Four kids on their home planet make a mysterious discovery that leaves them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" and more stars from a galaxy far, far away. AniMat’s crazy cartoon Starring: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022). I watched the first two episodes and while there’s a clear effort to create a "goonies in space" show here, what’s so wrong with it? It’s a much different take on the story that exists in the Star Wars universe. I enjoyed the look and feel of what a suburban town would look like in this world, as we’ve never seen one. The town they come from reminded me more of the neighborhood in E.T. than anything we’ve seen in shows recently. The 4 main characters are typical but likable, they each have their own clearly defined roles in the group, and the actors play them well. The pirate vibe isn’t necessarily something we’ve seen before, and it adds a bit of a spooky element and an air of danger. If this were an ’80s movie, it would have fit in. So far, I’m enjoying it for the new storytelling elements in the Star Wars universe, the nostalgia from the movies from my childhood, and the fact that I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done! Refresh your watch list with the latest streaming movies and TV shows coming to Disney+, featuring old favorites and great newcomers.
