DVD Reviews of BraveStarr: Volume Two
DVD Review: Satisfying End to A Memorable Series
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD set contains the final 32 episodes of Filmation's last cartoon series before the American based animation studio closed its doors for good. Bravestarr represents the culmination of years of artistic, technical, and storytelling knowledge for Filmation. The animation is easily the most fluid and polished the studio has ever produced, relying very little on stock footage. The stories offer a level of maturity that acts as a bridge from the kid friendly cartoons of the 80s to the animated series phenomena of the 90s. A particularly dramatic episode entitled 'the Price' tells the story of a boy who abuses drugs and suffers a fate that no other cartoons at the time would dare to depict.
Of course, no western, even a futuristic sci-fi western, would be complete without the no-nonsense, tough as nails sheriff. But Bravestarr embodies a depth of character that differentiates him from all of the previous western heroes. Bravestarr is actually a person of color, a rare attribute for a lead heroic character on the Saturday morning landscape, even today. Unlike most other heroes, he doesn't always have the answers and occasionally relies on the sage advice of his mentor, the Shaman. In Bravestarr, Filmation created a memorable hero who is well aware of his shortcomings but is determined to rise above them in order to bring peace to a hostile land.
Unfortunately, the absence of bonus features for this final volume can be directly attributed to the lackluster sales of Bravestarr Volume 1. But instead of chastising BCI/ Navarre for this oversight, this reviewer applauds their dedication to finish the series' run so that fans can own all of the episodes from this underrated cartoon. This gesture separates BCI from the scores of entertainment studios that refuse to release additional DVD sets unless the prior sales are an overwhelming success. See the product pages for Superboy or Gargoyles for a taste of the lamentation this type of studio abandonment can cause fans. In closing, the Bravestarr series represents the final endeavor of a magnificent studio that prided itself on keeping the animation work in America. Their collective efforts live on through these great DVD releases for old and new fans to enjoy. At a time when even heroes walk a morally ambiguous line, it is refreshing to follow the exploits of a hero worth believing in.
