Plot
This animated series, based on the popular "Toy Story" movies, features Buzz Lightyear's adventures as he patrols the galaxy with other space rangers working for Star Command, battling intergalactic crime boss Emperor Zurg and other evildoers. His team of cadets includes Booster Sinclair, Princess Mira and XR, the teammate with all the cool gadgets.
Why It Rocks
- The first spin-off for a Pixar show!
- Great voice acting. Patrick Warburton did a good job voicing Buzz Lightyear.
- Plenty of likable characters such as Buzz Lightyear, Princess Mira, Booster Sinclair, XR and the Little Green Man.
- Great villains, especially the Evil Emperor Zurg.
- Awesome intro.
- Speaking of the intro, most of Andy's toys were in the CGI, especially Woody and Jessie, when Buzz was about to watching his own show.
- Great storylines.
- Some funny moments are there.
- It also takes place in the far future, a pastiche of Star Trek or Star Wars-style science fiction.
The Only Bad Quality
- While Patrick Warburton did a good job voicing Buzz Lightyear, Buzz just doesn't sound right without Tim Allen.
Trivia
- For some reason, John Lasseter hated it.
