Good but wish there was more

We love this DVD the only thing is there should be more episodes on it! My son was really bummed.

Reporting for Duty

I've found that it's often dangerous to over-analyze the simple joys of childhood -- ice cream, running in the park, Saturday morning cartoons. And yet here on Amazon, Buzz Lightyear has somehow morphed into a polarizing figure, on par with the likes of Barry Bonds and Ronald Reagan.

Both of my boys were fully hooked by the dazzling "Toy Story" movies -- and, to be fair, most of us parents were big fans as well. So what can we make of "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins"?

If your kids are Buzz devotees -- my sons have all but pushed for matching Star Command tattoos -- this movie is a good bit of fun. The stunning computer animation of the previous movies are missing, save for an early intro scene. Buzz's beloved three-dimensional movie pals are gone; what we have here is Buzz the cartoon hero.

Brace yourself for plenty of laser blasts, spaceship chases and, well, cartoonish showdowns between Buzz, Emperor Zurg and cast of new Buzz buddies. The movie went over well with the boys, who at 3 and 1 can somehow cope without the Woody and all of the computer animations. The question is -- can we?

Bad Reviewers miss the point

This is supposed to be the cartoon that the Action Figure in the movie is derived from. These complaints about "No Computer Animation" and no "Depth" is missing the point of the show. It is a fun show for kids and adults. I am a huge fan of Pixar and the Toy Story series, even more so, of Buzz Lightyear himself. I Love this movie and I Love the animated series (with great voice acting, including the always hilarious Patrick Warburton). Highly recommended from this Amazonian.
