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.

While even the best episodes fail to reach the heights of similar fare, the show remains good-natured. The video, audio and packaging are mediocre, but fans at least get dang for their duck with 27 episodes.

The three-hundred brave Spartan warriors battle again in this special effects draped action blockbuster that’s not always as dramatic as intended.

You can’t polish a turd, and even a frustratingly deluxe DVD package doesn’t redeem the worst animated film in many years from being anything other than the waste of time it is.

The mighty blue bug of justice returns! But he still hasn’t caught up with the guy who stole all the bonus features!

The Fleischer Popeye cartoons are at last available to own in an authorized DVD edition. The cartoons are glorious, and Warner put together a fine set of extras to go with the restored cartoons. It was worth the wait!

Thunderbean unleashes another collection of those “rare, lost and strange cartoons” that ultimately prove to be a bemusing and entertaining collection, well served on DVD.

This collection of “rare, lost and strange cartoons” sets up a unique series and presents some totally oddball curios in a fine context.

Director Phil Nibbelink’s sole-animated version of Shakespeare’s love-story is given a sweet twist and ends up being surprisingly accomplished despite the one-man-band approach.

Joanna Cameron stars as a schoolteacher with the powers of an Egyptian goddess in the classic Filmation live action Saturday morning series.

Walt Disney serves as host for an invitation into his personal playgrounds: the film studio and theme park that bear his name, in these entertaining nostalgia trips!

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!

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.

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.

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.

This computer-animated TV special tries hard but falls short of the mark, as seen in this unfortunately pan & scan DVD.

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.

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.

Native American mysticism, Western themes, and science fiction come together in this unusual series that blends several genres with standard cartoon stories.

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!

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…

Tom and Jerry return in 12 more episodes from their latest television show!

Tom and Jerry return in 12 episodes from their new television series!

Filmation’s only close classic, Journey Back To Oz remains an interesting curio of what might have been if the studio could have made the jump from television to features.

Manhattan movie critic Jay Sherman’s animated life on DVD certainly doesn’t “stink”!
