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

I was surprised at just how good this cartoon is from what I remember it. The characters a brill: Flash Gordon and the Phantom together in one cartoon. It has to have the best theme music ever created for a cartoon - including anime. Sadly though the disgustingly cheap presentation of this box set ruins it. The DVD's come in paper bags which are placed inside the case. The picture on the outer box looks photocopied. When I received it I first thought it was a bootleg copy. Still it's a cheap way to get all the episodes and the quality of the picture and sound on the disks is good. It really is one of the best cartoons to come out of the 80's. The animation is far ahead of others at this time. The stories are good too and all the characters except for maybe the little monster thing called Snarf. Could've done without him.
