When I first heard about Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, I thought it sounded like a cheesy attempt to make money off the popular Buzz Lightyear character. Was I ever wrong! I've starting watching it and it's become one of my favorite TV shows.
The series follows the adventures of Buzz Lightyear, the noble space hero, and his team of lovable rookie Space Rangers: Princess Mira Nova, Booster Sinclair Munchapper, and XR (the eXperimental Ranger), as they protect the galaxy from evil. Namely the Evil Emperor Zurg and his nasty side-kicks.
The writing is brilliant, the plot lines of the episodes are creative and full of humor and action. XR is particularly funny, but all of the characters have great lines. The animation of the show is well-done; the cel animation and brilliant colors are a beauty to watch, and the shading on the characters (something that most of Disney's animated shows don't have) brings it to whole new level. The score, written by Adam Berry, is definitely up to par with any and all of Disney's distinctively fantastic music, and I'd love to see a soundtrack released someday.
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover; well, don't judge a TV show by its title either. Have an open mind, and give this show a chance, you won't regret it.
