Summary: Bringing back classic cartoon style.
Review: Remember the classic action cartoons G.I. Joe and Transformers. They were great and there isn't a really good action cartoon out right now, sure there is the Dragonball Z, Pokemon, and Digimon. But you need something a kid can watch and understand, and not be told to buy 150 of every single item that gets made for the show. This buzz movie just like GI Joe and Transformers has all the action though it is not as good and a little tamer but it is still there, think of it as a less violet version. This is a great action space adveture, kids should love it and adults should enjoy the humor. Also just so you know this is not the buzz from the movie and it is not ment to be, this is the show that the Buzz in the movie was basing his life on before he found out he was a toy of the cartoon Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger. Plus this movie will be a show soon and I can't wait to see it.

Summary: Booooo! Buzz!
Review: My son and I were shocked at incredibly bad this movie was! HE was so excited to get this video and it was such a let down. The plot is hard to follow and there was nothing loveable about any of the chacters including buzz.

Summary: Different from Toy Story, but still entertaining
Review: For those viewers who are expecting this cartoon to resemble the brilliant computer animation of the "Toy Story" movies, you will be disappointed, save for a short opening intro segment. This is a cartoon (which anyone who didn't think it would be a hand-drawn cartoon obviously didn't look at the back of the VHS or DVD boxart)... more along the lines of a Saturday morning program. But while it will entertain the kiddies, there are also a few gags thrown in for the adults -- nothing offensive of course, but stuff kids may not understand that the adults will appreciate. And the end title song which is sung by William Shatner is just too much -- has that guy lost his mind? I was laughing all the way. Overall, a good cartoon and a worthy Disney purchase.

Summary: Way too Violent
Review: We turned the movie off after about 10 minutes of non-stop shooting, fighting and other violence. My 3 year old boy was scared and wanted it off. My 4 year old boy liked it a little but we had to explain to him that shooting and hitting were wrong and that this movie was for older kids.Disney (who seems to love violence in their films...e.g. Mulan) should have had a big fat warning on this DVD that it was not for young children or for parents that want to keep their children from being de-sensitized to violence. Parents who show children this film then wonder why the kids beat each other over the head afterwards should get a clue. Keep your money and wait for TS2 on DVD in October.

Summary: "Buzz Lightyear" is Disney's worst direct-to-video yet....
Review: The world first met Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) in 1995 staring in "Toy Story" as a confused toy who thought he was a space ranger. We were reunited with him and his cowboy friend Woody (Tom Hanks) in 1999's smash-hit "Toy Story 2". And now--in his very own direct-to-video movie--Buzz Lightyear is far from good. In "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins", we are caught up with space hero after Andy's toys from "Toy Story" insert the video into the VCR. This Pixar short is very well done, and is the most enjoyable part of the film (explaining the first star). After it, we are plunged into the world of Star Command and the evil Emprorer Zurg. Sadly, this is all too plain--no Pixar involvement here. The movie lacks good visual effects because of this, and it is the most bitter disappointment. What happened to the billrant visuials that brought ADULTS flocking into "Toy Story" and "A Bug's Life"? STRIKE ONE! The plot here, too, is very stupid, and does not encourage thinking. Zurg steals the Unimind from the Little Green Men's home plannet, and tips Star Command's balanced working system. After doing this, he uses the Unimined (now turned from good to evil) to control every plannet in the galaxy. This plot is not only stupid, but is recycled, and has been used countless times before. STRIKE TWO! To make things even worse, if that's possible, is the fact that Buzz's personality has been changed entirely. What happened to the gentel Buzz from "Toy Story"? Now, all he is is some idiled superhero who fights evil with ZAP! and WHAM! This isn't the Buzz I knew. STRIKE THREE! The only good thing here is that ONE new character has heart--Princess Nova, who (I think) echos Jessie the Cowgirl's (from "Toy Story 2)personality and viewpoints and walks in her footsteps. (I gave the film the second star because of this.) And the worst news is that this is going to be continued in a TV series. (I was tempted to say "a continuing effort", but there is no effort shown here.) In ending, this is NOT a good film, not even as a rental. Don't waste your time. "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins" DOES NOT GO "TO INFINIDY AND BEYOND!" like "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" do. Spend your money on one of those, a collection of Pixar short films, or "A Bug's Life"--please. You'll be getting more for your money that way. (NOT RECCOMENDED.)

Summary: My son finally took the Star Wars EP1 Tape out of the VCR!
Review: When I first heard that the new Buzz Lightyear movie was going to be done with traditional animation I was disapointed. After watching the DVD a couple of times through (and parts of it about 10 times), I am pleased with the decision. The initial setup with the whole Toy Story crew watching a tape of Buzz makes the traditional animation a great concept. After all, we are getting a glimse of why Buzz is an action hero - it makes sense to have the tradition animation. Besides that, the animation itself is excellent. The colors are vivid and very well thought out and the characters are charming and fit into the universe. There is even some good use of the soundfield, giving the surround speakers and sub on my 5.1 system a little exercise. All in all, I think this is an excellent addition to the Toy Story universe and my DVD collection. I can't wait until October to see what the Ultimate Toy Box ends up to be!

Summary: Horrible, just Horrible!
Review: This is a horrible film which I have had the time to waste recently watching it. The plot's so cheap and the animation is poor. Jokes are funny but content is so poor. This seems to be the last scraping of the Toy Story barrel! PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY! This is 0% Disney. Worst effort for ages - even Pocahontas II is better! Agggh! Makes me ill just thinking about this DVD. My cat's been ill since watching it too! AVOID like you would a child with chicken pox!

Summary: A Follow up That does not live up to the original
Review: Though it is a Toy Story spin-off (which earns a few points ni my book) this movies does not live up to the originals. For one fact it is not computer animated , one of the big perks of the original, and second the cute personalities that were in the originals. It's ok but I like the originals much much better

Summary: All about Buzz
Review: If your child loves Buzz Light Year, then this is the tape for you. This movie lived up to my expectations and more.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Review: This movie was a disappointment from the moment my children and I started watching it. Except for the name of the character, it has no resemblance to the Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story. The graphics are regular cartoon style graphics, not the style of Toy Story. Save your money.
