5.0 out of 5 stars
Please release season one on DVD!!, October 6, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog [VHS] (VHS Tape)
My kids love this video and loved the series when it was on Fox. Unfortunately, we discovered the TV series towards the end of the season right before it was cancelled. My kids would love to watch the whole season one (they have watched this video countless times). Mystic knights is a fun video that doesn't take itself too seriously. The monsters aren't too scary, the heroes always win, and good values are somehow mixed in with the lot. There is of course a wizard, and valuation of powers not from God - a warning for those of you who find that offensive. But there is a good strong female character, and a black character who is very positively portrayed as a king's son who is trying to save his people.

Mystic Knights beat Power Rangers ANYDAY!, March 25, 2000
This review is from: Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In an attempt to "unhook" my son from those ever present Power Rangers, I picked up this movie. It is absolutely wonderful. Mystical creatures and places (all rooted in actual Irish folklore) combine with action on a tamer and more understandable level than the average Power Ranger flick. The characters are all well developed (for a children's movie) and amusing; and the special effects, while by no means dazzling to an adult, are enough to mystify any child. Throw in fairies, pixies, leprauchans and the occassional dragon, and you have a tale to spark the imagination. Now, my three year old son and two year old daughter both run around hollering "Fire Within Me" and "Air Above Me" instead of trying to karate chop each other!

although a kids' show, Mystic Knights of Tir-Na-Nog is a wonderful show for all ages. it combines ancient lore, celtic mythology, wonderful music and is filmed on location in ireland! the actors, especailly lochlann o'mearain and vincent walsh (rohan and angus), are wonderful at portraying thier characters. every episode is a freat adventure but this is an excellent introduction to the kingdom of Kells and the knights that fight for peace within the land.
