YMMV / ProStars

Go To

  • Anvilicious: Fighting criminals, protecting the environment, and teaching kids to stay in school and about the moral problems encountered in the episode adds up to quite a lot.
  • Awesome Music: Like most Saturday Morning Cartoons, the theme song is more than likely to get stuck in your head.
  • Ethnic Scrappy: Mom is an extremely annoying Jewish stereotype.
  • Moment of Awesome: The episode "Roll to Victory". The Pro Stars get called in to help a struggling casual sports league against a team of players who are ruining things by playing like thugs. Michael gives and receives lessons in confidence to a disabled kid, especially after he sprains his ankle and has to spend the rest of the decisive game in a wheelchair. There's no over-the-top cartoon supervillain. No silly sports gadgets. The stakes are small but deeply personal: a bunch of regular people getting help from their sports heroes saving something ordinary they love to do. How down-to-earth the whole episode is makes what the Pro Stars accomplish feel more genuinely inspirational than your standard episode.
  • Quirky Work: Like most celebrity based cartoons, it is quite bizarre. The fact that sport stars act as a team of superheroes alone is pretty baffling — though not unprecedented!
  • Values Dissonance: The series has some racial stereotypes that haven't aged well.
