That was an excellent one.

Memorable, crazy movie

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A primetime animated show that's not the Simpsons is a rare thing. "Invasion America" has a good basis, and a very talented cast - I'm BEYOND happy to see that it consists of REAL voice acting veterans like Kath Soucie and Jim Cummings, rather than relying on a cast entirely of celebrities, though Leonard Nimoy makes a great Konrad.However, I find that the show is lacking in some places. First and foremost, I was expecting some cutting edge animation - real flashy, maybe even anime-style stuff. Instead, what I got was rather second-rate stuff, of lower quality that one might see on a high-end Saturday morning cartoon (I was at LEAST expecting stuff up to the quality of "Gargoyles"). The lighting and colouring is trying to be atmospheric, but just winds up making it look rather obscure. Also, the CGI, while nicely done, was seriously out of place.The dialogue needed some help, too, although the actual language of the aliens was rather well implemented. I usually hate that sort of thing, but it didn't bother me here.If you're a fan of animation, you should give the show a look. Outside of things like "Beast Wars," "Beast Machines" and "X-Men Evolution," very little enjoyable, watchable animation has come out of American studios in recent years (this whole "Anime" thing that's everywhere you go now...).

Technically, Invasion America was fairly impressive. It appeared to be an attempt to translate Japanese animation techniques onto North American television. In that, it was relatively successful.Unfortunately, the plot resembled something out of a B-movie. David is a young man with an alien heritage who discovers that his uncle is planning to invade America. During his quest, he finds a presidential fort WITHOUT a working fence, asteroids that hit the earth causing explosions only slightly larger than the rocks themselves, a character who can apparently read subtitles, and villains who conveniently speak in English to each other whenever an earthling is around.If there hadn't been so much to laugh at, this would have truly been a groundbreaking series. Sadly, at best it is a curiosity.

Invasion America was the first prime time animated dramatic mini-series, but set itself apart in more ways than that. Produced by Steven Spielberg (E.T., Jurassic Park) and Harve Bennett (Star Trek), and voiced by Timothy Daly (From the Earth to the Moon) and Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) it set new standards in animation, science fiction, and dramatic story telling. In the six, forty-five minute episodes it takes time to tell the story from the first book (of five?) there are a few spots where the dialogue could be better, or where the plot could be stronger, but these are few and far between. The story ends strong with a few good strings where the next story will pick up. Overall an excellent mini-series!

Invasion America was one of the best examples of animated primetime drama it has ever been my privilege to witness.One can only hope that this series was only the first of many programs of this calibre.I salute the screenwriter's talent;the plot was absolutely superb!May this series return for many more seasons.
