Toon Makers Sailor Moon: Difference between revisions

* [[Adaptational Personality Adjustment]]: Featured in spades. Rather than Usagi an ordinary, ditzy teenage girl who happens to be the reincarnation of a Sailor Guardian, "Vicky" is the cover for Princess Sailor Moon after she and her friends escape from Beryl when they flee the Moon Kingdom, on Sailor Moon's ''wedding day'' no less. She hides sadness about leaving her home, her fiancé Earth Prince Darien and her mother behind a smiling exterior and a desire for normal teenage girl things like dances and cosmetics. The other Senshi follow suit: Sailor Mars is a lot mellower than her original counterpart, asking her friends for fashion advice; Sailor Mercury loses the computer and her genius; Sailor Jupiter is more motherly; and Sailor Venus is less of a ditz, showing that she is a serious warrior in battle and a [[Handicapped Badass]] to boot.

* [[Eighties Hair]]: Well technically early '90s hair, and fashion, but it's similar to the hair of the latter part of the '80s. Some people have said the live action footage looks a fair bit like it came from ''[[Blossom]]''.

* [[Expository Theme Tune]]

* [[Five-Token Band]]: Sailor Jupiter is black. Sailor Mercury is in a wheelchair and has long red hair. Ironically, perhaps, only one of the Sailor Soldiers -- who appears to be Sailor Mars -- is Asian.

* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Presumably what they were going for by making one of the Sailor Soldiers a wheelchair user, whether this would have borne out will never be know with what little footage exists and given that she appears to be the more defense focused Sailor Mercury -- she's wearing blue. They did give her a wheelchair enabled sailboard which fired lasers of some sort.

* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: The Solar Sailboard "windsurfers" were parent company Renaissance Atlantic's idea in the hope of making some toy tie ins, which isn't that unlike the original show's plethora of ~~toy marketable~~ [[Transformation Trinket]]s, pretty pink [[Magic Wand]]s, and [[Magic Staff]]s but still a bit strange when you are familiar with the original where the only vehicles are the actual cars and motorbikes of Sailor Uranus and Tuxedo Mask.

* [[Multinational Team]]: The Sailor Soldiers would have been composed of girls from several nations according to Rocky Solotoff.

* [[Old Shame]]: Not the whole production, on which director/producer/writer Rocky Solotoff still looked back in fondness when Anime Fringe interviewed him, but he admitted the production staff were never happy with the animation.
