Though Allen played Buzz Lightyear in the iconic Pixar film Toy Story, Chris Evans was cast in the role in this new film. Evans is 28 years younger than Allen to the day, and they both had birthdays yesterday.

“I saw the Buzz Lightyear trailer, and all I can say is that Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake by not casting my pal Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns,” she said. “Tim IS the Buzz! Why would they utterly neuter such an iconic and beloved character?”

Last week, Lightyear director Angus MacLane said that the producers purposefully cast Evans instead of Allen.

“Tim’s version of Buzz is a little goofier and dumber, so he serves as comic relief.” Buzz is the action hero in this picture,” he told Vanity Fair. “He’s serious, ambitious, and funny, but not in a goofy way that would undercut the drama.”

“Chris Evans has the gravitas and movie star quality that our character needed to separate him and the film from Tim’s version of the toy in Toy Story,” MacLane continued.

Evans was quick to applaud Allen for his unique interpretation of the character, stating that he utilized “Allen as a guideline.”

“I’d be a fool not to acknowledge the work he did,” he explained. “However, I couldn’t just do a shameless impersonation. I had to come up with my own interpretation of the figure and attempt to leave some new tracks in the snow while paying honor to his wonderful work.”

“Eventually, I felt comfortable enough to make my own interpretation, and part of that was lowering the tone of my voice,” Evans added. “I basically have to lower the register of my voice in everything that I do.”
