Filmmation, the animation studio that gave the syndicated television world "He Man and the Masters of the Universe," produced this animated feature, which saw limited theatrical release before beating a hasty retreat to the home video shelves. Set in a science-fiction universe where high technology is combined with the icons of the Old West, the film features a cowboy named BraveStarr who must save planet New Texas from the villainous Stampede, a sci-fi cattle baron, and his enforcer, Tex Hex, who are determined to rule the universe. Together with his trusted companions Thirty-Thirty (a robot horse), J.B. (a lady judge), sidekick Deputy Fuzz, and mystic mentor Shaman, BraveStarr does battle with the forces of evil. Lackluster television-style animation and obvious borrowing from sources as diverse as "Gunsmoke" and STAR WARS conspired to make this a failure at the box office.
