Toy Story fans are speculating whether the voice actor for beloved Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear, Tim Allen, has been axed from the character's upcoming origin movie due to his conservative political views.

Comedian Allen, 68, provided the voice for Buzz Lightyear in all of the original Toy Story films alongside Tom Hanks in the role of Woody.

But he has been replaced in the upcoming 'Lightyear' movie by Captain America actor Chris Evans after voicing the character for nearly 30 years.

The move has prompted some fans to question whether Allen's removal was a politically motivated decision, based on Allen's support of the Republican party and conservative politics.

Allen has been quoted as saying he 'liked that Donald Trump pissed people off' and has previously referred to himself as 'politically, kind of an anarchist'.

Disney Pixar has not yet returned DailyMail.com's request for comment.

Allen's disappearance has sparked criticism of Disney Pixar for what some believe was a shallow, politically-motivated silencing of an instantly recognisable voice.

Author Brigitte Gabriel tweeted: 'Tim Allen is the only person capable of being Buzz Lightyear. Did Disney cancel him for being a Republican?'.

Other users said it was 'sad' that Allen had been 'canceled for wrong-think and hit out at Disney's 'woke' agenda.

It comes after comedian Allen had his sitcom 'Last Man Standing' canceled by network ABC in 2017 despite it being one of the most popular shows at the time.

Many speculated was down to Allen having simply refused to shy away from voicing his political stance.
