A WHOLE generation of children grew up on the Toy Story series ‒ but what happened to the cast who voiced the iconic inhabitants of Andy’s room? Disney Pixar’s Lightyear was released this weeks, providing eager fans with an origin story for the plucky astronaut the Buzz Lightyear action figure was inspired by.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaDisney and Pixar’s “Lightyear” blasted off with a respectable $5.2 million in Thursday previews.The film, a spinoff of the “Toy Story” franchise, looks at the fictional astronaut character who was in a movie the inspired the Buzz Lightyear action figure who enchanted Andy and who later became BFFs with Woody (got that?). But this Buzz Lightyear, much to Patricia Heaton’s rather evocative dismay, is voiced not by Tim Allen, whose dulcet pipes graced all four “Toy Story” flicks, but by the Star Command-ing cadences of one Chris Evans.“Lightyear” is expected to launch to between $70 million to $80 million and will screen in 4,200 North American theaters. That should be a big enough number to secure first place at the box office, as well as all the attendant bragging rights that come with that perch.

Chris Evans was "very" humbled when he played Buzz Lightyear in the Disney film "Lightyear," which hits theaters on Friday. The "Captain America" star was a guest on "Good Morning America" on Thursday and discussed voicing the character from the "Toy Story" franchise, which originally was voiced by Tim Allen.  "My younger version would have just been pinching himself," he said. Evans shared that he has been a huge fan of Disney and Pixar animations since he was a child.

Buzz Lightyear origin story from Pixar Animation Studios and Disney releases in cinemas this Friday. The movie, which is a spin-off from the studio’s legendary Toy Story film series, will show Buzz as the astronaut the toy is based on, who winds up stranded many lightyears from Earth and on a desperate mission to return home.

Disney Pixar’s Lightyear was banned from certain countries over depictions of a same-sex relationship.The animated movie has found itself become a controversial topic in several Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, over a kissing scene.Hollywood hunk Chris - who voices Buzz Lightyear in the movie - branded the powers behind the countries "idiots" as he admitted feeling there will always be people who are "afraid" to move forward in life.Speaking to Reuters he said: "The real truth is those people are idiots."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.""There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before."Chris, 41, then explained that he feels the best stance is to ignore the opinions of anyone who is still shunning inclusivity.He continued: "I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human."It’s tough to not be a little frustrated that it even has to be a topic of discussion.

Patricia Heaton spoke out against Disney and stood up for her longtime friend Tim Allen after seeing the new trailer for the upcoming "Toy Story" spinoff based on the Buzz Lightyear character, aptly titled "Lightyear."  The "Everybody Loves Raymond" star took to Twitter to decry the new movie: "Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen." She added: "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?" Allen, 69, has voiced the astronaut doll character since 1995, and reprised the role for "Toy Story 2," "Toy Story 3," and "Toy Story 4" in addition to a host of other projects. Chris Evans stars as the new Buzz Lightyear in the upcoming film.
