Motion capture doesn’t seem so bad when the movie comes out as good as this one. While its box office take was more moderate than monstrous, we find it worth a look on DVD.

Two obscure Filmation shows in one fine set from BCI, who doesn’t seem to realize that these aren’t fan favorites on the same level as He-Man. They pull out all the stops anyway, and reward Filmation fans with nice transfers and bonus features.

We look at the origins of the show and judge how it stacks up to its source material.

While the first season had a mishmash of tones that covered the gamut from goofy to the very serious, the second season… well, actually more of the same. But, except for a couple of episodes, it’s all good.

The award-winning series comes to DVD in the first of two five-disc sets. The show apparently won awards on the strength of its writing, not its animation. BCI delivers another great effort in the packaging and extras department, though the video is disappointing.

One of the greatest cartoon shows of all time comes gift-wrapped and feature-laden from the fine folks at BCI.

The mighty blue bug of justice crashes onto DVD. But what nefarious arch-criminal stole all the extras?

Not as good as the first, but Marvel fans will want to check it out, if only for the Ultimates featurette.

Fans had hoped for a fine send-off to the animated Superman series, but instead got a turkey with little in common with the beloved show.

Alvin And The Chipmunks built on their television success with this movie, and the big screen feature turned out surprisingly well. This is a gem.

Charles Schulz’s lovable loser stars in his first feature film, shown on a sadly understated DVD.

The Batman of the future has his own style, but if you have an open mind you may find this version quite appealing.

The first season of Justice League is probably better than a lot of us gave it credit for, as one can see on this fine DVD set.

This is Studio Ghibli at its most tender, a charming departure from the eco-princesses and fairy tales for which the studio is largely known.

The first animated movie from the Marvel/Lionsgate deal is a good start, solidly adapting the first storyline from Marvel’s Ultimates comic book.

Tim Burton returns to his roots with this stop-motion wonder.

Leonard Maltin hosts a wild ride through decades of Disney studio history.

A good first effort from Vanguard gets a pretty but lazy DVD edition.

Huck, Yogi, and Pixie & Dixie star in Hanna-Barbera’s first full-length television series— a true classic.

This is a very good special edition of the ecological 1992 film— worth a look from both parents and kids.

The bold, landmark series from Peter Chung is wonderfully presented in this superb DVD set— a highlight of 2005.

The glorious comic book works of Carl Barks inspired this fine series. Too bad the DVD presentation is not nearly so inspired.

A group of diverse animated charcaters have to live together in this raunchy “reality” cartoon series.

Walt’s 1950 classic gets one of the better Platinum releases, though some may never forgive Disney for including the WORST “bonus” of all time on this set.

This very different Studio Ghibli film, based on a comic strip, offers glimpses of Japanese family life.

This Studio Ghibli film may not have seemed quite so weird in Japan, but this tale of raccoon-like creatures trying to reclaim their forest sure seems pretty wild to us.

This rock & roll adventure for grown-ups gets a deluxe set that holds more than fans could have hoped.

This anime film based on a comic from the creator of Astro Boy may be a modern masterpiece. It certainly has a visual flair at the very least, and this set carries some nice extras.

This may be considered a classic by many, but apparently it must be an “acquired taste” kind of show.

The first season was legendarily bad, the second season pretty good. Overall, this one is for fans of the Four only.
