Titan A.E. Toys Review, Epic Sci-Fi Action

[@Edwicker]

Loved that movie. Big Don Bluth fan my entire life. I did get some of those toys back in the day. I think when I went and saw that movie at the cinema, it was just me and my friend, which made me sad. I wanted it to do well, but unfortunately it bombed. Thanks for bringing back memories of good times, buddy. ☺ P.S. Yes, that friend was Bellarus. We've known each other for a long time.

I specifically had that Cale Tucker figure with the orange accents on the arms and boots. I was a poor kid, so I believe I had that one and one of the Drej. Was more a collectible purchase. Was kind of growing out of the playing with action figures phase of my childhood, but I thought they looked so cool, I just had to at least have a couple. Man, that was back when I was 12. Now I'm 36. What a nostalgia trip.

Great to hear from you! I've always been a Don Bluth fan, but missed the toys the first time around living in a small place at the time. Now that I have more space (pun intended) & saw these were not at all expensive on E-Bay, I was picking up about 1 per paycheck. Better late than never, having grown to appreciate the flick even more.

@@Aegelis When I was very small, I use to watch The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven constantly. As I grew older, I fell in love with The Secret of Nimh, which scared me when I was too young, but it is now one of my favorite films. I also consider An American Tail to be one of the most original animated films of all time. A story of a foreign family of mice traveling to America, just very interesting concept. Once Bluth left Disney, he just produced some very different animated films that broke the ideals that we were use to. I just wish that the producers didn't hold him back so much. He was constantly being overruled with his films, especially The Land Before Time, which was not suppose to have dialogue and was suppose to tell the story solely through the animation. We also have him to thank for Dragon's Lair, which was a game that look like no other in the early 80s. He is just a master of his craft and truly loves animation.

@@Edwicker I haven't seen Secret of Nimh yet, though I think we have it since it's one of my wife's favourites. I was big into Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, especially when CrossGen rebooted the comics in early 2000's but both only made about 4 issues. Off-the-chain imagination stuff, though the gameplay wasn't really there in the initial games despite the amazing look.

@@Aegelis Well, it was the early 80s. They were competing with Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, so that nice animation was very eye-catching in the arcade, and if you memorized them and could beat them on one go through without dying, you were the man for the next 30 mins. Someone might even buy you a soda. XD
