Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders: Wizard's Peak: Digiview has officially moved themselves up from the one dollar line all the way up to $4 for their new, officially licensed BKN cartoons. While the last bunch, Roswell and Skysurfer, remained at $1, for some reason Digiview felt that this series was more demanding of a somewhat higher release and even put it in a full sized white case to boot! They also cut the BKN promos if they weren't cut already, yet failed to synch the cover name to the video which identifies the show as "Starla & the Jewel Riders."

I really wish that they had left this release at the $1 price point as I wouldn't feel so bad about the money I wasted. That's right, the series was one of the worst pieces of garbage animation ever. First they used every cliche of what is supposed to attract young females: cute talking animals, simplistic plots about friendship and the mandatory pink and purple color palette. Of course, they even went one further and added the ultimate little girl attracting element: a pegasus unicorn!

What plot of the show there is basally is about a quest to get some sort of jewels that Merlin lost in a fight with the villain, Lady Kale. They have run ins with the bad guys and ride their unicorns, discuss outfits and basically make every male in the audience lose their lunch. I can take She-Ra, which this show does its best to imitate by the way, and yet I just can't stomach this.
