There's a lot of imagination and heart in these hand drawn images! There's a lot of cheese too, but that's part of the charm.

Some thoughts:

--I, um, would like to know more about Prince Adam's "fabulous secret powers."

--Princess Eudora's expression makes her look more drugged out than Carrie Fisher in RETURN OF THE JEDI. I know that they could only afford to give her one expression, but why that one?

--BRAVESTAR is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's one of those cartoons that I completely forgot about about until watching this. I don't know what it is about the idiosyncratic pairing of westerns and sci-fi, but this really works for me. That he's Native American is just awesome!

Plus, like, his horse is a DUDE!!!!


--You don't see many cats wearing leg warmers nowadays.

--I never realized quite how anime INSPECTOR GADGET was. Plus, he just incinerated his chief in a safe. Disturbing.


--One day, that gorilla is going to go ape and tear the Ghostbusters apart. You can't trust an animal like that.


--Speaking of which, a lesser family would have put Marmaduke to sleep.

--Okay, Gilligan! You're going into the airlock!

Of this set, GILLIGAN'S PLANET is easily the most painful. Can you imagine trying to sit through that cartoon (again)?


--You know? It really is a duck world, isn't it?

For those what can handle it, the entirety of Filmation's 1986 GHOSTBUSTERS animated series was released on DVD by BCI Eclipse, in two box sets, spread over eleven discs. If, for some reason I don't want to hear about, this is not enough Filmation GB, the complete live-action GHOST BUSTERS (1975) series was also released this year. Consumers will surely find it difficult to resist Bob Burns in gorilla suit and propeller beanie, especially for under $20.

A lot of Filmation's shows are on DVD now. I own the ARK II and JASON OF STAR COMMAND (live-action) sets, which come with entertaining extras. Filmation's THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN (with Adam West and Burt Ward providing their voices!) is out, and I believe TARZAN AND THE SUPER 7 is on its way. I think there are plans to put ISIS out, which will certainly be a good seller, but SHAZAM! is held up by rights issues.

ISIS is already out:

Secrets Of Isis at Amazon

You'll want to see this then:

Don't miss the little bit at the very end. :P
