is not this, it’s a whole new team that really had nothing to do with the first movies.”
“ 'There’s really no ‘Toy Story’ Buzz without Woody,” Allen went on after recounting that at first he was led to believe the movie was going to be a live-action film and offering no comment on whether his right-leaning opinions were a factor in recasting.". . .
