Movie Review: **^Star Wars Ewok Adventures: The Battle for Endor

This is a made for t.v. movie released in 1985.  This movie is not near as good as I remember it.  Most of the humor is geared at preschool age.  My son Tony watched it at three and a half, and he responded appropriately.  He laughs when Wicket burns his back side.  He also took the monsters very seriously.  He was at the stage where he classified the world into monsters and heroes.
The special effects are pretty choppy.  And the movie is overacted at parts; especially the girl, Cindel.  The movie starts with her parents all being murdered by the monsters.  I don't think the reaction to this is very well acted, it all seems stiff.  I guess when you have a six-year old that is what you get however.
This movie features Wilford Brimley which is a  bonus, and he does a good job.  The other characters like the monsters, are extremely stiff and one dimensional.
