OUR REVIEW:
An experience probably dependent on one's fondness for Orko's Uncle Montork, we found this episode to be very entertaining, the new villain Tauron menacing, and all the great new animation puts it over the top. Plus lots of Talon Fighter shots! (9/10)
Comment, Review and Discuss below:
Tomorrow’s Episode is: “The Defection”
Tauron the true inventor of iPad! This ep blows The Return of Orko’s Uncle to pieces. Rock solid.
Stupendous episode right? Montork and his pet Gark are fabulous. I love that Montork is more like Orko in this episode. You can tell they are related. We find out that Battle Cat bites when he chomps the Manticore tale. Lol. Tauron is an amazing character. 10/10
The wizard has a great LOTR feel to its animation. It makes me crave for an old skool animated He-Man movie. That ship has sailed because animation has changed but it would have been nice.
If I could describe this episode in one word, it would be cute.
3 stars. A far better episode then the other motork one. The villans demise is rather scary looking for this cartoon.
