1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible set, September 15, 2010

This review is from: Defenders of the Earth - The Complete 65 Episode Series (DVD)

This show was pretty great and it still holds up for the most part. The problem here is the terrible product provided. The image and sound is awful. They've crammed too many episodes onto each disc. The artwork and packaging in general is very substandard. No extras whatsoever. It is priced very low but not even worth that.

The stories are worth watching with the antagonist actually a general challenge for the heroes, coming up with new and interesting ways to fail. Unfortunately the animation is very primative. Some of the set pieces are worth viewing but you are almost better closing your eyes and listening to the voices over watching the jerky animation.

I must say i have really high praises for cartoons from the 80's era... although, some parts look like its just paper dolls moving, the level of effort and detail greatly surpasses a lot of todays animations...

however, like a lot of cartoons from the 80's, there are so many episodes that just doesn't have certain excitement factors in them... after 1 cd, i had to take a break from it and move on to the next series that i bought. I will still watch it though, but alternating is the best way to go. I dont think i could stand watching all 65 episodes in one go.
