|
Weekend Roundup! Plus The Tick is back!
A recap on this week’s Popeye and Filmation content, plus the return of The Tick! |
|
Appreciation for Filmation!
As a few new Filmation reviews hit the site, we look back on the little studio that could! |
|
The New Adventures Of Superman: DC Classics
Dated, cheap, sometimes crude…not even Kryptonite could kill the simply infectious entertainment value of Superman’s first animated television series, importantly the first show to come from the Filmation Studio! |
|
The New Adventures Of Batman: DC Classics
Adam West and Burt Ward reprise the roles that made them Sixties icons in this 1977 Saturday morning cartoon about Batman and Robin. The Dynamic Duo is joined by Batgirl and Bat-Mite in this decidedly kid-friendly version. |
|
Filmation’s Ghostbusters: Volume Two!
The original Filmation’s Ghostbusters are back, and though this second and final collection’s episodes aren’t the best, the extras make for an absorbing set. |
|

|
Crazy triple bill: Popeye, The Simpsons, and 300 Spartans!??!
Popeye out on disc at last, The Simpsons‘ theatrical debut is reviewed, plus we have 300 to giveaway on DVD! |
|
The Simpsons Movie
The Simpsons Movie is definitely not the “Best. Movie. Ever.” But it does deliver the laughs. |
|
I Yam What I Yam…Popeye's here!
Max and Dave Fleischer’s Paramount Popeye cartoons. On DVD. For real. Nuff said! |
|
Fred Grandinetti: Talking With Popeye’s No. 1 Fan
We speak to Fred about Popeye’s long-awaited debut on official DVDs of the Fleischer material, plus we look at Fred’s Popeye book and discuss Popeye’s long trek to DVD in an archive interview. |
|
Popeye (live-action movie)
Robin Williams brings the spinach-guzzling sailor to real life in a love-it-or-hate it adaptation. While it is flawed and Robert Altman an odd choice for a blockbuster director, it’s still a magnificent achievement. |
|
Popeye’s Voyage: The Quest For Pappy
This computer-animated TV special tries hard but falls short of the mark, as seen in this unfortunately pan & scan DVD. |
|
Popeye 75th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
If you like your Popeye having two eyes, lousy animation, and poorly-constructed stories, then this is the set for you! This three-disc set includes a large sampling of the King Features shorts produced for television in 1960-1961. |
|
Time for a Renaissance and another Amazon sale!
Renaissance reviewed, plus recommends from Amazon’s DVD sale! |
|
Renaissance
Christian Volckman’s innovative movie doesn’t kick in until act three, by which time all the glossy motion captured tricks have started to wear thin, failing to engage emotionally. |
|
Mickey quits…
Comic-Con is on the way, plus thoughts on Disney’s smoking ban announcement which could potentially start messing with old movies. |
|
Scully on Simpsons, plus good reviews galore!
The Simpsons Movie is here! We talk to its writer-producer Mike Scully! D’oh! |
|
Mike Scully on The Simpsons Movie
Mike Scully comments on his time as writer and producer for The Simpsons Movie, while also referring to his work with the Simpsons television series. |
|
Little King and Bravestarr's best, plus hi-def gripes
Real animated entertainment is delivered in spades with The Little King, plus Bravestarr‘s best, and gripes about how the hi-def formats are keeping regular DVD features to themselves. |
|
The Best Of Bravestarr
Native American mysticism, Western themes, and science fiction come together in this unusual series that blends several genres with standard cartoon stories. |
|
The Complete Adventures Of The Little King
Otto Soglow’s Little King strips come to animation in a brilliantly inventive series from Van Bueren Studios, and Thunderbean’s disc, which collects the whole bunch plus some ancillary cartoons, ain’t too shabby either! |
|
Pottermania mach 5, plus The In-Complete Pluto
The Complete Pluto, Volume Two adds to our Treasures reviewes, plus thoughts on Potter 5. |
|
Walt Disney Treasures: The Complete Pluto, Volume Two
Disney’s doggone star is back for his second helping of solo Disney Treasures, though claims that we’re now done with the “complete” series fall more than a little short… |
|
Hi-def, Blu-Ray, and all that Jazz…
Mark Smith on The Art Of Flash Cartooning plus thoughts on the latest attempts from the high-definition camp to lure us all to the Blu way of life… |
|
