Wanted to see if anyone wanted to discuss this release.
I've been pretty excited about this release for the few months that I've known it was coming. I picked it up yesterday and watched the first 4 episodes with my 2 year old son. It's still a fun cartoon. The dvd release is good enough and priced right. The episodes don't seem to have had any restoration but look good. The colors seem to be a little muted and don't come across too bright, although Hong Kong Phooey's orange robe seems very bright at times. I've read a few reviews commenting on the lack of background animation and at first I too was a little put off by it, but then I remembered that it's a product of its time. (early seventies) what about the pink panther cartoons. I believe it was intentional and comes across as more artsy and it's growing on me. What's funny though, as I watched the first episode as a child I don't remember the minimal artwork at all!
Anyway, would love to hear any other comments on this fun release which brought about some good childhood memories.
