Patricia Heaton has recently showed her anger towards Disney to cast ‘Captain America’ Star Chris Evans instead of Tim Allen. She said that this move made by Disney has castrated the character of Buzz Lightyear.
Everybody Loves Raymond Actress said ‘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 in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?’

In another tweet she also calls it a stupid decision
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
The 64 year old actress comment has made controversy in no time. Some of them believe what she said is true and some are trolling her for pointing out Chris Evans for no reason on twitter .
Buzz lightyear director Angus Maclane in an interview with Vanity Fair told that “Tim’s version of Buzz is a little goofier and is a little dumber, and so he is the comic relief. In this film, Buzz is the action hero. He’s serious and ambitious and funny, but not in a goofy way that would undercut the drama.”
He went on saying He went on, “Chris Evans has the gravitas and that movie-star quality that our character needed to separate him and the movie from Tim’s version of the toy in ‘Toy Story’.”
Light Year has stirred a lot of controversy lately to making it getting banned in 14 countries worldwide
It is all set to release on 17th June, 2022. Let see whether it will be loved by the audience or not.
