Admittedly what attracted me was the warrior mounted dragon on the cover to this DVD boxed-set animated series. I have never heard of Blackstar before.
The show does show promise for its age. I would love to have seen a pilot episode that explained how the characters met. For an "ally" Warlock the dragon gets treated more like your average horse.
The trobbits behave more like pink smurfs and the music when the appear is just so cheesy it belongs in a 3-year-old's show. Its all out of place for the rest of the premise of the story! The shapechanger only seems to be able to do so when there's no danger around. The dragon is a wimp. There's no explanation as to how an astronaut became a super-strong sword-bearing barbarian.
They took what could have been a really great show and watered it down to stomach-churning levels.
