Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

This is one of my all-time favourite cartoons from Disney. When I first saw an

episode, I didn’t expect it to be done well… mainly because all that was going through my head was "how

can they turn a CG-movie into a 2D cartoon?" However, it worked incredibly well. One of the reasons is

because they took a character that didn’t necessarily have to be the same character from the original movie

(Buzz Lightyear… and I’m convinced that it’s not the same Lightyear from Toy Story) and show a different world

that was rarely shown from TS (and TS2). Plus you got all these new characters that are so funny and

enjoyable.

After a few more episodes, I quickly became hooked. My favourite character was XR, whose humour

truly sold me. He’s the perfect comic relief. I also like Mira Nova for her powers, appearance, and sarcasm. For

the most part, there aren’t any characters in the show that I really dislike. I even love some of the villains…

mainly NOS-4-A2 and Zurg.

Oh, I sure hope there are other fans of the cartoon around the board! They

stopped showing BLoSC in Canada at least 3 years ago and I’ve been upset about it ever since! I really hope they

release it on DVD in the future…

I think they stopped showing it about five years ago, here. My favourite character was XR by

far, too- he was just SO funny, and always had something to say; usually at exactly the wrong time. Larry Miller

did a great job with him.

BLoSC did Toy Story justice but was, at the same time, very unique and separate

from TS. It worked very well.

I like this show, but during it’s time of living I spent more time trying to catch

Teacher’s Pet. I enjoyed BLoSC very much . . . just a shame I couldn’t see both

at that particular moment of my life!

Oh yeah, Teacher’s Pet…This

WAS a long time ago! :laughing:

Sorry, but I can’t share

your opinion. That Lightyear TV series was pretty bad. I didn’t like it in any way.

I just saw it about 3 weeks ago it is cool

This is intresting. Please explain why you don’t like it as

mch as others. From what I have heard, people said it was enjoyable.

Yeah,

the series is quite enjoyable - but nothing more. It’s just one of those animated series that you watch, when

you have nothing better to do.

Buzz Lightyear of Star

Command works because you know deeep down it’s not the actual Buzz Lightyear from the movie, but rather the show

that Andy watches himself that features Buzz Lightyear and thus inspires him getting a Buzz action figure for his

birthday and thus the movies. Thus it works by fitting into that world. Any other Pixar movie would have a hard

time being translated as such. =)
