June 12, 2009 Dead Ted Danson (Truth Or Consequences, New Mexicock) 19 out of 19 found this review helpful I just got this set in the post this morning, and I have to say, I almost didn't believe it was really getting released until I held it in my hands, so convinced was I that Disney or someone else had a chokehold on the distribution rights. Once again, as with unedited classic WWF pay per view events, we UK-dwellers are treated to something or US counterparts are not. Which is only fair, because they usually get everything first anyway. br / br /The set itself is well presented, although the artwork is a little cheap, and clearly done in a way as to mimic the style of the 90s series. Anyone who has the recent X-Men Season releases will be familiar with this. Unlike those, this one also has a slipcase. A booklet with episode synopses is also included. br / br /I've recently come to realise this show is probably on a par with Batman, as both have their merits and drawbacks. While Batman has the better scores, acting and one-episode plots, Spider-Man has season-long arcs, which when viewed in succession make for great television. That's not to say the acting or music in Spider-Man is crap, by the way. Christopher Barnes is BRILLIANT as Spider-Man (especially in those fleeting moments of extreme rage), and the guests were memorable too, particularly Rob Paulsen's oafish Hydro Man and sexiest-voice-ever Jennifer Hale as Felicia Hardy/ Black Cat (that's Metal Gear's Naomi Hunter for you non-animation-buffs). br / br /The music was great too, but while Spider-Man relied on several repeated (HEAVILY repeated) cues, each Batman episode had a fresh, full orchestral score by some of the best in the business. Another thing about Spider-Man is that even after all these years I find myself being surprised by some of the plot twists, which were even more abundant upon first viewing. Thankfully, John Semper (creative head of the show) was bold enough to change much of the original stories to make them worth animating in the first place. What else? A minor triumph, but the colouring on this cartoon is the best of any I've ever seen. A simple praise. While the show lost its way during the muddled fourth year it had some great episodes in the last series, with one of the greatest resolution-with-cliffhanger endings in animation history. A rare treat in that its much, much better than you remember it. br / br /The first series holds some of the best episodes- the three-parter, "The Alien Costume"- a marvellous introduction for the ultimately underused Venom (a deliciously insane Hank Azaria)- and the two-part "Hobgoblin" are among the best in the show's five-year run. "Night of the Lizard", a pilot of sorts, is interesting in that there's an awful lot more effort put into the animation than in later episodes, as is often the case. The rest of the single-episode stories deal with classic villains including Mysterio, Dr. Octopus (no longer a nerd but a beefy cool guy) and The Chameleon. br / br /The full list of episodes is: br / br /Disc 1- Episodes 1-6 br /------------------------------------------------------------------------ br /Night of the Lizard br /The Sting of the Scorpion br /The Spider Slayer br /Return of the Spider Slayers br /The Menace of Mysterio br /Doctor Octopus: Armed and Dangerous br / br /Disc 2- Episodes 7-13 br /------------------------------------------------------------------------ br /The Alien Costume Parts 1-3 br /Kraven the Hunter br /The Hobgoblin Parts 1-2 br /Day of the Chameleon br / br /In terms of DVD specifics, the episodes look great presented in their original ratio of 4:3 (not widescreen), but no worse when stretched to fill the screen. The audio is in available in English, German, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian, and the subtitles in Finnish and Dutch. br / br /With a pre-order up for the complete (unlike those half aand half X-Men releases) second season on the distributor's website it looks as though Clearvision is motoring ahead with releasing the complete show. There's no better place to start than here, so if you've been a fan for years, want something for the kids or are simply feeling nostalgic, pick this up. Animation from the 1990s doesn't come much better than this, and Marvel have yet to top it. Finally The Best Spiderman Series Is Released May 27, 2009 Mr. C. R. Empson 3 out of 5 found this review helpful I have been waiting for fourteen years now and finally the 1990's spiderman series is being released. This series has the closest storylines to the comic books and the characters backgrounds are explained. My favourite villian in this series is of course venom but there is also great villians such asDr Oct, Hobgoblin, Shocker Rhino. There are also crossovers with blade, daredevil, x men and the fantastic 4 on later episodes. I can't wait to receive this boxset. Get it while you can! May 31, 2009 M. Maharajh (USA) 4 out of 7 found this review helpful This seems TOO good to be true! This series is LONG over due as far as being released. br / br /Marvel seems to be really poor when it comes to releasing their animated properties. Just like with 67 Spiderman series and the 1996 Hulk series they release them, and then suddenly they discontinue them and they can no longer be found. Get this while you can folks! SpiderMan:The Animated Series finally comes to DVD June 25, 2009 C. Miles 1 out of 1 found this review helpful As an American, I grew up watching this show. I am thrilled that it is now available on DVD. I haven't seen this show in years, and when it was on, I never saw the whole series in order. While a UK (Region 2) release, I did not hesitate to buy it. It's relatively easy to watch DVD from different regions these days. Additionally, there is not an official release in the Unites States yet. Besides, Clear Vision is doing a far better job with their Marvel DVD releases than the company who has the distribution rights in the states (I won't mention names). I also have Clear Vision's X-men releases too, and they are just as good. As the price is very very fair, I don't mind not having any special features on the discs. This show is good enough to stand on its own. The presentation is very good. This SpiderMan set is two DVDs each with their own unique DVD artwork (Disc 1 has SpiderMan in his tradition costume, whereas Disc 2 features him in the black "alien" costume). There is an episode guide and a slip cover for the set. The video quality of the episodes I've seen looks really good. If you are a fan of this SpiderMan cartoon, or SpiderMan in general, get this DVD set. Season 2 will be released pretty soon, according to amazon. Finally... June 26, 2009 Anthony Scattergood 1 out of 2 found this review helpful The greatest Spider-man cartoon is finally on DVD, and still as fantastic as it was 14 years ago.
