BraveStarr (Season 1)

BraveStarr (1987) is a space-western cartoon you can watch online on iFILM. It drops the frontier of the Old West onto a distant world called New Texas, where starships share dusty streets with saloons and shootouts.

Marshal BraveStarr, a Native American lawman with a fierce sense of right and wrong, keeps order on that wild frontier mostly on his own. His edge comes from four animal spirits he can summon at will — strength of the bear, ears of the wolf, speed of the puma, eyes of the hawk. Standing against him are local outlaws and the villainous Tex Hex, who's after the planet's deposits of a rare mineral. Pat Fraley, Charlie Adler and Alan Oppenheimer lend the voices.

This is late-era Filmation, from the same crew behind He-Man, running 65 episodes that each close on a small, earnest lesson. It's pure nostalgia for anyone raised on 1980s Saturday-morning TV, and an oddball discovery for kids today. Stream every episode of BraveStarr online on iFILM.
