1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Sci-Fi Cartoons of All Time, April 27, 2004
(...)you almost can't watch this DVD once. But if you want to appreciate the great things Hanna-Barbera did with limited animation, watch these to see how badly others did it. The one exception is "The Lunar Luger," because it's Col Bleep from 1956, the incredibly imaginative series that John Kricfalusi parodies (and paid tribute to) in the Ren and Stimpy cartoons "Marooned" and "Space Madness." Of course some of these cartoons aren't sci-fi ((...) it's "not as advertised") and some of them aren't even cartoons. There's a George Pal Puppettoon (interesting in its own right), "Jasper in a Jam." There's also a live-action instructional film called "Duck and Cover," showing school kids what to do in case of a nuclear attack (also interesting as a bit of history). But if you want sci-fi cartoons, wait until Terrytoons make it onto DVD and watch Astroboy, or get Col. Bleep when he finally gets to DVD (he made it to VHS), and (hooray!) The Jetsons have finally shown up. Then there are the incredible Fleischer Superman cartoons. After all, some of the best cartoons were sci-fi themed--you'd think they could have found some for this DVD.

If you enjoy cartoons ... avoid this product!

If you enjoy sci-fi ... avoid this product!

If you enjoy sci-fi cartoons ... avoid this product!

While I understand a good review should detail parts of the product, I nearly had to stab myself in the eye to get to the end of the cartoons in order to end my misery. As such I refuse to expend the effort to go into great detail for such a shameless titling as "The Greatest Sci-Fi Cartoons of All Time" ... argh.

3.0 out of 5 stars Animated Potpourri, February 20, 2009
By Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Forget the misleading "Sci-Fi" title and enjoy some classic public-domain animation. Among the highlights in this 87-minute potpourri: George Pal's 1946 Puppetoon "Jasper in a Jam," with a memorable vocal from Peggy Lee; "Granite Hotel" (1940), a sepia-tinted Max Fleischer Stone Age cartoon; the legendary 1950s Civil Defense short "Duck and Cover"; Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion "The Story of King Midas" (1953); and the Oscar-winning "The Hole" (1962) by John and Faith Hubley. Ironically, the two Superman cartoons - "Electric Earthquake" (1942) and "The Underground World" (1943) - have nothing to do with science fiction. An uneven collection, to be sure, but worth buying at a bargain price.
