Highlander: A Série Animada

I enjoyed this more than the movie sequels (II, III and IV) and Raven. The cartoon had better character development and more plot depth. Set in a post apocalyptic earth. (After the other Highlander series and movies.)

In the story Ramirez takes under his wing a young boy named Quentin MacLeod and his little sister. Together they scour the land looking for Jettators (Highlanders that have taken an oath not to fight) that will pass on their knowledge to the young Highlander so he may finally confront his arch nemesis Kortan and bring peace to a land in turmoil.

Although a kid show, people actually die from time to time in it. This makes it more similar to anime' I suppose, without the dinner plate eyes.

As a huge fan of the Highlander franchise I found this series to be immensely disappointing. It is overly kid friendly and I mean for very young kids. It is extremely two dimensional. This is not only in its animation style but also with its characters. They lack depth, almost to the point of the characters just being silly. From episode to episode there is no character development. As such, each episode is essentially an independent story. For kids 5-8 yrs old their interest might be held. Unfortunately for more die hard Highlander fans, there can be only one, and I must say this is definitely not it.

theres a load of Highlander fans who see this series as a travesty but I found it kinda fun. In its own right it introduced the highlander mythos to an audience who might not know about the highlander movies. If you look at it as a seperate body its quite enjoyable and I was amused to see the main villain followed the formula of the main bad guy's name starting with K. All things being equal if yer a fan of the mythos then the series is at least worth a look tho HL purists my find it sort of lacking

This fun animated TV series may not be as good as the HIGHLANDER movies starring Christopher Lambert, but it's still very enjoyable. Each episode is non-stop animated fun. The show is like the movies except less violent because it is aimed at kids who watch the USA network. It follows the adventures of young Quentin MacLeod who I guess is somehow related to Duncan MacLeod in some way, but I don't know how. Just like in the movies, MacLeod always manages to save the day except this time there isn't any bloodshed. Sure, it mocks the violence of the movies, but that is why it's so enjoyable. It's good fun without too much violence and no blood or gore. Too bad it was canceled so quickly, it was one of the best shows during the 1994-1995 TV season.

When this cartoon came out on tv years ago i was hooked on it. The music, the animation, and the simple plots make it a must watch for non highlander fans who are too young to see the movies as well as the live action series. This show didn't last as long as the live action but spawned some merchandise.
