Disney has issued a new press release revealing the storyline and cast for Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, which premieres on Toon Disney on February 26th at 8PM ET.
In the unprecedented 15th incarnation of the hit franchise, "Operation Overdrive" chronicles the adventures of five brave teens on an exciting global treasure hunt filled with mind-crunching puzzles to decode, action, adventure and spectacular battles, on a quest to find the "Corona Aurora," a crown said to bestow ultimate power to the wearer. Dark forces from the past awaken and search for the missing crown, which is encrusted with five magnificent jewels from seven galaxies, which will make evil unstoppable. The jewels must be found and secured or evil will wear the Corona Aurora. Our world and the entire universe's fate rests in the hands of "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive."
Geared towards boys 3-8 and has a parental guide of TV-Y7-FV, "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive" is produced by Ranger Productions Ltd.
While on an archeological excursion in Africa, billionaire/adventurer Andrew Hartford unearthed the crown portion of what he believes is the Corona Aurora. The jewels of the crown were missing from the corona. Upon returning home, Standish is visited by the crown's ghostly Templar Knight who assured him he has found the crown, but in doing so he was now responsible for protecting it. If the crown falls into the wrong hands, it can mean disaster not only for Earth but the entire universe.
Now Hartford must scour the globe and find the five jewels that were scattered across the Pangea many eons before man even existed. He uses his intelligence and wealth to construct the technology and machinery, including morphing Trackers, which he entrusts to an elite team of specialists to track down the jewels and save the universe. He assembles Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
The team consists of Hartford's excitable and impetuous son, Mackenzie or Mack, who grabbed the Tracker to become a ranger and live out his dreams of adventure. Mack, the Red Ranger, possesses superior strength. While Rose, the Pink Ranger, can become invisible, she is a certified Mensa Genius and child prodigy who enjoys poetry but needs to work on her social skills – something she can't learn in a book. Will, the Black Ranger, is a suave, sophisticated ladies man, ala a younger version of James Bond, who appreciates the finer things in life. The Black Ranger possesses super sight and hearing. Ronny, the Yellow Ranger, is a top race car driver in a male-dominated field, but can hold her own when dealing with the boys. Her enhancement is super speed. Dax, the Blue Ranger is the best international stuntman in the business; with elastic bounce abilities as his genetic enhancement, he can take his stunt work to a whole new level.
As the five teens set out to find the five jewels and defeat those evil doers bent on destroying the universe, it's safe to know that the Power Rangers fight for what's right, honest and good. They're the heroes – "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive."
Starring are newcomer James Maclurcan as Mack/the Red Ranger; Rhoda Montemayor ("Finding Neverland") as Rose/the Pink Ranger; Samuell Benta ("Re-Born") as Will/the Black Ranger; newcomer Caitlin Murphy as Ronny/the Yellow Ranger and Gareth Yuen ("Ponderosa") as Dax/the Blue Ranger.
Bruce Kalish (Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson") and Koichi Sakamoto serve as executive producers and Janine Dickins is the producer. "Power Rangers Operation Overdrive" is produced by Rangers Productions Ltd and films on location in Auckland, New Zealand.
Click the corresponding retailer for their ad for the week of January 7th to 13th 2007: Best Buy, Circuit City and Target. There really isn't all that many new releases here for me this week. Some of Best Buy's 2 for $20 DVDs sound tempting though..
I awoke in the morning feeling a little dizzy and heavy-headed. Like I could easily just fall over in a forward left direction. Strange. Not long after taking some tylenol, I soon felt a weird sensation in the front left part of my head. Stranger.. I ignored the urges to throw up and went out to media buy..
  
First, our usual bank wouldn't accept the check to deposit just because it was dated tomorrow. But we soon found another branch that accepted it. Yay.. After that, I headed over to Circuit City and purchased Snakes On A Plane (soo much plastic wasted.. *over dvd case, over bonus disc sleeve, over dvd case and sleeve*). I was going to get Buffy there too, but they barely had any in stock.. and what they did have in were the ancient foldout versions.. and only one of the ones I was looking for. I moved on to Best Buy and purchased Buffy Seasons 4 & 5 with a Circuit City price-match. They suddenly have more copies on the shelf now that they have them on sale too.. for $2 more that CC. I took no positive quotes on the cover as a bad sign and passed on The Covenant. Some negative reviews online did the trick too. I considered buying the remaining two seasons of Buffy as well, but decided not to. Then regretted it. So I'll be heading back down there to purchase and price-match them later in the week. :p
I stopped by Target and got some CD-Rs while they were on sale, then to Kroger so we could get a few groceries. We soon returned home in time for Passions (yay's @ Eve.. and Theresa.. even though it probably won't go anywhere). Once that ended, I watched three more DVD episodes of Buffy: Season 2 (awesome, of course.. *haha's @ the continuity with the cheerleading trophy* ..I love the DVD layout of grouping the episode-centric extras with the episodes.. I wish more DVD sets would be that way). Once those were over, I returned to my room, inventoried the new DVDs, and news-gathered. I finished up close to 7PM..
My dad and I watched the three-hour (including commercials) Spider-Man 2: Extended Cut on FX (cooool.. *gotsta buy the DVD in April*). Haha's @ the only Spider-Man 3 "sneak preview" being a part of the trailer that premiered on CBS awhile back.. I was going to watch Big Day.. but my dad headed off to bed. Grr.
See ya.
