I really like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It has everything to be a good kids' show, and even more to it that works for an older audience, too. It is fun, has action, likable characters and good story lines. Most of all I appreciate the voice work done by Patrick Warburton. I know it is a divisive topic, but I felt his role as Buzz Lightyear was engaging and fun. The characters and the comedy are the best parts of this show. The gang of space rangers the show circles around are great. We have the strong and feisty female named Mira who is a princess, but hates to be referred to as such. We have this eager and enthusiastic creature of some sort called Booster who was a former janitor at Star Command. And last but not least we have the Experimental Ranger mainly shortened to XR who was made by the little green men at Star Command. He has many great one-liners and serves as the main comic relief.Wayne Knight as the Evil Emperor Zurg is also a hilarious comedic villain. When he and Buzz meet you are guaranteed many good laughs. I think this is exactly what many kids wanted after the success of both Toy Story and Toy Story 2. I am 23 years old and I can say with my utmost certainty that it is exactly what I wanted.

I waited until i was 28 episodes in before I gave a review. I'm pleasantly surprised that after all that time I'm still having a good time watching this show. Not every episode is solid gold, but none of them are stinkers, and the core cast is great. A galactic A-Team vs Zurg and his many mercenary henchmen. Buzz is a delight as the do the right thing, self sacrificing, and very capable good cop leader. His co-pilot, Mira Nova, who is just barely out of rookie status provides his best counter-balance. She is a well rounded character. XR or Experimental Ranger is a comedic R2-D2 meets Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. And there is the large, but lovable Booster, the most inexperience member of the team. The plots are standard fare but so well executed, with clever dialog, that'll you easily forget that. Besides, Buzz Lightyear is light-hearted. It is more comedy than anything, but that isn't a negative. It is truly a fun and enjoyable show.

I bought this DVD for my young son who loves the ToyStory movies. I never expected it to be in the same league as the Toystory movies but what I got was just another lazy Disney cartoon, way below what I expected from Disney/Pixar. The story is unoriginal, the characters are dull and two dimensional, the animation is below par, even Buzz isn't that great. The movie could have been so much better. I especially hated the paint by numbers storyline. I know it's meant for kids, but even kids know when something stinks to this level lameness.Although I did enjoy some aspects of the movie, I really liked the opening section of the movie, with the slag mutant monster, it just went downhill from there.

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.
