Disney & Pixar present- "LIGHTYEAR!"
- Thread starter Paladin
- Start date
Needs more Mira, and XR, and Booster.
Probably won't happen since I heard Pixar hated the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon.
Could just be the Bowie fooling me, but seems like it may be interesting.
Yeah, I'm always up for a good space movie and I've never been disappointed by Pixar yet.
As for Tim Allen not being the voice of Buzz, I think it works perfectly on a "toy manufacturers rarely spend the money to hire the real actor for toy voice chips" level.

Whoa, why? They had no input? Like how Disney made Planes?
I didn't watch Star Command except for the initial eps.
Oh, didn't watch the new Trailer (in case spoilers) but is that cat on his shoulder for real? (Or a stuffed toy?)
Robot cat. Think of the teddy bear from the movie A.I.
Short answer: Pixar didn't like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command because, apparently, John Lasseter didn't care for it.
Longer answer: These videos explain it best:
I watched the videos and a few others (like where a guy interviews Tad Stones). Tad said something like there was no acknowledgement of his show, even though it was a success. Also it felt like a slap or something when they put up a Buzz lightyear ride but the billboard had random Space Rangers instead of them cartoon crew. Even a girl who could have been Mira the ghostlady.
That was strange to me, too. Since the last time I went to the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disney World (I believe the one in the video was the Disneyland one), I remember that the ride had both Booster and XR seen at the very end of it where you get off and exit, right before the photo screens where you see the picture they took of you during the ride.
Booster was even a sculpted wall statue guarding a wall painting of Zurg captured behind bars.
Granted, this was several years ago, around 2010 or so. So it's been awhile since I last went on the ride.
I kinda like the cartoon back when. Haven't seen it in ages though... wonder if it's on disney+...
Anyway: movie looks kinda neat, I doubt I'll go to a theater for it, but I'll make the effort to watch it when it streams for free on the service.

Sadly, it isn't.
I showed the trailer to the kids and they loved it! Another great show making that Disney+ subscription worth it.
