Talk:The Perils of Voice Acting

Very, very nice, Joysweeper. The TG was handled well for both characters. --Buck 14:11, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Later: So, now Peter is Arkadais, and his daughter Sarah is the Little Brother. Well, at least they're still family. :) Seriously, you've done a very good job setting up this fictional 80s cartoon. I can see Arkadais' personality has insinuated itself into Peter's mode of thinking (Sugar!). But Peter remains more or less intact as a person. But now she gets to be a fifteen year old girl to boot...

At any rate, I imagine Arkadais herself as a tomboyish girl who hates being mistaken for a boy, but uses it to her advantage when necessary. The show itself seems to be a mixture of He-Man and Conan the Barbarian. I can actually imagine the opening sequence of he cartoon (probably animated by the same company that did Transformers and GI Joe). In the opening shot, the camera speeds along towards a high ridge, getting closer to Arkadais and her companions (4-5 of them). She draws her sword, which glows and fires off a beam, which the camera follows. Segue into a montage of action scenes from various episodes.

Every 80s cartoon had a toy line, of course. The show was probably intended to appeal to boys and girls alike, which might have accounted for its failure. They tried to mash He-Man and She-Ra together in a tomboyish female protagonist, and it didn't quite work out. --Buck 19:16, 19 February 2008 (EST)
