SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

GazerRise Fantastic!

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com After the success of Toy Story (1995) and Toy Story 2 (1999), Disney and Pixar studios thought it would be profitable for them to make a spin-off of one of the main characters, specifically Buzz Lightyear. Yes, having a Woody spin-off would have been interesting but honestly, I'm not quite sure any child would be interested a "western setting" TV show. Science fiction and futuristic worlds is what the majority people love now because it's a boundless area for exploration.The story of this movie is about Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen (from the Toy Story franchise), which enters the screen like any other space ranger would; confronting evil. There's really no need to go into plot for this review because it is very simplistic and understandable. And although this video is made mainly for the kids, young to old adults should be able to enjoy this film as well without having to shake their heads all that much.Along with Tim Allen is Nicole Sullivan (Mira Nova), Larry Miller (XR), Stephen Furst (Booster) and Wayne Knight as the Evil Emperor Zurg. All of these actors give commendable performances as their characters. My two favorite characters were XR and Emperor Zurg. Larry Miller gives XR a great sense of humor and a lot of sarcasm to the table. As for Zurg, Wayne Knight just knows how to make Zurg sound evil but only on the surface and not too dark. Even Zurg has some comedic moments that are fun to watch. "Nanna Zurg"? Cute Zurg, real cute.The animation, although I would not say totally looks professional, it at least looks good on the TV screen. From what I saw, there were only a few real visible continuity issues but overall the film was fairly persistent on sticking to what it output. There were even a couple of Easter eggs, for example, a small time on screen the viewer may see a magic lamp...cough cough Aladdin (1992) or...a giant three pronged claw that latches onto a mystical orb that belongs to the little green men...cough cough Toy Story (1995). It's all in there, it just needs to be looked at with a keen eye. Action sequences are well animated too. The colors mesh well with the surroundings that they belong to and what they represent. Adam Berry is the composer to this film and I must say that he did a great job creating a main theme for our beloved Pixar character. The tune is catchy and also entertaining. I am still disappointed that the studio didn't make a Woody spin-off. I still think that would've been cool. Oh well. This film led up to a great TV series so that's a plus.Having a spin-off of one of Pixar's most memorable characters was an excellent decision on Disney's part. The whole video is a blast.

emasterslake Everyone knows Buzz Lightyear, an action figure with it's own merchandise.Till Buzz gets his own Cartoon series. In the beginning you get to see the Toys from Toy Story watching the new video of the Buzz Lightyear movie.The movie is featured in 2-D animation. While the toys were in 3-D animation like in Toy Story. The movie has not the action figure Buzz but a Buzz Lightyear who is Human and part of star Command.He is on a mission to prevent Emperor Zurg(from Toy Story 2) from using the powers of this core thing from the LGM(Little Green Men) planet.He teams up with 3 different characters who wanted to be his partner.The animation is very well done, and the story is original with some jokes and action.If you're obsess with Buzz Lightyear then you might like this movie.

akbrown I have to say I was delightfully surprised with the new Buzz Lightyear video. Not only is there enough action and quirky stunts to keep the kids entertained, but the writers took pity on parents as well by throwing in a LOT of inside jokes and great taglines for us to enjoy as well! The new characters are fun (Larry Miller as XR is just a riot) and we get to see a terrific cast of gifted voice talent having a blast with their characters.The violence factor is minimal cartoon violence - more campy than anything else. One of the biggest surprises is to hear Patrick Warburton doing the voice of the Little Green Men - as well as the hilarious cameo by William Shatner "singing" the Space Ranger anthem!! That in itself is worth a viewing. Overall, I have to say this is well worth at LEAST a rental, if not a purchase, particularly if you have young ones in the house who love Buzz to infinity and beyond!

jdimstr31 Disney has had a win some/lose some track record with its' direct to video animated features. From the triumphant Lion King 2, to the abyssmal Pocahontas 2. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is another winner. The movie begins with a computer animated segment featuring Buzz, Woody, and all the other toys of Andy's room, preparing to sit down to watch the new Buzz Lightyear movie. It's a really cute intro featuring Tim Allen as Buzz, and Jim Hanks (doing his best impersonation of his brother Tom) as Woody. Wallace Shawn is hilarious, once again, as Rex the dinosaur, who can't contain his excitement over the new Buzz video. As the toys sit down in front of the tv to watch the movie, we zoom into the tv and the feature begins proper. While it might disappoint some that the rest of the movie is done with traditional animation, to me it seems only fitting. After all, the computer animated Toy Story world is all about toys. This movie is about the adventures of Buzz Lightyear, the character that the toy in Toy Story is based on. This movie is supposed to be the same thing the kids in the Toy Story world watch. The film is about Buzz trying to stop the Evil Emperor Zurg from destroying the universe. Zurg steals the LGM's (Little Green Men) Uni-Mind, the device that keeps them mentally linked as one. Zurg intends to use it to spread his evil all over the universe. When Buzz's partner is killed by Zurg, Buzz vows to work alone. But Star Command has other ideas. Through the course of the story, Buzz actually ends up with 3 new partners. Princess Mira Nova, a janitor with dreams of being a Space Ranger named Booster, and a robot called XR (experimental ranger). Booster and XR are a classic comic relief team in the spirit of Timon and Puumba from Lion King. It's an exciting story filled with action, betrayl, heroic rescues, humor, and Tim Allen at his scene chewing best. It's perfect for all families, and trust me, kids will LOVE it! I bought the movie for my 3 year old son, and 1 year old daughter. They were mezmerized. For that matter, so was I. 9 out of 10!!!!!
