Summary: Wonderful Movie
Review: Although this was an all Buzz movie, and not much Toy Story at all. (Except the beguining) I thought it was an enchanting movie with great dialog. Anyone who could turn away at this movie in disquist and say it was crappy should be crazy! Okay, okay. I may be 13, but I know a good movie/cartoon show when I see one! You see new characters, some old favorites, and a great movie! I didn't even bother to rent it, I just bought it! And it was worth it! If you like sci-fi movies, this is for you! And lets all hope the new T.V. show is just as good as the movie!

Summary: Funny, good laughs, poor quality.
Review: Basically its a cartoon. NOT a Toy Story. Plain cartoon animation and disappointing effects. But the story is funny and the jokes are great at times, especially the subtle ones that click in your head a few minutes later. Much of the humor flew over the heads of my 1 and 3 year olds, but the adults in the room were smiling. The extra features were extremely lame on the DVD, don't even bother to play them. My 3 yr old son will probably make me watch it with him too many times, but he liked it and I'll suffer through.

Summary: Toy Story in hand-drawn animation format! I don't think so!
Review: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins comes at a time when Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are due on DVD from October and is available in a 2 DVD set or a 3 DVD set which is bound to make Disney and Pixar have dollar signs flash in their eyes at the thought. What makes no sense is this incredibly poor direct-to-video idea which cashes in on the convenient idea that Buzz was once a cartoon hero himself. What most people buying this title will not realise unless they've seen Disney's tacky trailers is that unlike the sooper dooper computer animation we associate with Toy Story, this is traditional hand-drawn animation. It's plain old animation in its most primitive sense. Toy Story's appeal was the 3d animation making the whole thing so realistic and freshly removed from traditional animation format. Buzz does not convert well into hand-drawn animation and he's lost Woody - something that made Toy Story quite amusing. So what are we left with? Shallow space adventures ala Transformers or Buckey O'Hare - indeed with a high Disney gloss, but none of the formula which made such an addictive potion of entertainment that was Toy Story 2! I love Disney and Toy Story, but I really frown at this step backwards in Toy Story features.

Summary: What A Cartoon
Review: Buzz Lightyear, the plastic spaceman who helped conquer the toybox in the wildly popular Toy Story films, returns in this animated adventure. Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) and his partner Agent Z (voice of Diedrich Bader) have devoted themselves to keeping Gamma Quadrant in Deep Space free of evildoers, but when Agent Z is lost in battle, Buzz is determined that from now on, he has to go it alone. However, after the evil Emperor Zurg (voice of Wayne Knight) kidnaps Buzz's allies the LGM - aka Little Green Men (voice of Patrick Warburton) - Commander Nebula (voice of Adam Carolla) orders Buzz to bring along reinforcements as he flies into battle. With the help of female Space Ranger Mira Nova (voice of Nicole Sullivan), LGM designed android XR (voice of Larry Miller), and janitor/aspiring Space Ranger Booster (voice of Stephen Furst), Buzz sets out to defeat Zurg's minions and bring back the LGM safe and sound. Unlike the first two Toy Story features, Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command: The Adventure Begins was created using traditional cel animation rather than digital computer animation techniques, though computer animation was used for the film's prologue. The film's theme song is sung by another noted space voyager, William Shatner.

Summary: Got what I expected!
Review: By looking at the cover and seeing commercials advertising this movie I knew not to expect a whole lot. Obviously this is not the Toy Story quality animation we are used to seeing, nor deserving of any Oscar nominations. What do you exect from a straight-to-video movie? I rented this movie because my son loved the first two Toy Story movies. He expected Buzz Lightyear and that is what he received. I bought this movie based on his reaction. This movie is definitely aimed towards kids, as it is the version that Andy would watch to become a Buzz Lightyear fan. As I said, don't expect to much and you won't be disappointed. Keep in mind that is direct to video and its meant to keep the kids occupied not the adult.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: First, be alerted this is nowhere near the quality of animation or storytelling you would expect after seeing Toy Story 1 and 2. The animation & story are very poor. We (my husband, me & 5 year old) were so disappointed with this video we didn't even finish watching it. I expect more from Disney, even if this was a direct-to-video; I think most people do. Don't waste your time with this one--it seems to be little more than a "commercial" for the future Buzz Lightyear cartoon series which I read will be on TV this fall season. I give it one star only because I couldn't get the rating field (above) to accept zero!

Summary: Buzz Lightyear: To SOMETHING and Beyond
Review: For those of you who didn't see my other review of this, scroll down to the part where I start talking about the bad parts. Yiu deserve to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth first. Come read this later. And now, for those of you who HAVE seen my other review, continue. First, I must say--this wasn't great, this wasn't horrid either. It is better than Pokemon junk, which I avoid. Mira Nova was nice, and now that I have second thoughts, I like Booster, too. He shows kids that dreams aren't wrong, but critical to a happy life. We all have to have goals and longings, and Booster is a perfect example of that. *Now onto the bad parts. "Toy Story" fans will be utterly disappointed. As said before, this is no computer-animated classic; heck, if it was, it'd get five stars on my scale. The only part Pixar did anything on was the charming opening scene, in which the toys put the tape in the VCR and start watching it. Other than that, this shouldn't even carry the name "Pixar". This is more of the crud that the TV-annamation team has thrown out on the market as horrid sequels to the stuff we love. And this is WAAAY TO VIOLENT FOR YOUNG KIDS! Sure, this will charm you if you drool all over Saturday morning cartoons (as "Buzz Lightyear" has become on ABC), but this isn't wholesome family entertainment I'd expect from Disney. This is--something. To sum it up, this is okay--nothing more than that. Booster and Mira Nova are the charmers, not Buzz. But I wouldn't mind having it in my collection just for the heck of it. I can watch it occasionally and see the good parts stand out, the values Booster and Mira (who is very independent) teach to kids. But this is SURELY NOT a Disney classic. Go dust off "Toy Story" or "A Bug's Life" and watch that. Better yet, use your money on "Toy Story 2", which is one of the best animated features I've seen recently. But do acknowlege this movie, which accomplished SOMETHING--whatever in this wide wide world that something may be.
