He is in the cast of Crazy Cartoon AniMat: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Tale
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in Skeleton Crew and other stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s younger siblings is the same one Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978). While Skeleton Crew is aimed at kids to attract the next generation of Star Wars fans, it surprisingly appeals to an older audience as well. In this Star Wars series, four children discover a spaceship buried in the forest on Attin, a peaceful and prosperous planet hidden in a galaxy full of pirates, greed and chaos.
Luckily the ship has a battered droid to help guide them
The children dream of adventures – at least some – accidentally activate a ship and find themselves lost on the other side of the galaxy. But because the children lived in the shelter, they often got into trouble. Although it’s clearly Star Wars, Skeleton Crew feels like an 80s kids’ adventure movie — think The Goonies — but set in space. For longtime fans, it’s full of nostalgia, from the equipment and spaceships to the alien creatures, all reminiscent of the original trilogy. Die-hard fans will also love the many Easter eggs scattered throughout the film that bring back fond memories of the franchise’s early days.
The young actors, although less experienced, do a decent job
I especially appreciated seeing younger versions of the various alien species we’ve seen from previous films. It makes the galaxy feel more connected, showing that some of the alien races are a permanent presence rather than a one-off. There are also some fun cameos, such as a brief look at a boy who looks like a young Kylo Ren. These little details keep you on edge and wanting to see more Jude Law, the biggest star of the cast, doesn’t appear until the end of the second episode, so it’s hard to judge the overall quality of the acting at first. The two main kids stand out and remind me of their performances in classics like The Goonies and Stand By Me.
Despite these concerns, Skeleton Crew was a pleasant surprise
One of the four children is an inhuman alien, making their acting difficult to judge, and another wears a cybernetic visor that obscures most facial expressions, reminiscent of Star Trek’s Geordi La Forge. The production quality is top notch and Disney’s budget is clearly visible. The special effects are flawless, so there is nothing to criticize. However, the episodes are quite short, and the long credits – more than five minutes – seem excessive. With only eight episodes into the season, I’m concerned that the plot may not move forward unless the pace picks up significantly.
It is funny, nostalgic and engaging for viewers of all ages
I’m excited about where the story is going and I’m glad it offers something for adult fans of the Star Wars universe. Refresh your watch list with the latest list of streaming movies and TV shows coming to Disney+, including old favorites and the best new releases.
