Movie Reviews of Star Wars Ewok Adventures - Caravan of Courage (aka The Ewok Adventure) / The Battle for Endor
Movie Review: EWOKS!
Summary: 4 Stars
Once, at a toy store, I saw this movie. I thought,"No. The ewoks just don't look right." But later,on Amazon, I decided to look it up, since I like the cute little ewoks so much. Mom got the movie for my birthday. I watched it very soon, but I didn't know the disk was double sided, so by accident I watched The Battle for Endor first. So watch the red side first. Although the movie does not seem like Star Wars, it wisks you off to the forest moon of Endor with some old friends, and some charming new acquaintences.The Caravan of Courage is not as good as The Battle of Endor because there is not as much Ewok fighting action. I cried a bit at some sad parts, and my kid brother got scared of the Gorax, a big hairy monster. But as a young lady, I think the Ewoks are so CUTE! I'm pleased that they made an Ewok movie for Ewok fans! Now for the suggestions. I would not suggest getting this movie for little kids that get upset when "Good Guys" die, or are afraid of scary masks or monsters(My brother hid in the kitchen). My Dad says,"It's not just corny, but it's 80s'corny!" But this is the cutest movie I have ever seen! If you like Ewoks, this movie is for you! Movie Review: Great entertainment

I purchased this at the request of my Grandchildren, and, it did not disappoint them in any way. Well worth the money!Movie Review: Flashback!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie for my two young children when they were 3 and 4. They loved it! I was so happy to see this movie in the store a year ago and it immediately brought back the excitement of a movie centered around the ewoks. They are awesome! I loved ewoks as a child and love them today. I have been looking for a copy of this movie again for my 6 year old nephew who is a huge star wars fan. In its prime, this movie was loved by young children everywhere. Get this for your young one before they grow too old and critical. Movie Review: Nostalgia of Bygone Days
Summary: 5 Stars
So the Ewoks eyes are funny, the dialog and narration could use some work (mainly, more of both would be nice), and the stories are downright cheesy. The reason I love these films is that watching them brings back happy childhood memories that make me feel as fuzzy as the little furr balls on screen. I was seven when the Ewok Adventure was shown on tv and that must have been the perfect age to absorb this lighthearted tale.
I could never forget these wonderful bits:
* Cindel and Mace hide in a tree to avoid a rodent of extra-unusual size (a boar-wolf, or borra - favored pets of the Gorax)
* on the quest to find their parents, Mace touches a lake and suddenly finds himself trapped underneath it; his fellow travelers will have to be resourceful to save him
* at night, and all but one of the wisties fly into Cindel's eternal Candle of Pure Light; and the spare, adopted by Mace, turns out to be Izrina (queen of the wisties - though you don't learn that in this story) who will be helpful in the battle against the Gorax
* brave Chukha battles the giant spider and later the Gorax
* Wicket's silly 'stercroozer cresht' and other antics
It seems that modern kids can't really appreciate these SW tv classics, probably because they grew up with far superior visual effects and stories that have come from a foundation of twenty years of SW and other great sci-fi and fantasy tv, videos, games, etc (as well as the prior foundation for SW). They may be spoiled in a way, but they do not have the hindsight to see how far we have come. I do not envy them.
The Ewok Adventure is best veiwed in conjunction with the Buena Vista Records Read-Along Storybook 'Ewok Adventure.' It fills in gaps in the story and actually changes some of the dialog for the first film (I think for the better).
Old star voyager Noa and little zippy Teek are memorable characters in the second film, in which Cindel and Wicket feature as well. Noa actually does appear with some oatmeal which Cindel had prepared. :o) A nice synopsis of the two stories from the Star Wars Expanded Universe may be found on the Official Star Wars Website under Beyond the Movies > Expanded Universe > Television > Classic Television > Ewok Adventures > Cindel (Towani).
Movie Review: The irritating little possesed teletubbies
Summary: 1 Stars
So I've watched the first one.Some boy who thinks he's a hero and a
bunch of teletubies with red eyes.The girl was the only decent one,but all she said was "Mace,mace,mace." I know George Lucas wasn't a director.I double-dared my mom to watch the second one, but she said no.I regret watching it.It's one of the movies that someone has to pay you for you to watch it.This one's worse than Cat in the Hat
