- Quotes
Evil Emperor Zurg: A delightful blend of man and machine... with just a naughty touch of lingonberry! I shall call you... Agent Z!
Agent Z: That's stupid.
Evil Emperor Zurg: My mother used to call me that!
Brain Pod #29: You know, he really, really likes that name.
Grubs, Self Destruct, Ranger #1, Rhizomian Man, and Cadet Flarn: Yes, he's been saving it for a very evil henchmen.
Agent Z: Agent Z, love it. Especially the whole "Z" thing.
- Alternate versionsWhen the movie was serialized in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (2000), Tim Allen's lines were replaced by the original vocal tracks of Patrick Warburton, who plays Buzz on the series.

Performed by William Shatner and the Star Command Chorus
Pixar put that formula to good use with their successful run of computer-animated films, but I am hesitant to watch anything released direct to video. But I was pleasantly surprised with Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins.
There's more "kids' stuff" here than in Toy Story and its progeny, but there's still plenty for adults to love. The voice talents are top-flight, especially Wayne Knight as Zurg. (Kudos also go to Stephen Furst, Adam Corolla and Larry Miller, all of whom seemed to be enjoying themselves and working their roles well.) Besides the voices, the film also offers some clever dialogue and good visual humor (picture a lazy robot reading a catalogue called "Victoria's Circuits"). The plot is competent. Good themes (like valuing teamwork and obeying the rules even when you don't like it) give the kids something to think about.
Finally, William Shatner shows up in the end credits with a laugh-out-loud spoken rendition of the Buzz Lightyear theme song: "To Infinity and Beyond." I had a good time explaining to my nephews and my son about Shatner's infamous "Lucy In the Sky (With Diamonds)" recording.
I'd like to see Pixar make more stuff like this.
