Movie Review: **The Ewok Adventure

This is a made for TV movie which was first aired in 1984.  Again it is geared to the child movie goer.  Tony's loves this one as well, but his favorite scene from these two is still the Ewok sitting on the ember and burning his bum. 

The Ewok Adventure actually aired before the Battle for Endor.  It was on the other side of the DVD from the library.   The family is ship wrecked, and the parents are captured by a giant ogre type monster.  The two children, little girl and her older brother, recruit the Ewoks to help in the rescue.

The theme of the movie is the older brother accepting the help of "lower ranking creatures".  This is lower ranking in terms of their technology.  The brother has to learn that the Ewoks offer wisdom, and a knowledge that he does not quite understand.  Of course they rescue the parents, but only after the less on is learned.

Of the two movies, I prefer the Battle for Endor, but like I said, this movie is also very entertaining for children.  I have brought it home from the library, so it is still available in some circles.
