BEST OF BRAVESTARR TV DVD REVIEW


A blurb from Entertainment Rights/BCI about The Best Of Bravestarr: All legends have a beginning…having escaped the destruction of his home world by the villain Stampede; Marshall Bravestarr is now one of the toughest lawman in the universe. On the planet of New Texas, Bravestarr faces his destiny, and the Prairie People, in a battle to protect the world and its people from the evil Tex Hex and his gang!

You asked for it! You got it! Entertainment Rights/BCI had an online poll for the best 5 most loved episodes of the series and they are on a 2 disc set with loads of extras! Bravestarr was the last animated TV series that Filmation did. I like the show and animation and the show reminded me of “Gunsmoke in Outer Space”! The show had the usual stable of cute cuddly alien characters that had a very cartoon look. This set includes the Theatrical movie-“Bravestarr-The Legend” with audio commentary on the film with the producer, actor and director of the movie. It also has a documentary on the movie with trailer and a whole lot more.
