    It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

    This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

    Galaxy High was an 80s cartoon which centred upon the antics of two humans: a girl named Aimme and a guy named Doyle, who attend a high school in outer space named 'Galaxy High'. Thus, the two couldn't be any more different. Before they arrived, Aimme was not having the best of both worlds, whilst Doyle was the popular and cool one, but by the time they arrive on another planet, Doyle and Aimme's lives are reversed- hence, she was now well loved and respected by the kids at Galaxy High and Doyle was very much dismissed as an idiot and is subjected to various taunts by a bully going by the name of Beef Bunk and his bully cronies. They of whom go out of their way to make Doyle's life as a student hell on earth- no make that, hell on galaxy high. Though all is not lost as he eventually befriends a six arm geek, Milo De Venus. The school itself has its interesting set of alien characters in all shapes and sizes, all with numerous sets of personalities.This cartoon isn't so much a depiction of what life would be like living and working in another planet; it is mainly about the trials and tribulations of two human beings in Doyle and Aimme and their attempts in fitting in with the so-called 'crowd' and acclimatising to their new found life in outer space.I am still bewildered as to why this show didn't last as long as it should've done- in fact, it is bewildering, as well as a travesty to say the least that many great 80s cartoons only lasted a few seasons.This was funny, fun and very, very original and the characters and the design of the characters and the futuristic settings were the most creative and inventive around. Saturday mornings were never the same again once Galaxy High and many other cartoons went off the air during the 1980s and early 90s. The synth title theme tune with the vocoder-like vocals rocked too.Overall, Galaxy High was a great animated show and one worth purchasing on DVD. Though I wished this would come out in the shops here in the UK.

    Nearly 20 years after I saw the first episode on television, I still enjoy this cartoon. The characters - both main and supporting - are colorful, and while some of them are more defined than others, none of them is perfect. Doyle could be conceited and petty, and Aimee could be jealous and easily impressed. But that's what made these characters so much fun. They were not the goody-goods that seemed to populate many cartoons of that (and this) era.Favorites of the series include "Dollars and Sense", where Aimee is swept off her feet by rich playboy Reggie Unicycle; "The Beef Who Would Be King", a standout funny episode that's mostly an examination of the rivalry between Doyle and school bully Beef; and "Beach Blanket Blow-Up", something of a takeoff of the old Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello beach party movies.The show isn't about accurate science (there's hardly any), and while it sports a synth-heavy 80s soundtrack, it's not about music, either. It's really about alienation - of Earthlings in an intergalactic school, of teenagers among adults, and of girls among boys (and vice versa).It's a shame there are so few of these episodes, and that there's no DVD release. My tapes are getting pretty worn.

    I cannot believe this cartoon was made so few times! I must have seen every episode ten times! Not because it was my favorite, it's just because it was on every saturday for like 10 years! Well close enough anyway! The theme tune was brilliant and so were the characters! Doyle I felt sorry for! I know, I know it's just a cartoon but a phrase reversed "From hero to zero!!!" ha ha ha ha ha!!!
