9 episodes of D&D for $9? Do yourself a favor and fork over $5 more for the complete 27 episode version... unless your a completist, the picture disc IS different for this release (it contains the title "The Animated Series, Beginnings" and has a cool world map, a layout of the land -- Tolkien style). It does not even remotely compare to the $40 BCI edition with all of the extras; and remastered, espcially in comparison that it's missing the other 18 episodes. This introduction DVD version, played on my Blu-ray player couldn't even help color-correct this edition; parts would be 'bright' and then all of a sudden wash-out and get dull; at approximately 3 hours and 18 minutes, it felt awfully compressed. The sound is great; the packaging is ultra strange, a huge clam case that holds... one envelope.

Why are they releasing this when there's already the Complete Series out?

Honestly.

This collects the first 9 episodes of the 80s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. It is a little slow to get going but after awhile it was o.k. Has Tiamat in the picture. A group of kids go on a magical fair ride where they are transported to a differant realm and become fantasy characters: ranger, acrobat, thief, cavalier, wizard and barbarian. I thought it was o.k.

Although it is a great animated cartoon that enjoyed when I was a boy, it is also a copy of all the same episodes in the orginal series that are enjoyed as well.
