You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown: Remastered Deluxe Edition
This Peanuts TV special may not be the most famous Charlie Brown story, but it is just as good as many of the other great specials of the 1960s and 1970s. |
A Boy Named Charlie Brown (Documentary)
This documentary was made for television in 1963. Though it has never aired, it did bring together Charles Schulz, Lee Mendelson, Bill Melendez, and Vince Guaraldi, leading to a partnership that would produce many wonderful TV specials. This special DVD is a wonderful gem for Peanuts fans. |
The Sylvester And Tweety Mysteries: The Complete First Season
Do cat and canary chases mix with mysteries? Sometimes yes, sometimes less so, but this is overall a nice little show. |
It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: Remastered Deluxe Edition
It’s another Peanuts classic, as Linus is subjected to ridicule over his belief that The Great pumpkin will visit him in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night. A lesser but still pretty good special is also on the disc, as well as a nifty featurette. |
He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe: Volume Three
The 2002-2003 series wraps up with battles galore as He-Man and the Masters face off against not only Skeletor but also King Hiss and his Snake Men. It’s a great-looking show that just manages to rise above its origins as a prolonged toy commercial. |
Popeye The Sailor: Volume 2 1938-1940
A second set of some of the best cartoons ever made. Invaluable. |
Justice League: Season One
The Justice League looks even better in high def, even in their weakest season. |
Bravestarr: Volume Two
The final Filmation show gets shorted on extras in this concluding volume, but with 32 episodes there’s still lots to occupy your time. |
The New Adventures Of The Lone Ranger And Zorro: Volume 2
Two masked icons of the American West stand up to the forces of oppression in this set of Filmation cartoons that finishes off their respective Saturday morning series. |
Teen Titans: The Complete Fifth Season
The final season of Teen Titans offers the most consistent tone, with only one real clunker (in addition to a misfire of a finale) marring what is otherwise an epic finish featuring the world’s teen heroes versus The Brotherhood Of Evil. |
The Batman: The Complete Fifth Season
The final season of The Batman finds him becoming chummier with the Justice League. |
The Astro Boy Essays
Finally, there is an English language book about Osamu Tezuka! This one has a narrow focus, but it’s a nice start, particularly for those who are most interested in his most famous creation. |
Astro Boy (2003): The Complete Series
The newest version of Astro Boy is really very good, though Sony’s DVD presentation is a sad thing to behold. |
Astro Boy (1980): The Collection Box Set
Tezuka’s influence is felt even stronger in Astro Boy’s second series. |
Astro Boy (1963): Ultra Collector’s Edition Sets 1 & 2
The first anime hit gets an impressive pair of sets collecting the entirety of the English dubbed versions of the show. |
Batman: Gotham Knight (Blu-ray/DVD)
The Dark Knight gets an anime makeover in this anthology of tales handled by some of Japan’s best studios. Like any anthology, the results are mixed, but overall these visions of Batman are compelling. |
The Jungle Book 2: Special Edition
If you loved the original, here’s the story all over again, but this time in spiffy 21st Century-style animation! |
The Richie Rich Scooby-Doo Show: Volume One
This set includes the weakest Scooby ever, but the Richie Rich stories are kind of cute. |
He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe: Volume Two
This second volume of the 2002 version of the classic Mattel characters provides plenty of action, though only a couple of truly interesting episodes. However, BCI as usual does a great job of putting it all together in a package that collectors will love. |
Bravestarr: The Movie
This cowboys-in-space film marked the beginning of the end for Filmation, but in fact it represents the best of what the studio could accomplish. |
Drawn Together – Uncensored! Season Three
How bad can this show get? Season Three found new ways to be filthy and disgusting. Some adults may find the show funny, but keep kids away from this one! |
Sabrina, The Animated Series: Witch In Training
This spin-off of the live action sitcom is fairly mediocre, but is a decent show for kids, with good moral messages. |
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch: The Complete Animated Series
The good little witch of Riverdale tries to help Archie and the gang with her magic, but things often backfire. |
George Of The Jungle: The Complete Original Series
Jay Ward’s last great contribution to television cartoons is just as fun as ever. The Tarzan parody, along with other segments that include Super Chicken and Tom Slick, serves up more laughs than a season’s worth of many other programs. |
The Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm Show: The Complete Series
Fred’s and Barney’s kids have grown up, and show the same tendencies towards getting into trouble as their fathers. |
Justice League: New Frontier
This great DTV movie looks even better in high defintion, though the benefits are modest. |
Justice League – The New Frontier: Special Edition
In the 1950s, the emergence of the Justice League helps America heal after a decade of paranoia and fear. |
Beowulf: Director’s Cut (HD DVD)
The performance capture film gets a second look on HD DVD, which offers superb video and audio, as well as even nicer bonus features. |
Archie’s Funhouse: The Complete Series
Archie appears in his (sort of) third Saturday morning series, with a bigger emphasis on jokes than stories. There are even more songs, though! The episodes get tiresome, but the extras make this one worth looking at. |
