DVD Reviews of The Simpsons - Bart Wars
DVD Review: A single episode tied into "Star Wars" rest is very good
Summary: 4 Stars
Pity Darth Vader. He used to represent the worst that the dark side could do. Darth Vader needs to be scared. Very Scared. Bart Simpson represents the darkest side of the force and Darth, he's going to whip your butt. The entertainment business is like ILG (the company that advertises on TV in "The Simpsons" as recycling the essential chemicals of your body into food stuff); it's all about recycle, recycle, recycle. The good news is that this recycled set (which has four episodes that come from the years 1992, 1995, 1997 and 1998). "Bart Wars", alas, isn't all tied into "Star Wars" but Mark Hamill DOES appear in one episode in Luke Skywalker garb. There are four delightful episodes from the series included here including the classic "Dog of Death" where Santa's Little Helper (Bart's dog) must have an expensive operation. The Simpsons resent him so much afterward they sell him to Mr. Burns where SLH becomes an evil hound till Bart's love wins him back. Sigh. "Marge Be Not Proud" focuses on Marge's reaction when Bart shoplifts a new video game he can't afford. In "The Secret War of Lisa Simpson" Lisa (and Bart) join a new military school and must survive an obstacle course. In "Mayored to the Mob"
The family attends a science fiction convention where Homer saves Mark Hamill from an unruly mob. This changes Homer's life and he decides to become a bodyguard to the Mayor. The mob is now after the Mayor. The mob is in for a very big surprise.
The same masters used for the boxed sets were used for this set as well so, needless to say, the image quality is exceptionally good with bright colors, nice sharp image quality and minimal digital artifacts. The stereo surround soundtrack is pretty good as well making good use of the format. The dialogue (one of the delights of any "Simpsons" episode) comes across bright and clear.
Although it isn't advertised on the box, there are extras with this set. The extras are drawn from the boxed set and are for the episode "Mayored to the Mob". We get an animatic section for the first act, an animation showcase that allows you to use the angle button to change the view from storyboards, animatic and the completed episode. Two of the options are shown as picture-in-picture in the lower left and right hand corner of the screen. It's a pity that Fox didn't do here as they did with the themed "X-Files" sets and include new commentary tracks or even preview an episode that hasn't aired on TV yet (much as Paramount has done with some "SpongeBobSquarePants" episodes).
If you'd like to own just a little slice of Simpson heaven, this is a pretty good place to start. As much as I love this show, I doubt I'll be collecting every season on DVD (I'd have no place to put my other DVDs afterwards) so the fact that Fox is releasing a taste like this is good but could be improved.
I'd suggest, however, that they release a highlights disc for each season consisting of 8 episodes with extras for the best two along with commentary tracks since they already have access to them. It's a great way for a casual fan to collect the series. Fox didn't have to put any extras on this one and I'm happy that they did include some.
