Thundercats: Season One, Volume Two (DVD, 2005)

I LOVED the Thundercats as a kid (and still do today). Over the last 6 years I have spent WAY too much money on "homemade", "bootleg" Thunrdercats VHS and DVD sets. I just wanted to have those episodes again...but the quality was always pretty poor.

Now, this new DVD set is of course, top rate quality; sound and picture. It's just like seeing them on tv, but better (no commercials). I am not here to tell you how great the Thundercats are, or how interesting the character are, or how much I liked the series...I am here to report on the DVD set itself. That's the point of this review.

I loved the DVD box set's cover. It's a hologram, featuring movement, of Lion-o, brandishing his mighty Sword of Omens. I enjoy just looking at the box! Episodes are all in order and great quality, but there are no extras. The point of getting DVD sets is not just for the shows but for the extras...behind the scenes stuff...such as artwork, hearing from the writers and producers, audio commentaries, interviews with the voice actors...stuff like that. If this set had even a few of those features, I would be over the moon (over over New Thundera's moon, anyway). But it does not. It's just the episides and that's it. So, if like me, you're looking for just taht little bit extra, you will probably be disappointed.

Again, I am not complaining about the Thundercats at all...I am complaining about the people who put this DVD set together. We dedicated fans have been waiting 20 years for this to come out; you think in all that time they'd be able to get a little extra insider's information for us.
