Yep, Zurg is here, but like Buzz, he's not quite the Zurg you know from the Toy Story movies (even if he inspired the toy from Toy Story 2). There's a fun spin on a classic moment from that sequel, yet the presence of Zurg only adds to the feeling that Lightyear didn't really need to be a spin-off. Tilted Ship– Star Command Space Rangers of the 56th Airborne Alpha Quadrant meet Buzz and the Space Ranger students. Buzz is given a truth serum so he’ll expose whatever he knows about his father’s connection to the aliens who have taken over Proxima B.

An alternative approach would been to integrated Buzz a little more into the family moments instead of him looking in through the doorway. It results in a disconnect with them that also means the emotional triggers later in the film aren’t as powerful as they could have been. Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command Season 1 Episode 2 Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Part 2 Lightyear claims to be the "definitive origin story" of Buzz Lightyear, but really it's only the origin of the hero who inspired the toy. You won't be learning anything about the history of Buzz before he met Woody and co, even if there are Toy Story nods to be found everywhere. In case the marketing hasn't made it clear, Lightyear is the movie that Andy would have seen that got him obsessed with Buzz Lightyear. It's a movie that would have been released in the world of Toy Story, but with no story connection to the events of the Toy Story series. Polly– Buzz relives childhood memories when he visits an aeronautic museum in which his father is memorialized. There, he finds Polly, his dad’s robot companion bird, who possesses a very revealing recorded message meant for Buzz!

Meet Izzy – After young Izzy and her family (including her brother Maurice) move in next door to Buzz, the adorable, talkative girl bursts into Buzz’s home, warms up to Sox, and asks Buzz a lot of questions. Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command Season 1 Episode 1 Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command: The Adventure Begins, Part 1 The emotional side of things is also why the pacing feels a little off as it clearly wanted to give important moments enough time to hit home, but this does result in a slower build up. On balance, it’s probably better that they went this way, but some of the time dilation stuff could have been sped through with a shorter montage. Summary: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Complete. Buzz Lightyear of Star Command takes place in the far future, a pastiche of Star Trek and Star Wars-style science fiction. Capital Planet is the forefront of the Galactic Alliance, a peaceful union of various planets, home to various alien species that coexist in harmony with one another. Star Command is a peacekeeping organization consisting of Space Rangers, who investigate threats to galactic peace. The primary enemy of Star Command is the Evil Emperor Zurg, an intergalactic crime boss that rules an empire of heavily-armed robots and slave races forced to work in opposition to the Galactic Alliance. DVD Video Preview:When an exploration of lifeforms on an uncharted planet goes very wrong, Buzz ( Chris Evans) makes a critical error trying to escape the planet. Thanks to him, his entire crew is stranded 4.2 million light-years from Earth with their hyperspeed crystal destroyed. Given how big Toy Story is, it's perhaps a surprise that we've waited this long for a spin-off movie with Lightyear arriving in cinemas 27 years(!) after the first movie. We've had other Toy Story movies and TV show spin-offs in that time, of course, but it always felt like a franchise ripe for big-screen spin-offs. Now that Pixar has got around to it, it's even more of a surprise that it's not really a spin-off in the traditional sense, because it's not about the Buzz we know.
