DVD Reviews of Todd McFarlane's Spawn: The Animated Collection
DVD Review: Watch this in the dark
Summary: 5 Stars
Well after suffering the old collection of the show for years and I was never really able to sit through the whole thing due to the format on the old discs due to the combination of it not being broken up by episode and the horrible flipdisc format they used on the media, I really missed this show and heard about how great a treatment it got in the 10th Anniversary set, I thought the price was pretty agreeable and decided to pick it up. The picture is improved big time and the new proper 5.1 sound mix is really good too, it really brings out the creep factor that I think was always intended in the shows sound design it gave it a lot more of a mood then I was ever used to it having, but in a positive way. I watched this show as it aired on HBO and then watched the VHS recordings I'd made then moved on to the old DVD set and this 10th anniversary edition is quite definitive so far as the quality of the picture, sound and packaging is concerned. I still thought they skimped a little on special features, it could have stood to have commentary on every episode, there are only 18 and as it stands there are only four commentary tracks on each season premier episode and then the final episode. They did include a whole bonus disc that had some neat stuff and I think some other stuff just to have on the back of the packaging as a special feature.
It's been a while since I can recall a DVD collection of episodic television that was this well rounded for optimum ease of viewing, you can watch by episode or choose to play all they also have the entire DVD broken down in a separate menu by sections in the story. Selecting an episode from the one-at-a-time menu prompts you to another menu that features a brief synopsis of the episode which is nice for tracking down a particular episode you wanted to see, I wish more DVD sets of TV shows had this included in them.
The packaging and disc artwork are just beautiful everything I liked about the show and it's style that was based on the first 20 issues of the comic book. The only thing I didn't like about the packaging was the clips that hold the discs, they are a real pain to get the disc off of and then a couple of them snapped under the slightest pressure. I've never seen insets like this before and I have a lot of DVD's, I don't know why they didn't just go with a more standard form makes me worry that someday my discs will just be floating around the case unsecured.
This is a very dark both in content and artistic style show that moves very slowly at whats often a really sludgy pace. For a cartoon about a comic book super hero there really isn't much action and after the first three or four episodes it really doesn't follow the comic books at all and instead segues off into it's own contained story line apart from the comics. I don't really consider this to be a bad thing in any way I just thought I'd mention it for anyone reading who hasn't seen the show. Each episode is directed in a gothic horror style, like a monster movie where the monster is never seen all the way. I think throughout the whole course of the show you never once get a good look at Spawn, he's always obscured in a shadow or by his cloak. It's an interesting way to go about it, it's also beautifully voice acted by all involved Keith David is incredible as Spawn and everyone else is really well realized as well.
