Product description

Filmed in VIDECOLOR explosions drum roll music builds to a climax and SUPERMARIONATION The opening sequence of Thunderbirds is itself a master class in Gerry Andersons marionette hyperbole: who else would dare to make a virtue out of the fact that a the show is in color and b its got puppets in it? But everything about this series really is epic: Thunderbirds is action on the grandest scale predating such high-concept Hollywood vehicles as Armageddon by 30 years and more the acting is better too and fetishizing gadgets in a way that even the most excessive Bond movies could never hope to rival. Unsurprisingly the visual effects are by Derek Meddings whose later contributions to Bond movies like The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker echo his pioneering model work here.As for the characters the clean-cut Tracey boys take second place in the audiences affections to their cool machines--the real stars of the show--while comic relief is to be found in the charming company of Lady Penelope and her pink Rolls license plate FAB1 driven by lugubrious chauffeur Parker whose Yes milady catchphrase resonated around school playgrounds for decades. Spare a thought for poor old John Tracey stuck up in space on Thunderbird 5 with only the radio for company. The puppet stunt work is breathtakingly audacious and every weeks death-defying escapade is nail-bitingly choreographed in the very best tradition of disaster movies. First shown in 1964 and now digitally remastered Thunderbirds is childrens TV that still looks and sounds like big-budget Hollywood.The Thunderbirds Mega Set contains 32 complete uncut and digitally remastered episodes on 12 DVDs.

"Filmed in VIDECOLOR [explosions, drum roll, music builds to a climax] and SUPERMARIONATION"! The opening sequence of Thunderbirds is itself a master class in Gerry Anderson's marionette hyperbole: who else would dare to make a virtue out of the fact that (a) the show is in color and (b) it's got puppets in it? But everything about this series really is epic: Thunderbirds is action on the grandest scale, predating such high-concept Hollywood vehicles as Armageddon by 30 years and more (the acting is better, too), and fetishizing gadgets in a way that even the most excessive Bond movies could never hope to rival. Unsurprisingly, the visual effects are by Derek Meddings, whose later contributions to Bond movies like The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker echo his pioneering model work here.

As for the characters, the clean-cut Tracey boys take second place in the audiences' affections to their cool machines--the real stars of the show--while comic relief is to be found in the charming company of Lady Penelope and her pink Rolls (license plate FAB1), driven by lugubrious chauffeur Parker, whose "Yes, milady" catchphrase resonated around school playgrounds for decades. (Spare a thought for poor old John Tracey, stuck up in space on Thunderbird 5 with only the radio for company.) The puppet stunt work is breathtakingly audacious, and every week's death-defying escapade is nail-bitingly choreographed in the very best tradition of disaster movies. First shown in 1964 and now digitally remastered, Thunderbirds is children's TV that still looks and sounds like big-budget Hollywood.

The Thunderbirds Mega Set contains 32 complete, uncut, and digitally remastered episodes on 12 DVDs. Bonus features include production stills photo galleries, two original 1965 "The Making of Thunderbirds" featurettes, the History of Thunderbirds, character biographies, and a Gerry Anderson biography/filmography. --Mark Walker

Thunderbirds Is Still Futuristic Even Today.

Bypinball_wizardon November 21, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I remember watching the Thunderbirds puppet series growing up in Canada, but I didn't get to see all of them until I bought this collection. They provided extra material detailing how the sets and the puppets were created and a little bit of the history of the series. I'm told many of the technical ideas presented in the Thunderbirds inspired NASA engineers, and I can vouch that some children that were exposed chose engineering as a vocation as they grew older, I'm one of them. The Thunderbirds episodes are fast moving, the villains are devious and smart, the technical wizardry is outstanding and almost believable, and there's even a little spy action that reminds one of James Bond.

Awesome - non-stop Action & Educational as well!

ByKathleen M.on December 7, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

My husband enjoyed this series as a child and wanted our boys to experience the thrill of this series as well. Our children especially enjoy all the vehicles used in every episode - rockets, air craft, submarines, all-terrain land rovers, etc.! There are lots of explosions and constant action which our boys enjoy, but the series also shows a core family works together to promote "good" in the world again "evil." The plots are interesting (even for adults who watch this series with their children) and every episode takes place in a different part of the world, so there's an opportunity to also discuss " world geography" with our children. Worth the investment!!

Great for first and second generations alike!

Bydefunctzombieon August 7, 2004

My mother called me downstairs one day and told me that she saw the Thunderbirds on television. I wasn't impressed at first by the show where marionettes save the day, but I decided to watch it for the heck of it and discovered that I actually liked it! The most popular of the Supermarionation series, Thunderbirds is a great family show. My 3 year old niece normally gets scared of science fiction shows, but the marionettes didn't bother her and pretty soon she was talking the "5..4..3..2..1 Thunderbirds are GO!" introduction. I think this is a great family show because the plot lines are easy to understand, such as helping people stuck in a building or stopping a crazy dude from hurting people. Also, the characters are so lively because they enjoy what they are doing. Many children from my mother's day were inspired by these lifesavers to become pilots and astronauts. Such a wonderful television show spawned 2 marionette movies and the 2004 live action film. Hopefully more people will enjoy the series a older generation grew on and a newer generation enjoys like a Star Wars or a Star Trek fan.

Just the best

ByIan Hopwoodon October 29, 2009

The best TV show for children (and big kids) ever, available at a price that works out less than $1 per episode!!! Gee Mr Tracy, I guess we have to call that a bargain. FAB. I was fortunate enough to watch this as a six year old when it first came out and have since seen other six year olds equally mesmorised when the series re-ran in the 80s. Must have set for Thunderbirds fans . Long live Gerry Anderson.

Still an awesome show.

ByDion May 18, 2014

I have good memories of watching Thunderbirds as a child and I wanted to relive these experiences but as is often the case a show that I loved as a child may not have the same appeal as an adult. I was wrong. This show still rocks! As an adult I can appreciate the time and effort it took to film a series like nothing else on television. I can only imagine how many scenes had to be invented to get the right shots to tell such exciting stories.

Super!

ByIke17055on January 20, 2009

Just wanted to add my thumbs up to this terrific set. Just purchased it and am thrilled with the first 6 episodes. can't wait to finish viewing everything. Growing up, I watched this program on a tiny black/white set and was totally captivated by it, even under those limitations. Along comes this mega-set with beautiful remastering, brilliant color, and widescreen aspect that pops off my big screen. Can't take my eyes off of it. I could not have imagined how good this series could look! Visually this couldn't be much better. 40 years later, I am finding much greater appreciation for the story lines and characters, and how well this entire series has been put together. Hats off to the creators and to those who produced it. It stands up well. This has been hours and hours of thorough enjoyment. Well worth the purchase price...

Amazing even 40 years later

ByScott M.on October 26, 2012

You almost forget, at times, that you're watching marionettes in action. The attention to detail, line, and scope in the animation is likewise spectacular. Of special note are the scenes with aircraft taking off, using simulated live-action dolly shots from a moving perspective to achieve an exciting effect that gets the heart racing. For a kid's show, this is quite a piece of work. Re-watching the series decades after my childhood, I am even more impressed now than I was then.
