Movie Reviews of BraveStarr: Volume One
Movie Review: A Great Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I missed this show as a kid. It came out when I was probably a senior in high school and would have been off my radar at that point, though I was a child of the 80's Golden Age of Animation (He-Man, Thundercats, Voltron, etc.). Anyway, boy did I miss out on something. I picked this up because the themes intrigued me, and the reviews I read seemed to indicate it might be up my alley. I will not go into all the detail others have, but felt I needed to tell folks that if they are a fan of the He-Man/Thundercats era of animation, then this is something you have to own. Not only is it apparently an important piece of animation history (being the last American animation project of any real size), but it is a body of work that stands the test of time. Watching a show like the original He-Man has nostalgic value to someone my age, but those episodes do contain a certain amount of cringe-value, and I don't know if my kids will enjoy them as much as I did for as long as I did (though I sincerely hope they will). But Bravestar really lacks that dated, this-would-never-fly-today feel that you get from some of the vintage animation those of us who grew up in the 80's have such a soft spot for. Good stuff. Has the main character giving the viewer the moral for the day as He-Man used to--which is something you just can't picture a show doing anymore, but also can't figure out why the heck not. Great production values, great transfer. Great extras. Really a pleasure to view and I am really glad I rolled the dice on it. If you want the feature movie that kicked this series off, you need to get the Best of Bravestar DVD release. It's worth owning as well, and the extra episodes it brings with it are just a bonus, especially at the price it's going for now (like 12 bucks). All the Bravestar products are highly recommended. I really hope the second volume actually comes out and I will definitely be picking that one up, too. So should you!
Summary of BraveStarr: Volume One
There's a new sheriff in town and his name is Marshall Bravestarr!He's come to the rough-and-tumble planet of New Texas to bring some law to its anarchy. Aided by the shape-changing technohorse Thirty-Thirty and the beautiful Judge J. B., Bravestarr protects the settlers and miners from the motley villains that want to steal the valuable mineral Kerium.
The outlaw Tex Hex and his gang have lots of technological weapons at their command ? and occasional assists by the powerful phantom Stampede ? but they're no match for Bravestarr's own powers: the strength of the bear, the speed of the puma, the eyes of the hawk, and the ears of the wolf!
