AniMat’s insane animated feature The Cast: Stupid Old Death Bear (2022)
Synopsis
Four kids on their home planet make a mysterious discovery that lands them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in Skeleton Crew; and more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains the young Neel siblings is the same Chewbacca family watch from the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
The town they come from reminded me more of the ET
I watched the first two episodes and while there’s a clear effort to create a "space-sucking" show here, what’s wrong with that? It’s a much different take on a story that exists in the Star Wars universe. I liked the look and feel of the suburban town in this world, because we’ve never seen it before.
setting than anything we’ve seen in shows recently
The 4 main characters are typical but likable, each with their own well-defined roles in the group and are played well by the actors. The pirate vibe isn’t necessarily something we’ve seen before and adds a bit of a spooky element and an air of danger. If this were a 1980s movie, it would be appropriate.

So far, I’m enjoying the new storytelling elements of the Star Wars universe, the nostalgia for my childhood movies, and the fact that I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done! "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
