Star Wars Droids & Star Wars Rebels - animated series John has us take a look at two animated series based on the Star Wars property. The earliest example of animated Star Wars is the first thing we examine, Droids. The latest example we examine is Rebels. The Star Wars holiday special showcased an animated short featuring Boba Fett and was the first foray in animation with the property. Droids, set about a decade before A New Hope, follows R2D2 and C3P0 as they bumble across the universe falling into one adventure after another. Rebels, starting about 5 years prior to A New Hope, follows a group of mercenary smugglers as they shift from survival into full rebellion against the Empire. Droids isn’t readily available in a streaming or disc format, though you can find some episodes online. Rebels is available on iTunes, Amazon and on Disney XD.

New To You ep404: Part of a Complete Breakfast, pt4

DuckTales - original animated series and reboot series Brian’s pick is one of the most memorable Disney television animation series. Based on the comic and character by Carl Barks, DuckTales follows the adventures of money obsessed Scrooge McDuck. The original series had an impressive level of animation for television and put Disney TV squarely in the front for viewers. Spawning a couple spinoffs and a video game it was a smash It is a wonder that the series too so long to reboot. The new style is much more economical, modern yes, but not as richly animated as its predecessor. When Disney’s streaming service launches perhaps DuckTales will become more widely available, but for now you can find the original series on Amazon and the new series air on Disney XD and is on iTunes and Amazon digitally.  NEXT WEEK: We conclude with John pick, a pair of Star Wars animated series, one of the first and one of the most recent.

GLOW - the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling (documentary & netflix series) Keith’s pick explores a short-lived 80′s wrestling show and the netflix series that recently aired dramatizing it.   The series is funny and dark. The casting is great with lots of physical performances. The documentary is alright, it gives a glimpse at the world of the show from the perspective of the performers. The GLOW series is available on Netflix. The GLOW documentary is likewise up on Netflix. NEXT WEEK: Brian’s pick is up as we discuss the original DuckTales series and contrast it with the new DuckTales. You can follow us on twitter @newtoyoushow and you can leave comments down below!

New To You ep402: Part of a Complete Breakfast, pt2

Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits (album 1995) Season four kicks off with this pick from Jules of cartoon theme songs from some 70′s properties as covered by mid-nineties alternative rock bands.   The album had a TV special tie-in starring Drew Barrymore, which is around on YouTube if you want to dig it up.  There are a few good tracks in here. There are better covers by better bands, and better theme songs, but this is what they put together. This buried ‘gem’ of an album is not currently in print. eBay, amazon, or other resellers may have it. You can probably find it on YouTube. NEXT WEEK: We crack into a new pick!

New To You ep352: Looking Forward, Looking Back

Noel (animated TV special 1992) Our final episode with Dan is also his pick! And what a special and joyous way to spend our Christmas.   The Rankin & Bass production is cheap looking for early nineties animation. If it weren’t for the relationship of the writer to the production house I doubt this special would have been released.  Even with a sparse and limited subject matter, which is reflected in the still images we’re presenting here, the animation is very budget concious. This special is around online to watch, you can shell out for a VHS on amazon, or the Little Golden Book that accompanied the release of the special. NEXT WEEK: We close out the season and look forward to season four with a look back and a look forward. You can follow us on twitter @newtoyoushow and you can leave comments down below!

New To You ep351: Woe Yuletide Them Pt4

The Nutcracker 3d (movie 2010) Jules sure picked a winner this time... This is a tale of the rise of fascism and the blitz with a veneer of music and holiday magic.    The director felt that film can’t capture ballet so he avoided dancing, instead opting to shoehorn lyrics into the Tchaikovsky composition. I can’t imagine how they got Tim Rice to help with these clunky phrases.  The imagery is at times beautiful and often disturbing. This is a mess of a movie, it is like 3 half-movies and the corpse of a ballet smashed into one, so that means it’s a bargain on Bluray from Amazon or iTunes streaming!  Honestly though try not to pay to see this, and probably don’t waste your time. NEXT WEEK: We conclude on Christmas day with Dan’s pick Noel, a short animated TV special about an ornament that has a happiness.

New To You ep350: Woe Yuletide Them Pt3

The Ventures’ Christmas Album (1965) Holiday albums are amongst some of the top selling records of all time, which means lots of bands have a Christmas record. We are bombarded by them from the moment Halloween decorations leave the shelves. Keith’s pick is one of the few you may be able to stomach on repeat listen. The Ventures are a prolific & pioneering band, playing with pedals and effects to create sounds that to date had never been used in a music track. The band is made up of true craftsmen- they have the precision of the playing down pat and then become playful in mixing songs and genres. You can listen to the album on Spotify and purchase it on Amazon or iTunes. NEXT WEEK: We continue our topic with Jules’ pick, a movie that bombed, The Nutcracker in 3D.
