This Hanna-Barbera series is relatively forgotten compared to some of their bigger properties, but fortunately Warner Home Video gave us this fine DVD release so that everyone can now appreciate just how great this prime-time show was. |
Rudolph And Frosty’s Christmas In July
This somewhat obscure 1970’s Rankin-Bass feature is surprisingly adept at keeping up the ol’ Rudolph & Frosty magic. |

This French CGI project’s origins as a video game show, but the look of the film is unique and the story interesting, even if the details of the plot are a bit hazy. |

The second part of our survey on Filmation sees the studio once again enjoy some major successes in the 1970’s and 1980’s, only to fall prey to changing economic realities. |

This studio is finally getting its due on DVD, so it’s a great time to look back at its classic line-up. In Part One of this survey, we look at the studio’s origins in the 1960’s and go up to the highs and lows of 1975. |

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?: The Complete First and Second Seasons
This set was one of the first Hanna-Barbera DVD sets, which mean that the extras are terrible. However, there is still lots of Scooby goodness here for fans to enjoy. |

Though the DVD set is not exactly worthy of the show, one should not miss getting this first classic season of the groundbreaking show— TV’s first original primetime animated series! Yabba dabba doo!! |
Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: Special Edition
Spidey looks pretty cool in “comic noir CGI” although the medium does have its pluses and minuses. This may be remembered in the future as an oddity in the career of Spider-Man, but it has some great moments and is well worth a look on this amazingly feature-packed DVD set. |

It was a terrible idea, but a hit of sorts nonetheless, and if you must own this movie then this disc is the way to go. |

Bob Clampett’s Beany And Cecil: The Special Edition
This disc is a real treasure that a lot of you probably haven’t seen. You owe it to yourself to read about the disc then get yourself a copy. Seriously. |
Heavy Metal: Collector’s Edition
The movie may be juvenile, but it makes no apologies for being all about sex and rock and roll. Strong attitude makes up for some weak drawing, and the soundtrack can’t be beat.

The Complete Uncensored Private Snafu
This early DVD is not up to current day standards for cartoons on disc, but it does provide collectors the opportunity of having all these unique WWII films in one place. Looney Tunes fans should be especially interested. |

Uncensored Bosko: Volume 1
