What Parents Need to Know
About Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
Parents need to know that this cartoon series is based on the popular Buzz Lightyear character from Pixar's Toy Story, although the computer graphics of the original film have been dropped in favor of standard two-dimensional animation. The series is based on the usual sci-fi formula and doesn't really offer any educational content, although positive social decisions are made in the name of justice.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the relationship between entertainment and marketing -- i.e., how companies like Disney use entertainment franchises to sell toys and other merchandise. Does this series seek to entertain or to sell? What kind of messages is it sending to viewers? How can you tell if a television show is trying to sell something? On the lighter side, parents can ask their kids which other Toy Story/Pixar characters they might like to see in their own TV shows. What kind of show do you think each would have?
