While executives for the film argue they replaced Allen, an open Republican because the Buzz character in the spinoff “Lightyear” is different than the toy voiced by Allen, the couple announced the actual reason was over the actor’s politics.
“Why would they change the voice? Kids wanna hear the same voice in the toy that they heard in the movie,” Duffy announced.

“That’s how dumb this is, they’re trying to come up with an excuse as for why they’re canceling Tim Allen,” he went on. “They couldn’t let the reason be he’s a Republican, they had to create some other reason as for why they were kicking him out.”

Campos Duffy said no one online believes Disney, anyway. “Everyone knows that Tim Allen was basically canceled,” she stated.
The couple stressed that openly pro-life actress Patricia Heaton denounced Disney last month for the replacement, too, asking why the corporation would “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 [Tim Allen],” Heaton announced on Twitter, The Daily Wire reported. “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?”

Promoting “Lightyear,” producer Galyn Susman announced Allen was substituted because the Buzz character in the new film is “separate from the toy.”
“Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyear the toy,” Susman stated, according to Consequence Film. “We weren’t making a Toy Story movie. We’re making Buzz Lightyear’s movie. And so first and foremost, we just needed a different person playing that Lightyear, separate from the toy.”

Director Angus MacLane added that Buzz in “Lightyear” is “a little more well-rounded. Technically he’s a bit smarter because he’s not comic relief,” he stated. “He has to be funny, but not too goofy. And that’s why we went with Chris.”

The report stressed that “The Santa Clause,” starring Allen, will reportedly be returning to Disney Plus for a limited series.
“Lightyear,” which contains a gay kiss between two female characters, has struggled at the box office.

Allen further revealed that he was a part of discussions about the film early on.
“We talked about this many years ago. It came up in one of the sessions. I said, ‘What a fun movie that would be.’"
“But the brass that did the first four movies,” he stated likely in reference to departed Pixar chief John Lasseter, “this is a whole new team that really had nothing to do with the first movies.”
