Summary: How cheap will Disney go??
Review: I am totally disappointed by this feature. I cant believe that after the excellent quality of Toy Stories and other Pixar movies, they come out with this 4-color cheap feature of Buzz Lightyear. I really dont understand what happened. When I got the tape and watched it the first time, I was wondering if it is a bootlegged copy, or was it made in china or what... I cant believe it, I cant believe also all the high ratings above!!...

Summary: Pixar's first cartoon
Review: Pixar did wonderful on their first cartoon animation film. Although, it wasn't a cartoon film until the toys putted the tape in. I saw this on Toon Disney. I don't own the movie on Video or DVD. But I am going to buy it and A Bug's Life on DVD soon or later. It was on the "To Infinity and Beyond, The Buzz Lightyear Marathon" when I saw the movie. You should see it. The begining episode of Buzz Lightyear of Starcommand. Now he has a TV Show based on that movie.

Summary: Not even near it's predecesors...
Review: I bought this dvd for my 20 month old son. He loves the Toy Story movies (He watches them an average of 3 times a day, I kid you not) and he is a big Buzz Lightyear fan. He seems to enjoy this little flick but not as much as the others. As a parent, I enjoy the Toy Story movies, but this one kept me empty. Something was missing. The jokes weren't there, and the story needed a little more developing. It feels much more like a 30 minute sunday morning cartoon than a movie of its own. Nevertheless it has its moments, and if my son likes it, its enough for me.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: If you expect this to be in any way related to the fabulous Toy Story movies, don't buy this. There is little plot, a lot of violence and NONE of the charm or wit of the originals. Don't waste your money or your time.

Summary: Don't Take This For Granted!
Review: This video is supposed to be an introduction to the new TV series of Buzz Lightyear that would soon be on TV, but this video stands on it's own just fine! While not as good as the "Toy Story" movies (What'd you expect?) this movie is fun, cute, and at times clever! A trend not used in pretty much...any direct-to-video sequals made by Disney! Remember "Lady & The Tramp II?" Forget it. This is NOT like that! This movie has a good plot, action, and great voice-overs by Tim Allen (Who IS Buzz) and Wayne Knight (Playing Zerg here)!However don't take this video for granted! If I had known what the TV show would be like I wouldn't have gotten my hopes up so high that Disney might actually make (After so many years of bad) cartoons again! That wasn't the case. Instead we're treated to this one good video and a lousy series that followed. Concidering the charicters were intresting in this movie and not in the series makes me wonder what happened? Is it really that hard to write some decent scripts? Anyway I totaly recomend this movie! It may be the last time Tim Allen plays the role he was ment to play in a cartoon: Buzz Lightyear!

Summary: The movie that HAD to be made!!!
Review: This DVD is a MUST for any fans of Toy Story, especially those who like Buzz more than Woody. Hey, it IS a hard choice, and maybe the country is split 50/50, but I think I'm in the Buzz Lightyear half. Though like I said, it's a tough choice. Anyways, I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is clear that it is merely a TV series pilot. What I mean is, most of this film is about introducing the characters you'll see on the show, setting up the situation for this upcoming situation comedy and all that. Now the show is out there, heck, it might even be off already, I'll have to check one of these Saturday mornings, but I watched it when I could, got several episodes on tape, and it was hilarious! On this DVD Tim Allen once again plays the voice of Buzz, but on the actual series the role was taken over by Patrick Warburton (The Tick, Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove, and Putty from Seinfeld). At first this bothered me, but eventually I grew to prefer his version of Buzz to Tim Allen's! Anyway, this is not important since the DVD uses Allen, so back to the DVD. As I said, it's about introducing the characters, but there IS a story involved. Here we get to see what Buzz is really all about. We get to see Evil Emperor Zurg, what it means to be a Space Ranger, and so on and so forth. It's all GREAT to a real Toy Story fan, but keep in mind that this is not Toy Story, it's not computer animation and the Toy Story gang only appear at the beginning to "introduce" the movie, or rather, to put it in their VCR and start watching it. The charcters here are Buzz, the huge, childlike Booster, XR the fast talking robot (who is the funniest character on the show), and the lovely Mira Nova. All the characters together do remind you a bit of the cast of Seinfeld, and some of them A LOT, especially Mira Nova. The story on this pilot episode is a bit less interesting than the show, and less funny, but it's still a must have and very entertaining. The DVD has some nice extras, including some cool games. I only hope more of this great show is released on DVD. Preferably all of it, though they rarely do that with American animation. I'd at least like to see more of these pilot episodes released, like the outstanding Duck Tales pilot, and the pilots for Tale Spin and Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Bonkers, Goof Troop, etc...All these great Disney animated TV shows need to get DVD releases.

Summary: How can your so callled late partner be aginst you Buzz?
Review: I think this is the first movie, that I have seen wiht the box and the tape of it right in the movie. And that is the only time we see the other toy story people like Woody and Rex (you know other than Buzz). Patrick Warburton who played Kronk in The Emperor's New Groove is in this as a voice of one of the green alien toys. And Buzz has to go to battle against his foe (who we should know by now Emempor Zurg voiced by Wayne Knight). Who was Stan Pollack in Space Jam. Buzz Lightyear is once again voiced by Tim Allen (which I'm sure that all what he wants to do now, be the voice of Buzz Lightyear).

Summary: Good movie, Bad price.
Review: This is actually a pretty good movie. It's no Toy Story, but it stands on its own well. You get a brief appearance from the "Toys" in the beginning, but from there, it's all Buzz. My son loves the movie and requests it quite often, however, I will admit, it's more a "boys" movie than a family type movie. Our daughter isn't too crazy about it. It's full of action and has a great storyline. The special features are kind of lame, and that's why I rate it a 3. The price is much too high for what you get. Drop it down to $14.95 and I give it a 5.

Summary: Pretty much a cartoon.
Review: I recommend this over a direct to video sequel any day. It's alright for a cartoon short. Pretty imaginative if not original. Much more inspiring than the "Little Mermaid 2 Return to the Sea" or "Return of Jafar"! It should have been marketed as an introductory special of the TV series rather than a movie!
