Movie Reviews of Star Wars Animated Adventures - Droids (The Pirates and the Prince / Treasures of the Hidden Planet)
Movie Review: The second animated series from the greatest film saga ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
:-)
I have read the reviews on line here at Amazon.com about the release of these first two "Droids" cartoon episodes, "The Pirates and the Prince" & "Treasures of the Hidden Planet" some I agree with, others I don't. I remember seeing this animated series during its original television run in 1986 through 1987 as I went from a 11-year-old boy to a 12-year-old pre-adolescent and I loved these cartoons growing up and I still do. I only wish that Lucas had released all of them instead of just two of them. These "Droids" cartoons take place between "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" & "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" as we watch the developing friendship between C-3PO (voiced by Anthony Daniels, who played & voiced him in all of the movies) & R2-D2. Once again George Lucas is executive producer as he did with "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" & "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi" and that in part is what made this animated television series so good, because George Lucas is a great storyteller, creating great characters and a great adventure to watch those characters grow within the series, but he is no director. Any episodes of this wonderful animated series is highly recommended and a great & positive influence for children to watch.

Summary of Star Wars Animated Adventures - Droids (The Pirates and the Prince / Treasures of the Hidden Planet)
With shows like Clone Wars now entertaining young audiences, one has to wonder if they should bother showing thier children anything that belongs in the original trilogy universe in terms of spin-offs, there was never a "definitive" animated series featuring Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Han Solo, etc, however, this show featured the two Droids.\r\n\r\n"Droids" is NOT set AFTER the original trilogy, it's set BEFORE it, a series of five episode arcs featured R2-D2 and 3-PO having different adventures with a different matser with each new arc, it was something that was rare in shows of that decade, and it kep the premise fresh...the premise of the two droids going through various comedy acts, whilst being pursued by The Empire.\r\n\r\nI would recommend a BOX SET, but NOT this DVD, it only has two horribly-spliced together episodes on it, hardly anything that would represent this series fairly to a cyncial or cautious viewer, of course there's enough humour in it to keep your children happy\r\n\r\nAnd it's a known fact, those who tell people in an immatue fashion to "get a life", usually only say that when they, themselves, have made a mess of thier own.Similar DVD Movies
