Buzz Lightyear of Star Command is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation in collaboration with Pixar. The series, which is a spin-off of the Toy Story film franchise, originally aired on UPN and ABC from August 2000 to January 2001 as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning programming block.
Serving as the in-universe inspiration for the action figure featured in the Toy Story films, the series focuses on Buzz Lightyear, a heroic space ranger working for the intergalactic rescue force, Star Command. Joined by three other rangers; Mira, a princess who can phase through walls, Booster, a happy-go-lucky janitor, and XR, a snarky robot, Buzz fights to keep the universe safe from notorious villains, most notably the Evil Emperor Zurg.
A videogame based on the series was developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Activision. It was released for PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Microsoft Windows and Dreamcast in 2000. The gameplay revolves around Buzz Lightyear chasing down the various villains from the show, and defeating them using different color-coded weapons.
The series aired during UPN's Disney's One Too programming block from October 2000 to August 2003. Reruns aired on Disney Channel from 2000 to September 2, 2003, and again from June 5, 2006 to May 16, 2008.
Toon Disney reran the series from 2003 to 2007.
