When I was 6 I guess but I was just pointing out these cartoons really look childish.

Nahh, you're just not drinking enough...or perhaps you're drinking too much...

Here are some quick synapses of the 2 Ewoks movies, from what I remember:

Caravan of Courage: A ship crash lands on the Moon of Endor, containing a family of 4. A massive creature, known as a Gorax captures the 2 adults, leaving the 2 kids to fend for themselves. They are found by the Ewoks and the Ewoks help them find the parents.

Battle of Endor: The family, now reunited, is living with the Ewoks and repairing their ship, until a group of aliens known as Marauders attack (the head Marauder is played by the same actor that played Lurch in the newer Addam's Family movies). All but one of the family gets blown up, and the one kids left, and a bunch of Ewoks are captured (for what reason I don't remember). The kid and Wicket escape and find an old man that had also crashed landed on Endor. He takes them in, until they tell him what they found out about why the Marauders attacked.
The Marauders wanted a power cell from the human ship. The leader thought it could bring him great power, except he has no idea how it works.
With this power cell, the old man figures he can finally get off the planet. So he teams up with the remaining Ewoks and they raid the Marauders stronghold, grab the power cell and free the capture Ewoks, then they return to his ship, which he can now supply with power, and they hold off the attacking Marauders. He and the remaining kid then leave Endor.

I've seen Battle for Endor more recently, that's why I recall more about it.

I must admit to being guilty of enjoying the Ewok Films, although it's been years since i saw them, they were released theatrically in Australia, and at the time they were the next best thing to a real Star Wars film, it also helped that my little brother was about 4 when they came out and i was about 14 so it was a good way to introduce him into the world of Star Wars, it's probably for that reason that I don't find the don't find the Ewoks in ROTJ as contemptable as most people do, Give me Ewoks over Gungans anyday!!

I'm looking forward to the release of the Ewok Films on DVD with a hint of Nostalgia, hope they're released in Australia.
