"Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders" - Redesign
If you grew up between the 1980s and the early 2000s, you were probably victim of one of those celluloids-later-turned-CGI plagues that you couldn’t help but love anyway : cartoons specifically produced to sell toys.
And even if some got their redemption and became beautiful adventures with truly endearing characters, every cartoon hadn't this privilege. And today, I am tackling a compilation of bad animation in bright colors and saturated light effects supposed to sell Hasbro's counterfeit Barbie : "Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders", one of my first magical girls ^^
I recommand you to take a look onto Jewel Riders Archives (http://www.jewelridersarchive.com/) and their YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJewelRidersArchive/videos) for even more informations about this time-capsule.
The video accompanying this project (turn the english subtitles ON ^^)
How to transform such an obvious doll commercial into something interesting ?
Starla/Gwenevere, Princess of Avalon and Knight of the Sun, weilding her Sword of Light.
Sunstar, solar dragonness and Guardian-Mount of Starla/Gwenevere
Fallon, bodyguard of the princess and Knight of the Moonstone, wielding her Selenite Bow.
Moondance, lunar panther and Guardian-Mount of Fallon.
Tamara, half-fairy lady-in-waiting of the princess and Knight of the Heartsonte, wielding her Heart Shield.
Shadowsong, zebracorn and Guardian- Mount of Tamara.
Together and with the power of the Crown Jewels...
... they will protect the Kingdom of Avalon and vainquish the forces of evil !
