Conservative Hollywood actor Tim Allen is widely known for his role playing the iconic character of Buzz Lightyear in Disney’s Toy Story animation film.
With the upcoming release of ‘Lightyear,’ the left-wing company has gone in a much different direction by casting outspoken liberal actor Chris Evans.
The anti-Trump actor recently said parents who are upset over the film’s pro-gay agenda are “idiots” who will “die off like dinosaurs.”
Actress Patricia Heaton weighed in on the situation by slamming Disney for replacing Tim Allen with Chris Evans as the voice of Buzz Lightyear.
“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],” the Heaton said.
“Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns,” she added. “Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?”
She continued, “Ok, so the current Buzz Lightyear movie is an origin story – but the reason the character became so beloved is because of what [Tim Allen] created.”
“Why remove the one element that makes us want to see it? [stupidHollywooddecisions].”
Disney has recently faced criticism from parents after going “woke” and openly admitting to “adding queerness” inside its programming to influence children.
The company has publicly opposed the new law in Florida prohibiting teachers from instructing in the third grade or below on issues of sexual and gender identity without parental involvement.
Beginning with films like Toy Story and A Bug’s Life, Disney’s Pixar has created numerous animated films targeting children between the ages of one to ten years old.
“Lightyear,” based on the character from Toy Story, features a same-sex couple and same-sex scenes. In the animated movie, astronaut Buzz Lightyear is friends with a gay woman who is in a relationship with another woman.
“Lightyear” actor Chris Evans says anyone who has a problem with Disney’s pro-gay agenda is an idiot.
“The real truth is those people are idiots,” Evans said. “There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before.”
“But those people die off like dinosaurs,” the actor continued. “I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human.”
A leaked video of executive producer Latoya Raveneau as well as a statement by Disney Corporate President Karey Burke announced plans to add “many, many, many LGBTQ characters” to its shows and movies.
The company said 50% of its characters will either be minorities or LGBTQ by the end of the year.
Evans continued, “Every time there’s been social advancement as we wake up, the American story, the human story is one of constant social awakening and growth and that’s what makes us good.”
More on this story via Fox News:
The comment comes as some critics of the film have argued the decision to include LGBTQ representation and a scene with a gay married couple kissing in a film marketed to children was intentional.
The on-screen kiss takes place between Hawthorne, a female lead voiced by Uzo Aduba, and another female character.
It was reportedly removed from the film earlier this year, amid controversy over Disney’s quietness over Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill that barred conversations about LGBTQ identity in K-12 classrooms, Variety reported in March of this year, citing “a source close to the production.” The scene, however, was ultimately restored to the film.
“Lightyear” plays in some theaters on Thursday before a worldwide release Friday.
It will not be shown in the United Arab Emirates or Malaysia, due to the on-screen gay kiss.
The film “is not licensed for public screening in all cinemas in the UAE, due to its violation of the country’s media content standards,” the UAE Ministry of Youth and Culture Media Regulatory Office said in a tweet.
I’d rather die out like a Dinosaur than to go aganst
what God says is wrong.
I’m with you, Ms Heston!! Thank you for speaking up. I imagine it’s the sentiment of millions!
The stupidity at Disney is mind-boggling. Cow-towing to this FRINGE extreme minority is just insulting to the general population, who just want their kids to be kids (not to mention, just shitty business strategy). WHAT could POSSIBLY be a good reason to indoctrinate young children about sexuality, gender , etc.?? To make them more accepting and tolerant? Of WHAT, perversion of truth? Just keep pushing this agenda, and be warned: when it comes to our children, we will go to WAR to protect them. All you crazy-ass WOKE freaks won’t stand a chance against a parent’s instinct to PROTECT their child. Show up on my doorstep with your insane, woke ideology and it’ll be entertaining to see how FUCKING FAST YOU CAN RUN when you’re staring down the barrel of a 9mm semi with a full mag of hollow points. You think you have the media woketard lapdogs to do your bidding for you? Bring it, you gutless cowards.
Wow someone is a bit angry here!!
Chris Evans and Disney are both losers!
Disney was created by Walt as a place where families could go and enjoy entertainment without having to pick and choose what their children could and could not see……..it was designed for family entertainment!!! Walt must be turning over in his grave………Disney has abandoned the family for the minority…………..personally, I think they are making a big mistake!!!
Actually, Walt Disney was put in his place by the U.S. Government to do exactly what the company is doing under the guise of “wholesome family entertainment”.
All this is is filth perpetrated by deviants to bring in pedophelia to condition children to it. They should all be arrested and tried. There used to be a law against this kind of defilement toward children. Where are the parents???
This insane, do we need to cater to every group of people these days ? Disney plans to continue down this road . As they do more and more fans/customers they will continue to lose .
Bet little Christopher does not dare call UAE, Malaysia and China idiots and dinosaurs. He loves their money too much.
Disney will go the way of CNN and Brian Stelter. Stop the woke brainwashing of children!! This will be just like Batgirl. No one will watch it.
Uses to watch Wonderfull World of Disney growing up, so sad where they have gone,
I’ve probably seen every movie Disney has ever made.They will never see another dime of mine
With EVERY reason to be!
Thank you Patricia Heaton for standing up for all us normal people. In the Bible God said it is an abomination for men to sleep with men, and woman with woman. Might as well be in a relationship with an animal. God fills the same about that.
