Review of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (2000) by Michael M — 14 Aug 2012

This one is actually a lot of fun. Buzz Lightyear was, in a way, created as a representation of those dumb action figures based on those cartoons we watched as kids. This is (in the Toy Story universe) the movie (and subsequent show) that supposedly inspired Buzz, so it holds the same spirit as those shows.

So it has all that dumb fun, but with a little more intelligence, thought, and overall quality. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it's pretty godamn entertaining. The animation is good, there's a decent twist near the end, most of the characters (especially Zurg) are enjoyable to watch, it's just generally enjoyable.
