Movie Reviews of Rescue Heroes - The Movie
Movie Review: A must have for Rescue Heroes fans.
Summary: 5 Stars
You get one full length movie, done in excellent looking computer animation, and two animated shorts from the standard cel animation tv show. I am usually not in favor of some of these modern, CGI looking movies, but this one doesn't stray very much from the characters normal likenesses and looks good. The two bonus tv shorts are from the 2nd batch of Rescue Heroes animation, which featured better animation than the 1st. You will notice a big difference in how some of the characters were drawn, especially Rocky Canyon. He had a very fat face and looked bulky in the 1st batch, but his face got much more realistic looking in the 2nd batch, and he looks leaner. They definitely found better animators for the 2nd series, and it shows in the character's faces.
All the videos and DVD's that come free with the toys are usually the 1st batch of shows, which is why this set is nice to have the newer ones, even though there are only 2. If you are looking for the rest of the shows on DVD, you can get an order form with most of the figures, advertising 4 volumes of Rescue Heroes animated shows. Volumes 1 & 2 feature the older shows (2001) and Volumes 3 & 4 feature the 2003, updated animation ones. They are not for sale on Amazon and can only be ordered through Fisher Price (which takes much shorter than their listed 6 weeks time), or through online auction.
If your child is a fan of the toys or the show, they should love this movie, which features tons of action right from the start. The movie also features some secondary characters such as Rip Rockefeller and Pat Pending. The main characters of Jake Justice, Billy Blazes, Wendy Waters, Ariel Flyer, Jack Hammer, and Rocky Canyon are all here, with Rocky getting a lot of screen time, as the movie focuses on his eagerness to be a RH team leader.
A must have for any Rescue Heroes fan. This DVD is VERY hard to find in most local stores, so I would just order right here through Amazon.
Summary of Rescue Heroes - The Movie
Rescue Heroes: The Movie is easily the brawny team's most exciting and entertaining animated story to date. Talk about a bad day at the office: When a volcano in Ecuador spouts an unknown element into the atmosphere, a series of mysterious lightning storms create worldwide havoc, from avalanches in Switzerland to bursting dams in Thailand to fires in American forests. The Rescue Heroes scamper over the globe saving lives, but nothing, it seems, can avert a planetary cataclysm once these storms merge in the atmosphere. Complicating matters is an unknown illness striking team leader Billy Blazes, and a bad case of arrogance and insubordination that grounds Rocky Canyon at a critical time. "Rescue Heroes: The Movie" is far and away more visually pleasing and dramatic than episodes from the Heroes' television show. CGI animation allows more creative angles, movement, and changing backgrounds--very handy for a story spread over much of the Earth. "--Tom Keogh"Similar DVD Movies
