Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
ebunker4 When I was a kid, a single VHS tape with six episodes of SuperTed came in a backpack I got at a yard sale. That tape is one of my most prized possessions. The characters are amazing, and the story lines are pretty nuts. Whenever I get sick and have to stay home, SuperTed, soup and juice are the remedy. I still have the entire opening sequence memorized. That opener is actually the origin story, and it is gloriously 80s. The premise of this show is really original, and the execution is exactly what the viewer would never expect. Even the plastic cassette jacket is unusual. It looks like a regular old Disney VHS jacket, but it weighs a lot more. All in all, one of the best pieces of 80's cartoonery of all time.
Lee Eisenberg Victor Spinetti just died, so I wanted to review one of his credits. "SuperTed" is fairly interesting, if not great. I saw it on video a few times when I was young. It wasn't even until many years later that I learned that Victor Spinetti provided the voice of villain Texas Pete (by which point I knew Spinetti as the co-star from the Beatles' movies). In fact, providing the voice of Bulk was Spinetti's "Help!" co-star Roy Kinnear (also memorable as Mr. Salt in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"). Reading about the show, I was surprised to learn that it comes from Wales; I've always thought that we don't hear enough about that country.Anyway, it's an OK show. Nothing particularly special, but pretty entertaining.Bones!
andy5955 When I was small, I watched a single episode of this on a video and fell in love with it. Years later, when videos had been replaced by CDs, I forgot about it until recently. However, it has gone away quietly and no one even talks about it anymore. Why waste such a perfectly good cartoon? It had wonderful (though sometimes not logical) plots and good voice acting. The character of a teddy bear could appeal to all age groups. I personally feel that they should bring him back to the land of the living and not let him be forgotten. Some cartoons are forgotten, others are brought back again by those who created them. This is one cartoon that should be aired on TV again.
Jackson Booth-Millard When I was a kid this used be one of my favourite cartoons ever. I don't remember seeing it on TV, but we had a couple of videos. It's about a teddy bear brought to life by a spotty man's cosmic dust. He then takes him to Mother Nature who gives him special powers. "That bear became SuperTed!" SuperTed always lived in space and rescued anyone in danger or with problems. Spotty was a little bit wimpy sometimes, but he was a good partner, I didn't realise he was voiced by Worzel Gummidge, Jon Pertwee! Anyway, SuperTed's most popular villains are Texas Pete the cowboy with his two helpers the fat and stupid Bulk, and the wimpy Skeleton. I don't know if it the stories I liked, or the fact that the hero was a teddy bear. But it is very good, kids will love it!
