DVD Reviews of Star Wars Animated Adventures - Droids (The Pirates and the Prince / Treasures of the Hidden Planet)
DVD Review: Pleasant Nostalgia, and A Bit More.
Summary: 3 Stars
It would appear this dvd got a lot of negative reviews. But in all honesty, we should see it for what it is. I'm not exactly the most dedicated Star Wars fan. But the series was so successful, that people just did not want to let go of it. (Even the great Indiana Jones series was a continuation of Harrison Ford's Han Solo to some extent.) And so many years later, Episode I and Episode II were made, with Episode III not so far away. The point I am making is that less than 5 years after "Return of the Jedi" people still wanted Star Wars in one way or another. And this not so bad cartoon filled that need. Now to the subject at hand. True, cartoons come and cartoons go. But what I must say about this cartoon is that it moves along nicely with a lot of great comic touches. Anthony Daniels faithfully carries his performance as C3PO into this cartoon. And the episodes flow well with emphasis on character development and a story that flows well. Interestingly, the stories in this dvd are not bad at all. (So there is some good story that doesn't rely on someone or something getting blown up every two minutes. My advice is to give this dvd a chance. Granted, it's not the animated Batman series. (Arguably the greatest cartoon ever.) But if you want to take a trip back to the 80s, or if you want to see how people's need for Star Wars was filled after "Return of the Jedi," this really is not a bad way to do it. Give this dvd a chance. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Description 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.Bestsellers in DVD
