A few weeks ago it hit theaters Lightyearthe spin-off of toy story. Pixar’s new animated film is based on the figure of Buzz Lightyear, the astronaut who inspired the action figure we met in the 90s animated blockbuster.
In the Toy Story moviesthe charismatic astronaut who immortalized the phrase “to infinity and beyond”, featured the voice of Tim Allen in the 1995 animated film. However, for its new staging, the studio opted for Chris Evansthe actor behind the character of Captain America from Marvel, to put on the voice of the astronaut. Although this strategy was aimed at differentiating both characters, the decision ended up still causing biggest stir among fans.
Since its arrival in cinemas Lightyear It has not been without controversy. Adding to the disappointment over Allen’s absence was controversy over the inclusion of a kiss between two characters of the same sex. This combination of elements not only generated the fury of a good number of fans, but also a low critical acclaim and poor box office performance.
But Allen’s absence was not taken lightly. One of the last to break the silence around this controversy was Tom Hanks, who voiced Woody in the Toy Story movies. Like many people, the two-time Oscar winner feel confused and can’t understand how Evans ended up playing Buzz instead of Allen.
“What about that? I actually wanted to go toe-to-toe with Tim Allen and then they wouldn’t let Allen do it. I don’t get that…here’s the thing: I want to go back to the movies with a bunch of strangers and come out with something on common. That’s what I want to do and go see a movie with Allen, I’m looking forward to it, “said Hanks in relation to the criticisms that were presented around the film.
For his part, his own Allen also broke the silence days ago and said that “the film is a prequel to Toy Story, Woody is not in it so there is no Buzz without him. He has no connection to the toy.” He also added that this is a different team than the one in Toy Story so it has nothing to do with the first films.
Another who had also expressed himself in this regard was Patricia Heatoncompanion of the actor from his days in the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. The actress was not at all happy with the studio’s decision and she questioned Allen’s non-presence in the film.
Although the reaction of hanks It’s not angry, yes you can appreciate a certain unhappy about the direction Disney and Pixar took in his new animated staging. At the same time, he makes it clear that one of the positive aspects that he highlights is the possibility of people returning to movie theaters.
