This review is from: Cool McCool - The Complete Series (DVD)

I remember watching this show before school. Only in B&W, (okay, so I'm old) and never missed an episode. Now, finally, I can re-live those early mornings in color, and in pristine clarity. I have to say, as soon as the menu came up with the theme song, my old grey cells kicked in, and I had a smile from ear to ear.

Like "The Archies", "Groovie Goolies" and "Top Cat", the REAL openings are there, captured in their FULL format. Unlike "Magilla Gorila", "Batfink" and "Rocky & Bullwinkle" where they've cut them or re-edited them and changed the theme.(very disappointing indeed)
But you'll be very happy with Cool McCool, restored in its entirety.

You get 20 FULL 25 min episodes(over 8 hours) on three single sided discs. Great value!
Packaging is excellent.
Menus are animated with music. Realy good.
Episode menu has great chapter selection through the episodes, and has some great special features.

Brilliant picture and sound, and in perfect sync.

Do yourself a favour, you won't be sorry. (Well worth the money)

This review is from: Cool McCool - The Complete Series (DVD)

From 1966 comes Cool McCool, the witty, limited- animation SatAm King Features/ Hearst 'toon that parodied the '60s spy craze. Created by Bob Kane, creator of Batman, and Al Brodax, creator of the Beatles Cartoon Show and Yellow Submarine, this fast- paced, rollicking, slapstick cartoon has all the right stuff. Fast, funny and frenzied, it also features voice actor Chuck McCann, who provides play by play commentary on many of the shows as a bonus feature.

This set also marks the strong entry into the DVD- making field of Ink and Paint, who have here produced a beautiful set, with three one- sided discs in three slip cases in a box set. There's a subtle tip of the hat in the cover blurb: "That suave secret agent from the swingin' sixties is back...for 2007", with the OO7 enlarged through a magnifying glass. This box set includes the full run of Cool McCool with twenty episodes, each consisting of two Cool segments sandwiching one Harry McCool 'toon (My pop the cop), who with cohorts Tom and Dick make up a very limited animation Keystone Kops team.

The show was also unique for its cool jazz theme, which starts "OO", another way of almost saying "007". Cool's tag line was "Danger is my business". Like Bond and Maxwell Smart, he had an array of super gadgets, and can whistle for the Cool Mobile, but they usually foul up and he winds up stammering the recurring line, "Sorry Number One, that will never happen again". Don't expect lavish Disney animation, but if you want to see an imaginative cartoon played for laughs, made, as were all of King's 'toons, on an extremely limited budget, it doesn't get any cooler than this.

Batman creator Bob Kane sent up Batman and Robin in his cartoon series "Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse" in 1960, which is well worth buying too, by the way.
A few years later, he sent up James Bond very well with Cool McCool. Courageous Cat voice artist Bob McFadden returns to voice Cool McCool himself.
Chuck McGann (voice of Thing and Blizzard in Marvel Action Hour in 1990s) voiced most of the other characters, including 2 out of the 3 cops in the Harry McCool segment.
Enjoy the laughs, the music, and some great extras including live convention footage of Chuck and interviews.
Packaging is great, with 3 indidvidual slimline cases, and all the episodes itemized with brief story synopses on the back covers. Click on "Buy", and have fun.
