View MoreIt'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.
View MoreThe Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin is a fantastic TV show that all ages can get enjoyment out of. The story is very well thought out and the characters are lovable. The story focuses on Teddy and Grubby as they try to get the 6 crystals. As they do this, Tweeg, a wimpy villain, and his bounder L.B, also try to get the crystals so they can become filthy rich. At the same time, they try to get into the M.A.V.O. (Monsters and villains organization). The show also has some very heartfelt moments, such as when Teddy returns home and when he reunites with his father, and when Tweeg reunites with his dad and goes surfing with him. The animation is very good for being made 30 years ago, and the backgrounds look stunning. The songs are also very good, and can be catchy and touching, such as the song "Freedom". Overall, I give this a 10/10. It's an amazing and engaging series that I can recommend to anyone.
View MoreI can't believe that it is almost 20 years, since the Teddy Ruxpin idea first surfaced. The 1986-1987 TV cartoon series was what got me hooked on the phenomenon. It is sad that it lasted only one year and new episodes never came to be to continue the adventures of the Illiop and his friends. It is very sure that Quellor and MAVO would have continued their quest to stop Teddy from achieving the goal of getting the seven crystals back to the Hard-To-Find City. Also, I have to assume that Teddy's new quest was to find all the other Illiops in the world to unify against what could be "the world's ultimate evil." The ancient writings are the clue to my assumption.Anyway, in a remote sense, the show may return to the TV and, maybe, be made into DVD.
View MoreOh, wow, I can't believe how long ago it was that I watched this. I think I caught the series in bits and pieces during several repetitions on a Canadian station we got from over the border on an antenna. I barely remember the show, except for the name of the protagonist and the way the other semi-heros of the show looked, but I miss it so much now. I don't think I ever appreciated it enough when I was younger. Teddy Ruxpin was one of perhaps two cartoons I watched that had a coherent storyline -- something I'm constantly searching for in comics and TV shows now. The other one was the excellent but ill-marketed cartoon Droids, which was written for a Star Wars audience of perhaps 10 or 11, but shown along with an unfocused Ewoks cartoon best for 5 or 6 year olds.Teddy Ruxpin was, essentially, a good show, perfectly suitable for very young kids early on and then better for somewhat older kids as the solid storyline emerged. It was rather well-drawn, neither as stiff and careful as the old Transformers cartoon or as "loose" with form as current cartoons tend to be. I don't remember it being especially "funny," like Inspector Gadget, but it wasn't as preachy about things as Captain Planet or Care Bears could be. What it was, was an engaging, well-written cartoon that could hold interest without touching the throw-away or beat-until-dead jokes of most cartoons.I find myself wishing this cartoon had continued for several more years, as I look back and see the kind of influence this - one of my best-remembered and most-favored cartoons of my young childhood - had on my interests and hobbies up to this day.

Sadly it was cancelled in 1988, after only a year of being broadcast, due to the stock market fall, that put Worlds Of Wonder Entertainment Out of business.
