As I scroll down the list of reviews, I see that most of the people hate Nelvana and the whole Cardcaptor scene. I mean, I LOVED this video. It contained the BEST 4 episodes of Cardcaptors. I mean, I KNOW that 99.9% of the people here hating Nelvana but liking CLAMP's original version never would know about Cardcaptors unless Nelvana dubbed it.

Cardcaptors and cardcaptor sakura are equally good. The uncut version is aiming for older people 13+ and nelvanas cut version is aiming for aroung 12 yr olds. The voices are brilliant on the cut and im not so sure about the uncut voices.
Hope you find the cut and uncut version of cardcaptors equally good!! Although the original has more friendship, emotions and more of a plot.

Cardcaptors originally came from Japan, a light-hearted, wonderful show called Cardcaptor Sakura. Cardcaptors is the very mutilatelated version of it. No, this isn't another rant. It's only purpose is to inform. The original is MUCH better. I do realize it's very expensive but well worth the money! At least see the first tape. The subtitles are accurate and easy to read. And all of the episodes are in order unlike Cadrcaptors. What strikes me as funny is that this is a best-selling product but this tape contains some of the most mutilated episodes. Shot Card episode: Had over 6 minutes cut from it, the focus of the episode changed, 2 minutes of added footage from a 'flashback' (Which was not there originally.) of the Jump Card ep, and numerous changes, such as Sakura cooking koroke (fried potato) with her dad has become 'dumplings'. Often Nelvana will change lines or food because they don't like showing culture. Sometimes they will paint over Japanese writing. One of the worst episodes. I'm not going to review each episode, but take note, there are so many pointless changes that it's pathetic.

This Action Packed Movie Is Based On 3 Episodes Called 1. The Third Element 2. Buyer Beware 3. Stormy Weather This Is A Must SEE Movie Its A Great Video And It Comes Out On July 10.

I am an avid fan of anime. ... Card Captors is a series that is geared for kids, but can be enjoyed by adults as well. I find that watching this series is a nice change from the regular anime I usually watch and it allows me to enjoy it with my daughter. I recommend this series to any parent who enjoys anime, or even those who do not.

In the first episode:
Sakura and Julian go to a carnival where the firey card makes trouble.
In the second episode:
A store sells look alike Clow Cards , but there's a real Clow Card.
In the third episode:
The snow card buries the town in snow.

I do have to say it was GREAT! But Star Power will always be my favorite. But this is VERY worth to buy. In fact it's a GREAT movie and the dubbing was GRAND!!!! And it's when Sakura captures the Shot card, The Firey card and the Snow card.

It's GREAT!!!

Do buy it!!!!

This video is terrible !! in The third element this episode has been cut up like (...) 4 minutes has been cut! and the part where sakura dials the wrong number was all wrong !!!! nelvana are big liars the ycut this episode up?! and in stormy weather when sakura lost her watch she cries!! this was cut out to make her more stronger she is a big brat anyways!!!! i hated this video ! dont buy save your money go buy the original Card captor sakura!

Ok. I'm giving this too many stars but I just cant do this to one of my fovorite episodes. I have never seen the Japanese version of the Firey episode so I don't know how good or horrible it really is. The show is great. The cuts and voices are horrific. I can sorta get over Sakura's voice. She has a half decent one but poor Kero-chan. He sounds like a New York City cab driver. Li I can get over too. He actually has a softer voice in the Englis version than he does in the Japanese version. But Tomoyo.(Tear drop) OK she now has one of the worse voices EVER! OK buy this DVD if you are a Cardcaptors fan, but if you are a Cardcaptor Sakura fan DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! EVEN IF I'M LOOKING FOR THIS DVD DON'T LOOK FOR IT! IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY! NELVANA CHANGED IT TOO MUCH! JUST DONT BUY IT! Unless you are a CC fan dont buy this DVD unless you are upsessed with the episodes in English.
