Well, it's really interesting and a coincidence that as soon as RipRoarRex posted some of his older art to his new website, that there was a giant stompy horse by the name of Marco (which I'd bet a lot of kruft on is a play on 'macro'). I think it may also be more than a coincidence that he has more than a passing resemblance to Thirty/Thirty, probably the sexiest character Filmation ever created. 
Yes, it's a horse like Thirty/Thirty that can really burst my nipples, I gotta tell you. I don't often go for horses...I almost always prefer toes on the giant feets that are stompin' me...but for certain ones, drawn in certain styles...damn, I'm too overcome by other things to worry about the fact that it's a solid hoof coming down. 
So, naturally, I picked up the DVD at Best Buy Browse on the way home from work, and I've already watched the first DVD, which is the intro movie that Filmation originally made. And goddamn, yes, Thirty/Thirty is still as friggin' hot as ever. I'll be posting stills from the DVD of him probably tomorrow, since I have the day off.
Apart from Thirty/Thirty, there's actually quite a bit of macro stuff in the movie. Lots of sizeplay, and although I have a special place in my heart for the spaceship animation in the Filmation Flash Gordon cartoon series as being some of the absolute coolest animation of my childhood, now that I'm seeing BraveStarr again, and probably because it was one of the later Filmation cartoons (the movie was in 1987), I have to admit that for a Filmation series, it's pretty good. There's still a few of the Filmation trademarks -- the sequences where it was like the editor had epilepsy and you get 1/2 second clips of action jumbled together, and the use of stills and animation re-use, but not as much as in earlier Filmation works. Shoot, I think if you had 5 episodes of Flash Gordon and a computer video editing system you could make all the rest of the episodes in the entire series. :) Not so much with Bravestarr, at least not with the pilot movie...I have yet to review the episodes on the other disc in the package, though, where I'd wager there is more animation re-use.
Another interesting thing is how you'd never see a cartoon like this created now, with today's Morality(tm). Guns everywhere, villains smoking stogies, but yet...no booze in the neo-techno-western towns. I'd wager that since it relied heavily on Native American influences, the creators decided that having booze would be quite a faux pas...I'm about to watch the movie again with the commentary, so maybe Lou will explain that.
Anyway, as I eluded to earlier, something tells me that it's going to be no surprise to hear that RipRoarRex and Canaan both were well-versed in Thirty/Thirty growing up. And if this is news to either of you...damn, you have got to see his sexy ass. And stills don't do him justice -- I think I'll post some animation clips of him as well. And yes, he even says, "There's stompin' to be done!" at one point in the movie. 
So see? It's not always about the giant dinosaurs and dragons for me.
