Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The jackson five cartoon is great. And the first episode titled it all started is my favroite episode of all the episodes shown. I wish the cartoon network would add it to there line up it would be great. I would watch it when ever its on.

First there was the Beatles cartoon. I couldn't wait to hear the songs on the show. When the J-5ive came out I went WILD. Not long after,The Osmond Brothers had a competing show and we used to debate who was better,Michael or Donny Osmond. Some of the stories were hokie,but enjoyable. There was an episode showing how Diana Ross discovered the J-5. That is purely Motown myth. Ross never discovered the Jackson 5,she only introduced them on their public unveiling.

The Jackson 5ive.........Marlon, Micheal, Tito, Randy, Jermaine.I'm surprised that this isn't out on video,but it was a gem of a Saturday Morning classic cartoon that was on ABC-TV during the early 1970's. This Rankin-Bass/Motown production showcased the brothers at their prime even though some of the episodes were a bit cheesy,but they were fun and enjoyable. Before the end of the show,the brothers would go on to sing several of the songs with a bit of psychedelic format added in(the songs today are standard classics like "I'll Be There","Sugar Daddy","The Love You Save Maybe Your Own"),and so many more. One episode in particular shows how the brothers were discovered by Diana Ross and were brought to Motown by founder Berry Gordy.I'm surprised that it is not on any cable channel. The last time I saw it was during TV Land's retro Saturday(which showed countless lost cartoons from the early 60's,70's,and 80's),and further back years ago on BET.

The Jackson 5--Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael--provided their own voices for this popular Saturday morning cartoon. Most of the episodes followed the brothers around as they went from one concert stop to the next. Since Michael was the cute little brother, the storylines usually involved some time of trouble he'd get himself into and he'd have to ask his brothers to help out. The episodes are are a time capsule of their late 1960's and early 1970's hits, including "I Want You Back", "Sugar Daddy", and "Stop! The Love You Save (May Be Your Own)". The shows were bright with psychedelic colors, especially during the musical segments.One episode was a highly fictionalized version of how Diana Ross "discovered" the group and brought them to the attention of then Motown president, Berry Gordy.
