"Pryde of the X-Men" is a 22-minute animated short film from over 25 years ago written by Larry Parr and directed by Ray Lee. This one did not get picked up for an own series, but it's nonetheless a pretty decent watch as a standalone film. The cast includes some really famous voice actors such as Frank Welker and Marvel legend Stan Lee comes up with the narration for this one. The story is fun to watch. Even if Kitty Pryde certainly looks and sounds a lot older than 14, it's not a problem at all. And looking at the title, they sure loved plays on words in the 1980s already. What I liked the most about this little film is the clean presentation of the characters early on, to Kitty and to us, really adds a lot for everybody who is not an expert on the X-Men. So yeah, this did not get picked up, but with all the recent Hugh Jackman live action films, fans can live with it I guess. I recommend the watch. Solid small film we have here. Thumbs up.
