Description:
This animated show is only loosely based on the original Highlander series. In "The Chosen Highlander," the Highlanders have been waiting 700 years for their chosen one to defeat the evil Kortan. When Quentin MacLeod learns that he is that immortal Jettator, he embarks on a journey to free the just-captured Dundees and apprentices himself to the immortal Don Vincente Ramirez. Much like Yoda in the Star Wars movies, Ramirez helps Quentin develop both inner and physical strength, coaching him to rely on all his senses when he fights and teaching him the immense power of belief. Quentin experiences the lure of tyranny firsthand in "A Terrible Weapon" and realizes he has a lot to learn about himself and his powers. In "Stevenson," Quentin and Ramirez seek out a fellow Jettator who has been lured to the evil Kortan's side. In "A Trap," Quentin and Kortan duel in the Iron City. Quentin is struck blind and, after an initial victory, falls into a trap set by Kortan and his servant. Ramirez rescues Quentin and praises his quick learning, but proclaims him unprepared for the ultimate battle with Kortan. This high-quality, computer-animated movie about the strength of a chosen man in an apocalyptic world is both powerful and entertaining--it will have kids 6 and older fascinated for a full 77 minutes. Parents concerned about violence should, of course, be vigilant. --Tami Horiuchi
