In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

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.

This was never a popular show but I was re-introduced to it recently while on vacation at my parents' house over the holidays. I taped about ten episodes of the series and watched them back to back one rainy day, sitting on the couch with a salad bowl full of sugary cereal, like I was a kid again.Well, of course some of the appeal is lost as you grow up but like most things you remember fondly from growing up, much endures.This was a great cartoon. At the time I was a big Anime fanatic and was totally engrossed in cartoons such as Robotech, Star Blazers, Voltron, etc. The quality of japanese animation was vastly superior to the garbage being churned out in american cartoons by and large.But a few american cartoons stuck out because they had great storylines and treated kids with respect. So many cartoons then and now treat kids like they're stupid. Look at some of the better cartoons such as Muppet Babies, Bionic Six and Galaxy High. These cartoons went beyond ultra black and white/good vs evil themes. The humor was varied, often sarcastic and often tied into other culture archetypes both pop and historical. The characters were distinctive in personality and not just colored some other shade of neon blah. The stories were rarely preechy but even shows like muppet babies didn't take themselves too seriously.Of course, we see a lot of this stuff in more recent Disney movies so as to keep the adults entertained as well as the kids, but Disney didn't invent it - not by a long shot.So seeing these cartoons 15 years later, what can I say? Well, there's too much sound. Backround music is playing constantly and it tends to irritate after awhile. As a kid I don't remember this but it's definately noticeable now. Some of the voices are also a bit too harsh as well. But hey, I think that's me getting old more than anything else.Some time around 1994 or so Galaxy High played on the Sci-fi channel and I was able to snap up a few more episodes. I think at this point I'm missing only two or three. Reviewing the episode list I think I've only never seen one episode.

Doyle and Aimee were the exchange students to Galaxy High. The roles reversed at Galaxy High; Doyle was unpopular and Aimee found the weird alien creatures inviting. Aimee made friends with Booie Bubblehead (if she stayed in the sun too long, she suffered brain damage with her transparent bubblehead), Gilda Gossip (voiced by Nancy Cartwright, now famous as Bart Simpson) and vamp Wendy Garbo. Doyle is harrassed by the sensational group of bullies, Beef (a red chicken fellow whose catchphrase is "Earth stinks!" and called Doyle "Earthworm!"), Roland Rotten Egg and the subtly scene stealing Earl, a green blob (in a visit to the Disneyworld place, the little green blob is sporting a pair of black mouse ears. Too funny!). Doyle is left to become friends with the multi armed Milo de Venus, the rotund nerd and they have to work at the pizza shop. The last stand-out character was the Creep, a flying yellow sponge puff with big feet who croons like Perry Como and falls in love with any girl who notices him. Much of the adult crowd, such as faculty, were cliches, but the "students" more than made up for that. This cartoon, like Dungeons and Dragons, was just too good to be true. Amazing that much of what passes for mature cartoons now is still on a juvenile level while Galaxy High and Dungeons and Dragons were aimed at higher audiences than grammar school age, obviously. And when these shows had the slightest hint of failure in ratings, it was concluded they weren't what people wanted. Other good jokes; the talking lockers (those were grand!), a teacher shows the class how to make ice scream by squeezing the ice cube while Doyle runs from Beef and his gang behind her, "Land Shark! Everybody into the water!", and the Gym's name was Jim of course. An absolutely favourite episode was Doyle and MIlo baby sitting alien kids. A really cute talking baby with tentacles who grabbed anyone who went by and a lizard girl with a blonde haired, blue eyed baby doll were hysterical.If Galaxy High airs anywhere soon, record the episodes to keep.
