Supercar - The Complete Series Reviews
Scariest looking puppet - EVER..
This is the worst of the Gerry Anderson "Supermarianation" shows. But I guess not every show can't be Thunderbirds. Supercar has one of the ugliest puppets ever created as the "star" of the show. The episodes that I watched were very boring and kids will find this show unwatchable.
Get Thunderbirds instead...
The Marvel of the Age
The 'sixties opened with some great cartoons: The Bugs Bunny Show, The Flntstones, and this odd non-cartoon from Britain, which seemed to be puppets, or marionetttes (you could see the strings), excitingly more real than cartoons, with futuristic styling, a haunting theme, and the lure for Americans of being British. It was filmed in Supermarionation, whatever that was, and it absolutely caught on, and had the yanks clamoring for more. Plenty more was in store, including the state of the art Thunderbirds, but here's where it all began. These absolutely beautiful black and white prints recreate all the indefinable magic of what remains a compelling and creative show. This is the textbook for how it's done, and the dialogue and writing are just a marvel. How many viewers did this show lure into animation with a stop action 8 mm camera and a toy plane? How many Supercar toys and games made the colonies absolute addicts for Gerry Anderson's many endeavors to come? 39 remastered episodes on 5 discs, plus extras, of the Marvel of the Age.
