Patricia Heaton is not happy with Disney for replacing Tim Allen with Chris Evans in Lightyear

Actress Patricia Heaton is not happy with Disney for replacing Tim Allen with Chris Evans in the new Pixar’s Lightyear movie. The Everybody Loves Raymond actress voiced her opinion on her Twitter account Tuesday.

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?

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?

Many of her fans pointed out that Lightyear is an origin story and not about Buzz Lightyear the toy, voiced by Tim Allen.

So she followed that up with:

Ok so the current Buzz Lightyear movie is an origin story – but the reason the character became so beloved is because of what @ofctimallen created. Why remove the one element that makes us want to see it?#stupidHollywooddecisions https://t.co/bRn1lZgkac

Then today she posted:

Waking up in London to find my tweet about #BuzzLightyear generated more of a kerfuffle than my tweet about the box of aborted full term babies found in DC. Let us all ponder the state of our humanity.

Pixar’s Lightyear is facing a lot of backlash in the news lately due to a same-sex kiss where actress Uzo Aduba kissed another woman with whom she’s in a relationship. Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ Movie is currently banned in fourteen markets across the Middle East and Southeast Asia for portraying the Same-Sex relationship.
