Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins was released to VHS and DVD on August 8, 2000. At its initial release, the VHS sold for $25, and the DVD sold for $30. The VHS has trailers for Disney’s 102 Dalmatians, The Emperor’s New Groove, The Tigger Movie, Fantasia 2000, Toy Story 2. It also includes previews for Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV series and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command video game.

The DVD bonus features are titled as follows: Rogues’ Gallery Game, Digital Comic Book, and Star Command Trivia Game. Rogues’ Gallery Game asks the player to identify villains from the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command series. The participant uses their DVD remote to select an icon with that character’s face. There are a total of 10 villains to choose from. The gamer must answer two questions about each character. After answering the first question correctly, the player is presented with a character profile of that villain. After the second correct answer, a short video on that character is displayed. After answering all the questions correctly, there is a concluding video and then the activity ends. The digital comic book has two options, read to yourself or have it read to you. The comic book is titled The Emperor’s New Throne, and it tells the story of how Buzz Lightyear stopped Zurg from taking over Princess Mira Nova’s home planet. The Star Command Trivia Game asks the participant a total of 16 questions about the movie. They are multiple choice with four options per question. At the end, the gamer is presented with a screen that tells them how many questions they answered correctly.

The DVD audio track is recorded in 5.1 Dolby Digital with optional English subtitles. The DVD previews are 102 Dalmatians, The Tigger Movie, Fantasia 2000, Toy Story 2, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command TV series, and the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command video game. This movie has two different versions, a 1.33:1 (4:3) full-screen version on the VHS and a 1.78:1 (16:9) wide-screen version on the DVD. Although the DVD uses a wide-screen aspect ratio, it is not enhanced for 16:9 wide-screen TVs. The disc was designed to be played on a 4:3 TV, so there is a built in black boarder on the top and bottom of the video. This feature had originally been slated as the pilot episode for the TV show and as a result was intended to be shown in 4:3 but was later cropped to 16:9.
