Why didn't John Lasseter like it?

Because it was shit?

It wasn't shit though

>In a recent podcast interview with The Animation Guild, Stones doubted whether John Lasseter, the creator of Toy Story, would have liked his original idea for the show, remarking how he had recently heard that Lasseter hated the show, despite Stones having initially pitched the idea of the show to Lasseter, Joe Ranft and other key members of the films at the time of its creation.[4]

>"I have no clue whether John would have liked my version better. I suspect not when I finally see Buzz in those little dream sequences and things like that they do in Toy Story, it was... it's plain the Big Adventure, and this—this heroic guy who could do anything... and that's not the show that could sell to our guys down at Disney. So we were trying to get the feel of Buzz Lightyear being a fish out of water that was in Toy Story, except we were doing a story where he's a fish in the water, but we had to get that humor..."
—Tad Stones from TAG Blog: A Talk with Tad Stones, Part III[4]

>Lee Unkrich, one of the film editors for Toy Story and later on film editor and co-director of both sequels, originally had concerns about the show because he believed that "traditional, flatter animation wouldn't do justice to Buzz", even though Pixar had always intended for the first Toy Story film to open with a Buzz Lightyear cartoon done in traditional animation that Andy would be watching.[5] But Unkrich ultimately decided that it didn't matter and was quoted saying that Buzz Lightyear of Star Command "could actually be the cartoon that Buzz originally came from."[6]

>Despite the series not being a joint effort between Disney and Pixar as many seem to think, Pixar acted as Disney's consultants and contributed to the show's opening sequences that featured all of Andy's toys gathering together to watch the show.[7] Pixar was also undergoing production for Toy Story 2 during the time Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was nearing completion, and it was ultimately deemed unwise to release the show before the Toy Story 2 sequel. Despite that leading to the series not being able to be released upon its completion, it gave Stones and the others the opportunity to begin work on "The Adventure Begins", which detailed the events that led to the formation of Team Lightyear. They had everything already at their disposal, from character designs to layouts and backgrounds, which meant there was an "incredible increase in production value", despite the pilot chronologically being made after they had completed their work on the series.[4]

There's like a grand total of 2 waifus in it. It's clearly not a waifu-driven show.

The comedy was its strong suit actually.

I loved this show

I would pay for an official DVD or Blu-Ray release of this show. I remember seeing it on Toon Disney and going on the Buzz Lightyear ride in Walt Disney World back when they had references to the show in it. Last time I was at Disney World, I was pretty sure they got rid of the Booster at the end.

I think it just wasn't "spectacular" enough.

The Toy Story universe makes it look like Buzz is the greatest and most awesome character that has ever existed, not some guy from a Saturday morning cartoon with a retarded robot and janitor sidekicks.

I remember watching the Star Command movie at daycare, and a boy my age sitting next to me was doing his best to flirt with me the whole time. This is the only memory I have of this show.

Buzz was crazy competent in the show. In fact, they basically had to DRAG him off on vacation because he was so gung-ho about his work. I think they captured Buzz' characterization just fine.

But he's a character created for a toyline, it makes sense that there'd be a Saturday morning tie-in cartoon that's not exactly accurate to the lore presented by the toy itself.

XR was my husbando

Was that kid gay or something?

...

And you're certain he wasn't just talking to you or trying to be your friend? Pretty sure daycare kids don't even know what flirting is, user. Sorry to put a damper on your fantasy.

He touched my ass

I could probably still question this, but I don't think I want to be filled in on any more details.

Then that wasn't flirting, it was Sexual Harassment

he prefers depressing stuff.

I never watched much of the show, but I thought the pilot movie was fun.
I just can't stand the obvious drop in animation quality.

While a few episodes are CLEARLY made quality enough to be a part of the intro sequence, and others phone it in a bit, it never got as bad as some warner bros cartoons budget studios.

because it was a sci-fi adventure show and wasn't remotely about toys
