Captain Buzz Lightyear

I have made no secret of loving Disney, not only their movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and The Lion King, but also their shows like Darkwing Duck, DuckTales and Talespin. Buzz LightYear of Star Command is a worthy series and this is coming from a fan of the two Pixar films, not the best show from Disney but infinitely better than the rubbish on the Disney channel now. The animation is good quality especially the galactic backgrounds, and the music is pleasant. The story lines and dialogues are intriguing and amusing, and the characters particularly beautiful and feisty Mira and villainous yet fun Zurg are great. The voice acting is well done, Patrick Warburton started off a little shaky, and while Tim Allen captured the character better, Warburton does a decent enough job. Zurg is brilliantly voiced by Wayne Knight though, and Warp has his great moments as well. Overall, worth watching and a worthy series, not the best out there, but an improvement on any of the shows airing now. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Honestly, Patrick Warburton not only voices Buzz better than Tim Allen, he voices him waaay better.

Now, don't get me wrong. I loved Toy Story and Toy Story 2. But when it comes to the cartoon series, Warburton manages to keep Buzz a tough, good-cop character and still make him (amusingly enough) more three dimensional than Allen did. Instead of the too-good-to-be-true toy that happens to be on Woody's bad side to start, you have a guy with flaws, who doesn't necessarily always have an answer, or even a clue. Add in the genuinely good comedy (especially for a Disney series), along with the rest of the voice actors, and you've got something terrific here.

If you judge the cartoon version of Buzz and the Toy Story version against each other, you've got the wrong idea to start. Try looking at them as seperate characters. You'll likely find that not only do you like Warburton's version, you love him.

As for Nicole Sullivan, voicing Mira, she provides Buzz his perfect counter-balance. A tough, intelligent, witty female who isn't afraid to knock the edge off of his arrogance, but who still is willing to face danger abound to protect him. Now that's one well-done character.

XR's... perfect. If you've seen MST3K, think of a mix between Tom and Crow. Him alone is good reason to watch. And speaking of MST3K, Booster's about the perfect mix between Mike Nelson and TVs Frank... gullible, somewhat neurotic, mildly clingy farmboy.

Watch it. It's worth it.

I watched this with my little brother when I was in high school. The show came on Saturday mornings and entertained us. I still sing the theme music. As a huge Disney/Pixar fan, I love Toy Story. The concept behind this show was cool because you get to watch what Andy watched and learned to love Buzz Lightyear from. The characters are memorable (which is the most important part of any production to me). The plots are a little weird but still okay. The show succeeded enough to hold my brother's attention and mine as well. But like I said, the theme music with the announcer's voice at the beginning is second to none in an opener for a kid's show.

With one or two exceptions, animated shows from Disney really suck. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command IS one of those exceptions. The series is entertaining and funny. It has some of the charm of Toy Story. Best of all, this show doesn't try to install some sappy moral like Disney's Doug or Pepper Ann. I highly recommend Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was the logical evolution for the series which started off as a computer-generated motion picture. This series follows the adventures of the real Buzz Lightyear (the tv series cartoon hero from the tv series within the movie that the Buzz toy from the movie was based on in the movie.) It sounds complicated but it's not. "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" follows Buzz and his team of space rangers as they right the evil emperor Zurg and other baddies in their universe. The series is delightful and very funny. I find it rare to laugh-out-loud at an animated show, especially when there's no one to help fuel the laughter, but this show strikes a funny nerve.

To conclude, this is a worthwhile so you should definitely check it out. I highly recommend it.
