            Pretty Good Although Derivative of Star Wars
            Some very good animation is combined with a very good score by Andrew Belling in what sadly was a bomb at the box office. I suppose a lot of money was pumped into this production due to it being produced in 3D. According to this site it cost $15 million to produce. The film only garnered in over $3 million at the US box office, which ain't bad, because it was the 80s and this was a cartoon.

            The big influence for this film was George Lucas' STAR WARS. Not to mention the opening credits are a little reminiscent of the STAR TREK films as well. Anyways it is the story of a slave named Orin (Joe Colligan) who along with his people spend their lives mining for crystals for Zygon (Anthony De Longis). Orin though finds the hilt of a mythical sword which only he can use. He escapes the underground to find what life looks like elsewhere. Along the way he meets a smuggler named Dagg (Carmen Argenziano), a couple of droids (Tyke Caravelli and Les Tremayne) and a beautiful princess (Noelle North). It must be sounding quite similar to STAR WARS now.

            It is a fun cartoon, although it is a little more adult orientated as it does have some sharp language and a little bit of sexuality blended in as well. It was rated PG for good reason.
