#Jem and the holograms dvd 2015 movie
It’s possible Jem misses out on a lot of gimmicks that other boys’ toys use as well as the fashion gimmicks that Barbie and Bratz and the other dolls employ, and, thus, it’s hard for it to keep up with all the other properties out there.īut you know what wasn’t a very loved thing? The 2015 movie for Jem and the Holograms. The thing is, though, it’s not a property that is able to really sustain comebacks quite like Star Wars, G.I. Jem is still a very loved property by a lot of girls who are now in their 40s, but I think there is a halfway decent following for younger generations. It would take Bratz to finally start creating cracks in the Barbie stronghold on girls’ toys. Barbie was a little too big to bring down at the time. The toys themselves were mostly generated for Hasbro to compete against Mattel’s Barbie line. So there were lots of opportunities to sell various toys and what have you. On top of that, the Holograms had two rival bands, the Misfits (the better known arch rival) and the Stingers (introduced in the final 12 episodes). There was a little something for everyone really. The drummer, Shana, not just Jerrica and Kimber’s foster sister, but also African-American. The guitarist is Aja, an Asian-American girl. The Holograms were made up of Jerrica’s sister, Kimber, who is the main songwriter. Now, there was some perfect Hasbro marketing stuff too. With the help of her advanced hologram computer, Synergy, she can transform into her alter ego, the rock and roll superstar Jem, lead singer of the Holograms. The cartoon revolved around music company owner Jerrica Benton. It was one of those Hasbro properties like her brothers G.I. The cartoon ran for 65 episodes from 1985 to 1988. Maybe not the toys, but the show had a fairly decent mass appeal. Jem certainly encapsulated that too, but it wasn’t entirely made specifically for girls. I talked about it a couple weeks ago when I reviewed Teen Witch, but wish fulfillment is really, really, really important to young people. Regardless of watching or not, and certainly not having the dolls that were released, I still liked the gimmick and idea of the whole concept. Now, while I didn’t exactly watch or love the show Jem and the Holograms, I knew A LOT of people who did. That said, I still love the toys and still smile at everything surrounding those glory days of cartoon and capitalist infusion. That’s because I’m a grown up and can understand that those things are special for what they were then and it’s hard to recapture that love and the exact feelings I had when I first discovered the cartoons. While a lot of the sheen of those shows faded as I grew up, it’s okay. I bathed in the glory of the awesome toys and amazing cartoons of the decade.
