Animorphs - The Invasion Series, Part 4: The Legacy Survives [VHS]
For those not familiar with the popular Nickelodeon series,Animorphsconcerns the adventures of  five teens who have been given the ability to morph into animals and bugs. Don't dismiss it as a  sci-fiSaved by the Bell. The acting is surprisingly top-notch, and the stories are fun and thrilling.Animorphs: Part 4--The Legacy Survivesfinds friends and morphers Jake (Shawn  Ashmore), Rachel (Brooke Nevin), Marco (Boris Cabrera), Cassie (Nadia Nascimento), and Tobias  (Christopher Ralph) in their big battle against the Yeerks, sluglike aliens who aspire to take over the  world. The Yeerks insinuate themselves into a human ear and have all the appearances of being human.  The three-episode adventure offered inAnimorphs: Part 4--The Legacy Survivesis like the  creatively creepyThey Live!for the 7 and up set.The actual morphing process, as the teens turn into creatures, is especially neat, and audiences may find  there's not quite enough of the inventive special effect. Since the episodes are designed for television, there  are obvious breaks for commercials (distinctive fades-to-black) that may be distracting, but the video  features footage that hasn't and won't be seen on television.--N.F.
