<p>&#8220;Fox &amp; Friends Weekend&#8221; host Rachel Campos-Duffy and her husband Sean Duffy, a former Republican congressman, blasted Disney last week for replacing actor Tim Allen for Chris Evans to voice &#8220;Toy Story&#8221; character Buzz Lightyear in the spinoff &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gay-kiss-included-woke-toy-story-spinoff-lightyear-struggles-at-box-office">Lightyear</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>While executives for the film <a href="https://consequence.net/2022/06/tim-allen-chris-evans-buzz-lightyear-movie/">claim</a> they replaced Allen, an open Republican, because the Buzz character in spinoff &#8220;Lightyear&#8221; is different than the toy voiced by Allen, the couple said the real reason was over the actor&#8217;s politics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why would they change the voice? Kids wanna hear the same voice in the toy that they heard in the movie,&#8221; Duffy <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1569199125">said</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s how dumb this is, they&#8217;re trying to come up with an excuse as for why they&#8217;re canceling Tim Allen,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They couldn&#8217;t let the reason be he&#8217;s a Republican, they had to create some other reason as for why they were kicking him out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Campos Duffy said no one online believes Disney, anyway. &#8220;Everyone knows that Tim Allen was basically canceled,&#8221; she said.</p>

<p>The couple noted that openly-pro-life actress Patricia Heaton slammed Disney last month for the replacement, too, asking why the corporation would “completely castrate this iconic, beloved character.&#8221;</p>
<p>“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],” Heaton said on <a href="https://twitter.com/PatriciaHeaton/status/1536737444804034561?s=20&amp;t=gt5X9XXQA3a7eQFFC8kaHg">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actress-slams-disney-for-replacing-tim-allen-with-chris-evans-in-lightyear-asks-why-they-would-completely-castrate-this-iconic-character">The Daily Wire</a> reported. “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?”</p>
<p>Promoting &#8220;Lightyear,&#8221; producer Galyn Susman said Allen was replaced because the Buzz character in the new film is &#8220;separate from the toy.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyear the toy,” Susman said, <a href="https://consequence.net/2022/06/tim-allen-chris-evans-buzz-lightyear-movie/">according</a> to Consequence Film. “We weren’t making a <i>Toy Story</i> movie. We’re making Buzz Lightyear’s movie. And so first and foremost, we just needed a different person playing that Lightyear, separate from the toy.”</p>
<p>Director Angus MacLane added that Buzz in &#8220;Lightyear&#8221; is “a little more well-rounded. Technically he’s a bit smarter because he’s not comic relief,&#8221; he <a href="https://consequence.net/2022/06/tim-allen-chris-evans-buzz-lightyear-movie/">said</a>. &#8220;He has to be funny, but not too goofy. And that’s why we went with Chris.”</p>
<p>The report noted that &#8220;The Santa Clause,&#8221; starring Allen, will reportedly be <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/santa-clause-series-tim-allen-disney-plus-1235154498/">returning</a> to Disney Plus for a limited series.</p>
<p>“Lightyear,&#8221; which includes a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idiots-actor-chris-evans-slams-critics-who-dont-want-gay-kiss-in-toy-story-spinoff">gay kiss</a> between two female characters, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gay-kiss-included-woke-toy-story-spinoff-lightyear-struggles-at-box-office">struggled</a> at the box office.</p>
