Description:
When the evil Beast Planet destroys the Planet Tek, only Princess Tekla escapes. She crashes on the distant Planet Ice and warns King Cryos and some raiders from Planet Rock of their imminent danger. Graveheart, a Stallone-type hero made of rock, swears to fight the menace. But defeating the Beast Planet's forces will require the four worlds of the solar system to abandon centuries of internecine warfare and unite. King Cryos and his feisty daughter travel with Graveheart to Planet Rock. King Mantle rejects the idea of an alliance and exiles Graveheart, but Graveheart's friend Jade joins the group. On Planet Fire, they recruit young Prince Pyrus, whose fiery hair unfortunately makes his head look like an unsuccessful flambé dessert. The dedicated cadre fights their first major battle on Planet Bone. King Femur, a leering Gremlins look-alike, tries to play both ends against the middle and finds himself attacked by Beast. This derivative motion-capture/computer-graphics series borrows heavily from the Star Wars films: Planet Ice looks like Hoth, Planet Rock resembles Tatooine, and the space battles with the Beast Drones are lifted from the attack on the Death Star. Rated "suitable for all ages," but violence and grotesque imagery are inappropriate for children under 8. Contains the first four episodes: 1. "Behold the Beast," 2. "On the Rocks," 3. "Born in Fire," 4. "Bad to the Bone." --Charles Solomon
