First Toy Story spin off.

Everyone knows Buzz Lightyear, an action figure with it's own merchandise.

Till Buzz gets his own Cartoon series. In the beginning you get to see the Toys from Toy Story watching the new video of the Buzz Lightyear movie.

The movie is featured in 2-D animation. While the toys were in 3-D animation like in Toy Story. The movie has not the action figure Buzz but a Buzz Lightyear who is Human and part of star Command.

He is on a mission to prevent Emperor Zurg(from Toy Story 2) from using the powers of this core thing from the LGM(Little Green Men) planet.

He teams up with 3 different characters who wanted to be his partner.

The animation is very well done, and the story is original with some jokes and action.

If you're obsess with Buzz Lightyear then you might like this movie.
