5.0 out of 5 stars My all time favorite animation from my childhood, December 15, 2000

By A Customer

I am 41 years old and remember snow days and weekends at home waiting to see this animated tale. It was introduced with a narration by Art Linkletter talking to a child or children about the tale of the Snow Queen. As the story unfolds you are drawn to the colors and voices of this story as well as the characters. The journey that these children endure never seemed dull to me and I am looking forward to sharing this classic with my children. I can see it is the same animated version I knew as a child,only difference being the addition ofnew voices for the characters. It will be a surprise until opened at Christmas.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lacking the entire vocal world, February 13, 2006

By	KF "K" (Finland, Espoo) - See all my reviews

I also was disappointed, that the original russian language soundtrack was completely missing from this collection, though that could be made known before purchasing this item so it was not a surprise.

But the thing they *DIDN'T* mention and which was the worst major disappointment, was that they have changed the music and songs of this animation ENTIRELY!! There was nothing left from the beauty of the original melodies of the songs. I was a child when I last saw this (now 26), but I noticed immediately that they had changed the entire soundworld of the animation. The only good thing in this was the animation itself.

I really wonder why they did have to change the entire vocal world of this animation. Should it been at least the original music and song melodies...but there is pretty much nothing left of the memory I carry in my heart of this animation.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Lost in Translation", September 15, 2005

By	Katya Sylvester (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews

"Alice and the Mystery of the Third Planet" was my favorite cartoon growing up. I've seen it so many times - I had it memorized down to minute details of character intonations. While the story itself if fairly basic, the wonderfully crafted dialog, sharpness of each line, as well as the outstanding voice acting, made "Mystery of the Third Planet" a true pop-culture icon of my generation.

Unfortunately, all the acting talent involved in creating the English version of the sound-track wasn't enough to compensate for the quite sub par quality of the translated dialog. Not only did it fail to convey the beauty of the original, it made even the basic plot-line difficult to follow. And what's even more frustrating, the original Russian sound track is NOT EVEN INCLUDED on the DVD.

I for one would not call this "Stories From MY Childhood".
