Trivia

The last cartoon produced by Filmation. The company was purchased by L'Oreal, who closed the studio down because they were only interested in the animation library. At the time, two new series were in production: 'Bugzburg' (a spin-off from Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night (1987)) and 'Bravo', a spin-off of BraveStarr that focused on the Prairie People.

Goofs

In spite of there being more than enough evidence to convict Tex Hex and his gang, they aren't arrested and imprisoned.

User Reviews

Was bolder than most other cartoons of the time

BraveStarr was the only cartoon I remember to show someone, a child no less, die of a drug overdose. Most other cartoons had a kid drawn into drugs by some sleazy, awful looking guy, massively OD, than make a complete recovery with no ill effects, just in time to say, "I'm sure glad I learned my lesson," before the end of the show. BraveStarr's "drug episode" had a pretty cool looking, suave guy convincing a kid to steal from his mother in order to buy the drugs, showed the kid's transition from handsome, healthy young lad to burned-out junkie, and then showed him die when he finally OD'd. If I saw that episode today, I might see that it isn't as good as I thought it was when I was a kid, but, darn it, it DID hit me hard and make me think when I was eight and that was the point. For that, I will always hold BraveStarr a little higher in regard than the other cartoons of the period.
