5.0 out of 5 stars Ah - A trip down memory lane - and really not bad, even today!, September 4, 2008

The Space Angel was one of those early sixties cartoon that came out early in the space race. As noted by others, the Space Angel was done by the same folks who did Clutch Cargo, which became a bit of cult favorite because the voice sync was done by superimposing actors' moving lips on still drawings. In effect, what you have is someone animating a comic book - good to excelent art work, but very limited animation. But, it is this wonderful art work that redeems Space Angel - notably that by Alex Toth, who helped on Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, and a host of others. And really, the plots are not too bad - and the science is reasonably accurate - yeah, it gets strained at times - but really the basics are there.

So, an enjoyable trip down memory lane - the prints and sound tracks are in excellent shape! Well worth its modest price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fun bit of nostalgia from the days of primitive animation!!!, June 18, 2008

This review is from: Space Angel Collection One (DVD)

I just got done reviewing the 'maybe it'll be released' DVD of Marvel Superheroes '66 Collection. Disney has the rights to that collection and it seems that it's release has been delayed. We'll hope and pray it sees the light of day.

It made me think immediately of this cartoon, though, because I used to watch Space Angel and Marvel Superheroes (and Gumby as well I think) on early Sunday mornings in the Albany, NY area (can't remember which television station) back in the mists of time. I was young and it was probably the early 70s, a few years after it's original release. I was too young when it first aired, being born in 1964.

Even as I was watching it as a kid I realised that it was cheap animation. I was already watching Walt Disney and Fleischer Popeyes, so I could tell this wasn't as good, but I loved it anyway. Partially due to the fact that there were hardly any cartoons on Sunday mornings! But also because the Space theme was cool.

Thanks to VCI (no, I don't work for them) for being the company to finally release this. I would have preferred a full season set (not sure if there was more than one season), but this will do the trick in the absence of any other release.

I know that this will sell if VCI can just get the word out to adults of my generation, so best of luck to them.
