Allen's Buzz voice is iconic for many fans around the world, but he also played the character in a more over-the-top and funny manner. MacLane evidently holds Allen's original voice performance in high regard, but it's clear that he's trying to create something different with Lightyear, separating the new version of Buzz from the version of the character in the original Toy Story films.

MacLane says that, while Allen is ' hilarious,' his iconic Space Ranger voice wouldn't work for the tone of the movie, which was designed to feel like more of a classic sci-fi adventure. In a new interview as part of Lightyear's LA Press Day (via Emea Tribune), MacLane reveals why the new movie ultimately wouldn't work with Allen doing the voice for Buzz.

In addition to Evans, Lightyear features voice performances from Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, Taika Waititi, Dale Soules, James Brolin, and Uzo Aduba, among others. Lightyear's sports the toy's signature wrist communicator and Evans' voice performance does harken back to Allen's original voice work in Toy Story.

Trailers for Lightyear have revealed that, although the story is fresh and new, there will be callbacks to Buzz as he existed in the original Toy Story films.
