Highlander: The Animated Series is an American animated television show which aired from 1994-1996. It is based on the popular film series Highlander and follows the adventures of Quentin MacLeod, a descendant of the original Scottish Highlander, Connor MacLeod. The show takes place in the year 2100, where Quentin travels the world to face various Immortals who are seeking the Prize, which grants ultimate power and knowledge to the last Immortal standing. Quentin is aided by his mentor, Methos, a 5000-year-old Immortal.

The animation is unique and blends traditional and computer-generated techniques, giving the show a distinct style. The voice acting is well done, with Lawrence Bayne providing the voice of Quentin MacLeod and Tracey Moore portraying the character of Kyra, a fellow Immortal who becomes Quentin's love interest.

The show explores a wide range of themes, including love, betrayal, and redemption. The concept of Immortals battling for the Prize creates an interesting dynamic between characters, as each Immortal has their own motivations for seeking the Prize.

One of the strengths of the show is its world-building. The show introduces new Immortals from different cultures and backgrounds, and fleshes out the history and mythology of the Highlander universe. The variety of settings and characters keep the show fresh and interesting, while also expanding upon the world of the films.

The show also features a strong musical score by composer Claude Foisy, which complements the action and drama of each episode. The opening theme, "Princes of the Universe" by Highlander film composer Michael Kamen and performed by the band Queen, is an iconic piece of music that sets the tone for the series.

Despite its positive aspects, the show does have some flaws. The pacing can be uneven at times, with some episodes feeling rushed or underdeveloped. The show also suffers from occasional dips in animation quality, particularly in scenes with a lot of action or movement.

Overall, Highlander: The Animated Series is a solid addition to the Highlander franchise. It expands upon the mythology of the films while also introducing new characters and scenarios. The animation style and voice acting are top-notch, and the music is memorable. While it's not perfect, Highlander: The Animated Series is definitely worth checking out for fans of the franchise.

Highlander: The Animated Series is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (40 episodes). The series first aired on September 18, 1994.
