What Parents Need to Know
About Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins
Parents need to know that the action relies too much on battles and explosions, but introduces likeable new characters. There is some serious drama here, though, that may disturb kids: Buzz believes that his partner has died and mourns at a funeral service. Zurg turns a good ranger to evil. Crater vipers try to bite Buzz's head off. Little Green Men get tortured by aliens. When Zurg steals their planet's Uni-Mind to turn people to evil, Commander Nebula speaks in Zurg's voice. The ideal age for this clever space parody is grade-school kids. Older kids get more of the references to famous sci-fi movies, though the theme may seem trite to them.
