SW: Christmas Special

[pasithea]

valarltd linked to the animated segment of the Star Wars Christmas Special on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0QqVCAlT5s if you want to see it)

Haven't seen it since it originally aired on TV. I remember the live action parts being rather dumb but the cartoon is actually kind of cool and it gives Boba Fett his only decent role in the entire franchise.

I thought at first that the animation might have been some early Peter Chung work. The characters are kind of stylized with interestingly rubbery faces. Turns out that it was Nelvana, makers of Rock and Rule, Rome-0 and Julie-8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu01t-g6Egk) and some other fun stuff. It's kind of sad that Nelvana mostly did horrible Saturday Morning cartoons like 'The Raccoons' (complete with disgustingly uncircumcised penis-noses) they had the potential to do so much more.

That animation was the only tolerable portion of that movie. Everything else about it felt like I was being visually molested by a dirty uncle.

There is nothing wrong with me that a few million dollars wouldn't fix. If you'd give me a few million dollars, I could prove this for you.
