I bought this out of sheer chance. I saw this on sale for $2.99 in the discount rack at Toys R Us who I guess is getting rid of any DVDs that are out of print. The reason why I say this is because this DVD heavily advertises its URL www.digitalversatiledisc.com and that site is dead for sure. I think Digital Versatile Disc Ltd. has gone away.

Anyway they have released all sort of cartoons which tie in with famous stories. Peter Pan, Alice in the Wonderland, and Hercules. So out of all the releases I felt that 20000 Leagues would have the most action.

The DVD cover (not illustrated on amazon) hardly shows any screen shots of the cartoon. In fact the cover design is rather inexpensively done. Which tells me that the artwork done for this is a reprint in itself.

When I turned on the DVD I was suprised to find that the DVD was in DTS. But dissappointed! The cartoon is basically Scooby Doo quality! I have some old Paramount Superman cartoons which have similar animation quality. I'm delighted to see cheap DVD releases. I have seen the Popeye collection, Japanese Monster Movie collections. But this one was a dissappointment.

Having said that, if you have a 2-3 yr old child. This type of DVD would be more ideal than what you see on TV. There's less violence and definitely a more realism to the story. Danger verses safe. Bad verses good. All the things a child cartoon lacks with its glorification of violence without the consequences of pain or reprecussions.

I give it 2 stars, if this is the right DVD.
