Princess Aura: Most beautiful animated character ever?
She could be. She reminds me of Princess Ardala (sp?) in the Buck Rogers television show: the gorgeous, vain, seductively spoiled, ostensibly "bad" girl who is actually vulnerable inside. I can't believe Flash didn't ditch the other girl and fall for Princess Aura instantly.
For a kids' animated film, she was depicted in a remarkably attractive way in this film. But then again, all in all it was more mature than the usual Filmation fare -- and a hundred times better than the godawful 1980 Flash Gordon film.
