Fan Page: BLACKSTAR



Conversations I have had with various people about Blackstar lead me to believe that it was a cartoon suffering from TMIS (Too Many Ideas Syndrome), but it WORKED. At least for one season. And that's because everybody took something different away from it. It was a He-Man show. It was a Smurfs show. It was an outer-space show. It was a Conan-esque Fantasy show.

Whatever it was to you, feel free to leave your own thoughts about it in the comments below. And if it happened to be one of your favorites, be sure to go vote for it in our Best Cartoon of 1981 Poll!

If it were a scent, it would be known as "The Filmation Funk" :)

I could just tell it was Filmation. It has that essence.

Because you lead a sheltered life full of intellectual pursuits?

PERHAPS (well, at one point. Not so much anymore).

It was a damn shame they never crossed this cartoon over with He-Man.
