PIXAR fans with the film Lightyear claiming to be the film that inspired Andy to buy the Buzz Lightyear toy. I thought that i;d take a look at the movie that also claimed that exact same thing and does it so much better then what Lightyear did just by being a movie that a kid his age in the nineties would actually like and watch and so then join me as I review the film that is the first Toy Story spin off ever made with the film in question being called simply just "Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command: The Adventure Begins" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when his partner is killed by Zurg Buzz Lightyear and a bunch of new star command recruits are tasked with going on a mission to stop the evil emperors latest evil scheme. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good wit this films plot being very entertaining and as well as being very engaging and the kind of plot that you'd expect to see from a pilot movie but in a fun and slightly unique way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear , Wayne Knight as Evil Emperor Zurg and Stephen Furst as Booster. Also starring in this film is Nicole Sullivan as Mira Nova , Larry Miller as XR , Adam Carolla as Commander Nebula , Patrick Warburton as LGM , Diedrich Bader as Warp Darkmatter , Jim Hanks as Woody , Wallace Shawn as Rex , R. Lee Ermey as Sarge , Andrew Stanton as Hamm and Joe Ranft as Wheezy.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast turning in some really good performances however the films script really doesn't give the actors alot to work with interms of what their characters personalities are and that is something that does affect the overall performances in this film.
Doing the animation for this film is the legend and the greats that are currently over at Jade Animation and Walt Disney Animation Japan. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good especially for what is basically a direct to VHS movie which for those that don't know those very rarely if ever had any really good animation in them whatsoever.
Like alot of this of this show this film opens up with the characters from Toy Story with alot of them still being played by their original voice actor. While I really did like this scene in this movie I have to wonder why it was even concluded since all it does is set up the fact that this movie is just that a movie in the world of Toy Story which wasn't really needed since we the audience could have worked that out for ourselves but it was still great seeing these characters that we all grew up appear in a movie for a show that has pretty much been scrubbed from the official Toy Story canon.
As I said at the start of the review this film and the show that it comes from were both billed as the show that inspired Andy to buy his Buzz Lightyear toy and to this films credit it does look like a movie that a kid his age would love. Which is something that just wasn't true for Lightyear since that movie was dull and lifeless and yet this film is colorful with it's characters being very highly entertaining and while the Buzz in this movie has a very predictable character arc it is one that you'd see played out quite frequently in alot of shows that are made to sell toys.
I will admit that one of this films more weaker elements is Zurg himself granted he is treated better in this movie then he was in Lightyear. However in this film he comes of more as a bumbling villain instead of someone who is a serious threat to our main heroes which given that in universe this show was meant to inspire Andy to get a Buzz Lightyear toy that does somewhat make sense however it doesn't make him appear as a threatening villain which is what he really should be coming across as being.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and six minuets and fifty five seconds. Which considering that this film is just three episodes of the show edited together is to be expected however this film could gave done with being at the very least twenty minuets just because you could then get across each characters personality alot more and that would in turn make all of the characters seem alot more three dimensional then what they already are and on top of that it would allow us more time with these incredibly fun and times some rather really funny characters as well.
So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Even more so for a kids animated direct to VHS movie but at the same time the action that we got in this film does get to be a little repetitive at times as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is a much better origin story for the Buzz Lightyear character then what Lightyear was since this film actually looks like a film that a kid would actually watch and like in the nineties in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film warns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
