a boat, then a train, then onto an airplane. Buzz and his father are trying desperately to catch up, paddling a canoe after the boat, then pumping an old-fashioned railroad cart after the train, then chasing after the airplane in a helicopter. When the airplane pilot uses his windshield wipers to knock Fly Guy off, he tumbles through the air, right into the path of an approaching rocket. Buzz and his dad fear that they have lost their friend, but (spoiler alert) it turns out that the rocket narrowly missed Fly Guy and he is safely on the ground, a little dizzy, but not too much worse for the wear. The three of them bike home at a much more leisurely pace. Kids who haven't experienced the humor in all the Fly Guy titles will enjoy making his acquaintance in this installment. Show Less

I am *so* not the target audience, and so maybe I should not rate this. However, in my opinion, it does not transcend to the universal, and so I think 3 stars is fair. Some kids will adore it, and good on 'em.
