DVD Reviews of Underdog (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: UnderDog succeeds
Summary: 4 Stars
Recalling from now distant memory, the UnderDog series, although crude by modern standards, was an integral player in my basic personality traits. This especially prevails in an under girding of belief that integrity, faithfulness, determination and upright morals can result in achievement of goals and overall success in life's pursuits. Although this assertion may be scoffed at or chuckled about, every child needs to see righteousness clearly demonstrated, even if clumsily or in fantasy.DVD Review: The "PC" police strike AGAIN
Summary: 2 Stars
ANOTHER American cultural icon from the 60's has been
deemed unacceptable by those who would prefer to see
malice where none exists.
Not even Underdog can escape the slings and arrows of
those with the same mentality as the book-burners of
1930's Germany.
Why do we allow such obvious Orwellian "Newsspeak" to
edit our past? Come on... this IS a cartoon, for Pete's
sake, NOT some social/political statement.
Nothing here needs to be edited or "cleaned up". These
are simple "good vs. evil" stories with a happy ending,
and should be offered in their entirety... music/songs,
credits and all.
And, if one is offended by ANY of this... then one may
exorcise one's freedom NOT to purchase such!
Nuff' said...
DVD Review: Not what people want
Summary: 1 Stars
The One Law of Marketing is "Give people what they want." As should be obvious from the other reviews, this release is definitely NOT what people want. The cartoons themselves are, frankly, not very good, but the show has a certain gentle charm and strong nostalgic appeal to Boomer pocketbooks.
The archival releases of Looney Tunes, the Simpsons, Jonny Quest, Top Cat and other classic animation has certainly raised the bar, but that doesn't mean that cartoons of lesser quality can't compete and sell well. But to do so, they have to (repeat after me) "Give people what they want." And what people want is to recreate the feelings they remember: Saturday mornings, plopped in front of the TV, slurping the flavored milk from the bottom of the cereal bowl. Bits and pieces won't do any more. If Golden don't get that, then they should hire someone who does. Then they can sit back, congratulate themselves on their extreme cleverness, and count their money.
One last note: I'm all in favor of minority opinions; sometimes important things can be learned from them. But the idea that there is racist, religionist or anything-ist sentiment in Underdog is just plain wrong. Like beauty, ugliness is in the mind of the beholder.
DVD Review: RIP-OFF!
Summary: 1 Stars
I give this one star because I'm way more bent out of shape than the previous poster -- the theme songs and intros WERE THE WHOLE REASON I BOUGHT THIS DVD TO BEGIN WITH! Let's face it, none of these cartoons were well-written or animated like the classic shorts of the 20s-40s, they basically serve the sole purpose of being boomer-nostalgia. Lacking the parts we all remember best, this DVD is stripped of all charm. My baby girl even hates this stuff, so the DVD is totally worthless as nostalgia or entertainment for kids. Wish I'd have read the reviews before buying this. Don't waste your money.One last thought: I'm Jewish and that earlier post about these cartoons being anti-semitic is one of the stupidest things I've ever read in here. Hate this DVD for being a crappy rip-off, but let's not fabricate bigotry where none exists.
DVD Review: A Jewish fan of Underdog
Summary: 5 Stars
I recall as a child watching every episode of Underdog.my favorite episodes were the one's with Simon Barsinister and Riff Raff.
also, as a Jewish person I see nothing anti-Semitic or racist in any of the Underdog episodes.
the politically correct person who referred to Underdog as "racist/anti-semitic" is obviously the type of individual that probably sees everything as racist in society.
in my humble opinion, Underdog was nothing more then a very entertaining cartoon for kids that was basically a spoof of superman with Sweet Polly Purebred representing Lois Lane.
