This well-done, typical Disney Afternoon show comes in a pretty mediocre DVD set.

Mickey certainly isn’t the best he’s ever looked in this collection of Christmas tales that are sorely lacking the festive spirit or any other redeeming values.

The initial season of the show comes to an end here, plus this set includes the two extended specials that comprised the series’ “second season” and introduced Bubba and Gizmoduck. Collectors will continue to be disappointed in the care Disney took with putting this show on DVD, but the quality of the series itself still shines through.

The comic strip army private struggles to satisfy his superiors, not to mention weak scripts and limited animation.

60 more Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, and though the strike rate starts to slip with Volume 5, there are still some knockout cartoons in the bunch, served by some 14-carrot extras!

Firestorm joins the team in this last hurrah for The Super Friends.

It’s third time unlucky for DreamWorks increasingly tired franchise with an uninspired movie coming to disc in an uninspired package. Must try harder!

Pixar’s hard sell comes to disc in a fairly uneventful package from Disney, but the movie is so delicious that it deserves to be on everyone’s list!

Pixar’s first 13 animated shorts, from SIGGRAPH tests to DVD extras, are bundled together in a cute but surprisingly lacklustre package with some curious transfer questions.

This early DC Comics cartoon holds up surprisingly well, in a goofy Silver Age comic kind of way, and the 2-disc set also offers up a nice featurette about the character.

The first of a planned series of DVDs spotlighting the shows based on the Archie Comics series offers plenty of nostalgic fun in this nicely-packaged set.

The legacy of Dan DeCarlo is celebrated by this DVD set of the cartoon show featuring his characters from Archie Comics. The show invites comparisons to both The Archie Show and Scooby-Doo, but these comparisons are favorable.

A wonderful collection of Alice Comedies, including some unique documentary segments, that’s another winner in the Inkwell Images releases.

The first “DC Universe Animated Original Movie” takes on a story too big for its own good, but the extra features are very nice.

A fun entry in the tradition of Walt’s own anthology programs that mixed vintage footage with new, featuring Disney Animation Florida’s How To Haunt A House Goofy short as a real highlight.

Disney’s whimsical comedy adventure doesn’t have the power of Pixar punch, but it’s accomplished enough and delivers more on a second viewing.

Michael Bay’s explosive blockbuster isn’t a cohesive classic by any stretch, but Paramount/DreamWorks’ extras package develops an appreciation for the sheer scale of filmmaking on show.

Walt’s swansong, and one of the best Disney animated features ever produced, The Jungle Book is here in a fairly decent collectors’ edition 2-disc set!

The final volume of the Hanna-Barbera spoof delivers lots of yucks for adult viewers who can handle the desecrating of old favorites.

This melding of Finding Nemo and Shark Tale sensibilities is a fishy one to place, being totally derivative of those films but no-where near as bad as it could or indeed was expected to be. Younger audiences might well be hooked!

Walt Disney’s earliest film come to disc combined with informative documentary wraparounds and a unique handful of extras that place the films in real context.

This season is marginally better than the early ones, with the addition of Firestorm adding some interest, not to mention the spectacle of seeing Darkseid crushing on Wonder Woman.

Fox’s surprise DVD includes both Irwin Allen’s kitsch 1960 take on Conan Doyle’s The Lost World as well as the George Eastman House restoration of Willis O’Brien’s pioneering 1925 feature in a deluxe and very welcome package.

This is nothing but product line extension, which should be avoided by collectors, though even the young girl audience might find this a switch off too, with the list price certainly not warranted by the lackluster, less than an hour length.

These “Best” Of Casper collections seem to be anything but, though younger audiences coming to the character for the first time might be charmed.

Walter Lantz’ crazed Woodpecker breaks out of the Universal vaults for an extremely generous collection that’s surprisingly full of exuberance and quality, making this a significant must-have.

This could be one of the finest seasons of any TV show in history. Jim Henson and his collaborators were in their prime, and the guest stars this season are amazing.

Thanks to a watering down of the Hanna-Barbera artists that season, this show is not quite as special as Space Ghost & Dino Boy, but it still has that Toth magic touch.

This show is a favorite of Hanna-Barbera devotees, largely due to the design work by Alex Toth, who gets a terrific feature-length documentary on this set.

There’s a certain nostalgic feel about the paper-thin story, and despite the video game feel and use of fantastical weaponry, parents should find TMNT a fair rent for a fun family time.
