DVD Reviews of Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse - The Complete Series
DVD Review: Too much of an OK thing
Summary: 3 Stars
If Batman had been concieved for a "funny animals" comic book, this would be the result. It's not a spoof, so much as a shifting of the concept in a different environment. I find it fairly entertaining with a couple amusing gags in almost each cartoon, but it is severely hampered by the five minute episode format -- there just isn't much story that can be built up. It's a shame Bob Kane wasn't given a chance to work with somewhat longer stories to add a little depth. Still it is very interesting to see how Kane adapted his Batman concept to a totally different framework.
It's a shame they didn't bother to digitally remaster this material. It is watchable but the age definitely shows.
As other reviewers have said, it plays best if you watch only 2 to 4 episodes at a sitting. Of course, this is true of most short cartoons (Looney Tunes is the only series I can think of that holds up well to marathon viewing.) These cartoons were never intended to be watched for hours at a time.
My biggest complaint with this set is that it is just too much. Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse was a decent series and deserves release, but does anyone really need all 130 episodes? It wasn't that popular or significant. I think it would have been better served with a single disc "best of" collection.
One final quibble -- Minute Mouse's voice tends to get on my nerves. It makes sense for a mouse to have a squeaky voice, but his is just a bit too squeaky for comfort. Oh, well.
