5.0 out of 5 stars Pryde of the X-Men is X-citing!, June 18, 2002

This review is from: X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Made in 1989, Marvel comics decided to give it's most profitable comic book (X-Men) the animation treatment. In Pryde of the X-Men, Marvel took the 'Wizard of Oz Approach' to storytelling as we see a new-comer to the X-Ranks in the character Kitty Pryde. Kitty is born a mutant who finds she can walk through walls. Scared and confused by her mutantcy, Kitty is sent a letter to attend the Xavier Institute to learn how to control her mutant abilities. It is here that she (and we) are introduced to the X-Men. A group of persons who share a similar past. Like Kitty, they too were born with wonderous powers. The welcome is short lived though as the evil Magneto breaks into the X-Mansion where the X-Men live and steals a powerful computer circuit. The X-Men and Kitty Pryde must find out why and stop Magneto's terrible scheme. Made with an animation style that mirrored successful cartoons such as G.I. Joe and Thundercats, Pryde of the X-Men had a great visually appealing look. Although this was the only episode made, audiences were not to wait too long for more adventures from the merry mutants. In 1992 and 2000 the X-Men were re-introduced to new generations of fans. I highly recommend this adventurous video.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for X-men fans, July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Pryde of the X-Men [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For any xmen animated series fans, Pryde of the X-men is a must have item. Done with amazing quality, it's a shame that the current series doesn't follow this avant-premiere movie. It's a classical X-men team, with the heroes who give the group his fame... END

This review is from: X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was the first x-men video ever made. It had lots of action,cool mutant powers and evil mutants trying to destroy man kind. Who will stop these evil mutants? Who else the x-men! The powers of the x-men: Cyclops can shoot destructive beams of energy from his eyes,the Dazzler cand turn sound into lazer blasts,Nightcrawler has mastered the power of teleportation,Colossus is strong and he can turn himself in to steel and is imposible to be harmed,Wolverine has razor sharp claws that can cut through any thing known to man,Storm can controll weather,the newist member of the team Kitty Pryde can walk through solid objects and finally Professor Charles Xaiver can controll peoples minds. Now the powers of the brotherhood of evil mutants: Magneto can controll meatle,Toad posseses great agility,Juggernaut has great strength,Pyro can controll fire,the Blob has no mutant powers but yet he is strong and finally the White Queen she has telepathic abillity. I have the video in mint condition up stairs in my room in a 1 dollar display case next to my vcr.
