Customer Reviews of Starchaser Legend of Orin

Great for Sci-Fi Animation Fans
I almost had a chance to see Starchaser on the big screen, but it seemed to have disappeared from existence before I made it to the theater. Years later I happened to catch it at a video store and boy was I glad I did. This movie is great fun to watch. It seems to have a wonderful mix of a well developed background and characters with a rather simplistic plot that has been seen in different forms since the 50's Saturday matinees. <

>The characters are colorful and fun to watch. You get some great voice acting on this film. Dag, the scoundrel type, is a cool mix of James Dean and Han Solo and the ship's computer... well... imagine C-3PO in spaceship form. I know it sounds like this movie is a Star Wars knock off, and maybe in a few ways it is. But keep in mind Star Wars is a knock off of those Saturday matinees I mentioned previously so ultimately the content has been classic long before Lucas got his hands on it. <

>The animation is reminiscent to Heavy Metal or Rock and Rule, but seems more polished than the former in my opinion. It's not up to Disney standards, but it's a far cry from what most animation houses were making at that time. Another cool thing is they incorperated computer wireframe animation and rotoscoped it to give the spaceships more fluid movement. Tres' cool. <

>To be honest forget looking for this thing on VHS now that the DVD is out. The DVD version has nice clean audio and you get the see the film in widescreen format. Also it's priced to move. The really isn't any reason to purchase the VHS. I think Starchaser: The Legend of Orin is probably best suited for fans of science fiction animation, as the average viewer might not "get it". Then again maybe more people than I give credit for will really get into this movie. Either way I loved it and definitely recommend anybody to check it out.

The greatest animated feature of all time
This film has to be one of the best classic animated features ever made. The animation was ausome for its time and the story line really takes you places. I grew up watching this film so it has a lot of memories attached to it. I can't stress how much it needs to be released on DVD. I would definately be first in line to buy it.

Great Movie with elements from Star Wars
Saw this film on video. Definitly needs to be released on DVD. This is a great movie with a powerful story. The animation is top notch for it's time and it holds up very well. The character development is great and the action is well displayed. You can see other Science Fiction movies that have borrowed elements from this one, like it has with Star Wars. I would be first in line to purchase this when it comes to DVD.
