That (profitability), more than anything else, is why Chris Evans voices Buzz in Lightyear, no matter what the far-right wants you to believe. And so first and foremost, we just needed a different person playing that Lightyear, separate from the toy.” Also, Chris Evans is a bigger, more profitable star than Tim Allen, and Disney isn’t one to turn down making an extra buck ( or $70 million). It’s because, as Lightyear producer Galyn Susman explained, “Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyear the toy. For instance in the Back to the Future animated series, Doc Brown and Marty are voiced by Dan Castellaneta and David Kaufman (although Christopher Lloyd did appear in the live-action segments).īut Lightyear isn’t the cheaply made Ace Ventura: Pet Detective show - so why isn’t Allen the voice of Buzz? It has nothing to do with Buzz being “castrated,” whatever that means.
It’s also a common occurrence for professional voice actors to take over for movie stars freelancing as voice actors in TV adaptations of hit movies. He would be replaced by Pat Fraley for the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command animated show, and again by Chris Evans for Lightyear, “the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on,” as the Marvel star confusingly put it.Īllen didn’t voice Buzz in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (which really needs to be on Disney+) because he didn’t need to: he has enough money from Home Improvement alone, let alone the Toy Story quadrilogy, Last Man Standing, and his comedy career.
Tim Allen voiced Buzz Lightyear in all four Toy Story movies, as well as multiple Toy Story specials and the direct-to-video film Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.
