Miniforce: New Heroes Rise: The Fighting Five

Like the initially-espied military forces which are basically color-coded stormtroopers (white for good, green for bad), many of the cartoon characters in Miniforce: New Heroes Rise resemble children's toys more than people. (Humans don't have giant, detachable heads.) Whatever the species, the stakes are high since those bad boys of The Lizard Corps have stolen some recently extracted Ellinium. Considering this villainous crew already possesses the Amplifying Prism, all sentient beings will be in danger should that lizard army somehow manage to get the Controlling Cube. "Who knew the lizard army would be so powerful," one of the elders asks. Who knew? Not me!

Yet all is not lost for those on the Good Side, thanks to a team of hyper-youthful, recent special ops graduates: the super-speedy Ranger Volt (blue), the high-jumping Ranger Sammy (Red), the protectively defensive Ranger Lucy (pink), and the brawny Ranger Max (yellow). Also joining this save-the-world crew is creepily red-eyed, rabbit-headed ingenue Anna whose scientist-father was an Ellinium expert. Together the quintet trains, bonds, battles, falls in and out of love, squabbles, screams, transforms into shiny androids to music, and works to save the planet. No, not works. Does!
