Invasión América

Invasion America was one of the best examples of animated primetime drama it has ever been my privilege to witness.One can only hope that this series was only the first of many programs of this calibre.I salute the screenwriter's talent;the plot was absolutely superb!May this series return for many more seasons.

Invasion America was the first prime time animated dramatic mini-series, but set itself apart in more ways than that. Produced by Steven Spielberg (E.T., Jurassic Park) and Harve Bennett (Star Trek), and voiced by Timothy Daly (From the Earth to the Moon) and Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) it set new standards in animation, science fiction, and dramatic story telling. In the six, forty-five minute episodes it takes time to tell the story from the first book (of five?) there are a few spots where the dialogue could be better, or where the plot could be stronger, but these are few and far between. The story ends strong with a few good strings where the next story will pick up. Overall an excellent mini-series!

I don't remember this series too well, since it aired some years ago, and I havent been able to see it since. But, I do remember it being a great great series, one of the few decent things to come out of American animation studios lately (they're too taking perfectly good anime and screwing them up to make them bad for the American audience). While much could be said about plot holes and stuff like that, I won't say it, because not everything needs to be analyzed that closely. This show got me really excited and interested, and i was glued to the set while it was on... The only problem with the show is that it ended almost without being expected to... it didnt end as neatly and cleanly as a TV miniseries should, and it really really should have returned the next summer. I remember that last night, seeing the final screen "end of book one" and waiting, wondering why there was never an ep saying "beginning book two"...

Invasion America was really great! I watched it thinking it might be alright. I thought it was going to be a tv video. Then they talked about the next episode, so I thought it was a series. I started to love the show, and then all of a sudden they say that they wrapping up the series, and I found out that it was actually just a miniseries. But anyway, it almost as cool as Star Wars. The story was ingenius. If you get the chance to see this, please do!

Invasion America made its way to Australia in a post-midnight timeslot and I was keen to see this work of Harve Bennett (who was heavily involved with the Star Trek movies). For an animated series it was pretty good and kept up the interest factor for me. The best thing about the series were the visuals, with a lot of attention paid to small details and crisp, clean artwork (done on computers presumably).

It was probably aimed at a teenage audience, but for this type of show you can't ask for much more. I'm still surprised it surfaced here, with all the stuff that never makes it (and I consequently never hear of until browsing forums).
