3.0 out of 5 stars Animation better than other 60s' Marvel cartoons, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Amazing Spider-Man: The Origin of Spider-Man & The Kilowatt Kaper [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Of all the Marvel cartoons of the 1960s' obviously most of the effort was put into Spider-Man. The other Marvel cartoons; Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, etc. were lifted from now classic silver age comics. The animation of these cartoons is crude to say the least, but the story, dialogue and voice talent is top notch. Spider-Man's stories are all original animation adapted loosely from the comic stories. The story telling comes across as slightly 'hipper' (by late 60s' standards), and there is a lot of filler in the origin story. After all Spidey's origin in Amazing Fantasy #15, did not take-up the entire issue. Although Fox could have fit more than 2 episodes on a VHS tape, I would still recommend this video to anyone who is a comic book fan or Saturday morning cartoon buff.

Stan Lee was certainly proud when the Marvel heroes made thier animated TV debuts in the mid 1960's.Spider-Man remains the best of this series which ran two seasons on ABC.This video is a treasure to me!the two episodes are in comic-book style form.The cartoon animation was'nt flashy, but good for it's time. Excelsior! Stan Lee!!!

I bought this video last year. Its about 45 minutes long. It faithfully tells the story how Peter Parker became Spider-man. He goes to a science demonstration. Check's out an experiment and get's bitten by a radioactive spider. Later, he goes for a walk to get some air, and finds that he can cling to walls just like a spider." Kiliwatt Kaper", is the return of Electro. He want's to drain all of NY cities power, and hold it for ransom. Can Spidey stop Electro in time! Watch this episode & find out!
