Disney & Pixar's Lightyear DVD

Product Information

Subtitles in English, English for the hearing impaired and French. Chris Evans provides the voice of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the action figure of the same name, in this animated spin-off of 'Toy Story' (1995). The voice cast also includes Taika Waititi, Keke Palmer and Dale Soules. Buzz battles the evil Emperor Zurg, who steals the "Unimind", a device that enables three-eyed aliens to function as a single intellect. Buzz Lightyear may engage kids who play with the toys, but it won't appeal to the adults who flocked to the brilliant Toy Story features. When their ship crashes on a hostile planet, Buzz, his commanding officer and best friend Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) and the rest of the personnel on board build a temporary home, but attempts to escape disrupt the space-time continuum and they can't leave. REVIEW This direct-to-video feature, which serves as a lead-in to the Disney animated TV series, continues the adventures of Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story films--and introduces the new supporting cast. --Charles Solomon The aliens, referred to as "LGMs" (little green men), form the support crew that keep Star Command running, but as individual thinkers, they're inept.
