While the 3rd season of this series was the least interesting of the 3, the documentaries on Special Features more than made up for it. I think the 'Adventures of Young Indiana Jones' series was marvelous and highly educational. I highly recommend the DVD sets to anyone.

If you like history and adventure, the add-ons to this series are well documented on the disks. Excellent intro to the life of Henry "Indiana" Jones and the intertwining of history in his earlier years, thus, fiction is merged with the reality of the characters. This includes such characters as Mata Hari, Picaso, Lawrence of Arabia, Edison, Churchill, the Red Baron, Louie Armstrong, Freud, Schwitzer and others. Learned more about history as it was brought to life. Beautiful photography. Cudos to George Lucas. What makes this unique is the history lessons of the Ballet, Opera and others. Excellent. Volume III I consider hard to get. I had seen several episodes of the series on cable and decided to buy volume II (The war years). What I received was a pleasent surprise! Had to get all three volumes.

At the time of this review, I am 44 years old. Several years ago, I got my daughter (she's 14) into the whole "Indiana Jones" trilogy of major motion pictures. When all was said and done, she hungered for more. The recent release of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" helped but it only quenched her thirst for a short time. With that we went out and purchased a couple of Indiana Jones games for our game console at home. This helped as well. However, nothing has satisfied her as much as finding out how Indy came to be the man he is today as this series. It is both educational and entertaining (and it keeps her from getting interested in boys).
Any fan of Indy will surely enjoy the full length feature films collected here.

This series was made to be edu-tainment, and is a success in my book. The cost of each episode is reported to have been $1.5M US and it shows. Lots of beautiful footage shot on actual location.
The extras on each disc includes a bio of the famous people that Indy meets; and some historical data about the places that he visits.
I think this is an excellent way to introduce today's video generation to something beyond sit com TV. For example in one episode Indy has a few moments to discuss War with Albert Sweitzer.
I'm collecting the entire set and putting it away for my Grand children.

Absolutely 100% great condition - exactly as described. Quick and affordable shipment was a major plus as well.
