I remember loving the X-Men television show as a kid, this though not technically part of it certainly seems to have been made by the same people.
A 1989 short film about the origins of Kitty Pryde it features all your favourite X-Men and villains but made me feel a little silly actually watching it.
Part of me questions whether I'm remembering the old television series with ruby glasses or if this was just part of the shows evolution and not on the same level.
Wolverine stands out as a particularly bad character, they clearly hadn't read the comics as he is by far the least likable and most annoying part of this short.
In establishing Kitty Pryde (Who was never part of the television series) they don't do the character any favours but how possibly could you with a character so limited.
I'd suggest even fans of the original series give this one a pass.
The Good:
Nostalgia
The Bad:
Wolverines voice is hilariously bad
A lot of changes from the comics
Things I Learnt From This Short:
The original X-Men series might not have been as good as I remember
I don't remember a dragon
Wolverine is a deeply annoying Australian
