Star Wars Droids & Star Wars Rebels - animated series

John has us take a look at two animated series based on the Star Wars property. The earliest example of animated Star Wars is the first thing we examine, Droids. The latest example we examine is Rebels.

The Star Wars holiday special showcased an animated short featuring Boba Fett and was the first foray in animation with the property.

Droids, set about a decade before A New Hope, follows R2D2 and C3P0 as they bumble across the universe falling into one adventure after another.

Rebels, starting about 5 years prior to A New Hope, follows a group of mercenary smugglers as they shift from survival into full rebellion against the Empire.

Droids isn’t readily available in a streaming or disc format, though you can find some episodes online. Rebels is available on iTunes, Amazon and on Disney XD. NEXT WEEK: A new topic as we go into February “Love 4 Sale.”

DuckTales - original animated series and reboot series

Brian’s pick is one of the most memorable Disney television animation series. Based on the comic and character by Carl Barks, DuckTales follows the adventures of money obsessed Scrooge McDuck.

The original series had an impressive level of animation for television and put Disney TV squarely in the front for viewers.

Spawning a couple spinoffs and a video game it was a smash It is a wonder that the series too so long to reboot. The new style is much more economical, modern yes, but not as richly animated as its predecessor.

When Disney’s streaming service launches perhaps DuckTales will become more widely available, but for now you can find the original series on Amazon and the new series air on Disney XD and is on iTunes and Amazon digitally. 

NEXT WEEK: We conclude with John pick, a pair of Star Wars animated series, one of the first and one of the most recent.

GLOW - the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling (documentary & netflix series)

Keith’s pick explores a short-lived 80′s wrestling show and the netflix series that recently aired dramatizing it.  

The series is funny and dark. The casting is great with lots of physical performances.

The documentary is alright, it gives a glimpse at the world of the show from the perspective of the performers.

The GLOW series is available on Netflix. The GLOW documentary is likewise up on Netflix.

NEXT WEEK: Brian’s pick is up as we discuss the original DuckTales series and contrast it with the new DuckTales.
