Summary: Equal portions of Sick & Cute...
Review: If Itchy & Scratchy is making fun of Tom & Jerry, then Happy Tree Friends is making fun of Itchy & Scratchy! Perfect for any sick-minded psycho with an open sense of humor. That said, I give it five stars!

Summary: Not for those faint of heart or stomach.
Review: If you don't like cartoon violence, don't even watch. These little creatures take cartoon violence soaring to new heights. Basically, there is a cast of adorable characters who just happen to have minor problems - Flippy has Vietnam flashbacks that make him go on killing sprees; Handy is the handyman that has no hands; Lumpy is, well...Lumpy. Each cartoon is only about a minute long, but it is always fun to watch the different ways the writers of the show come up with to have the characters kill each other off (always purely by accident). It is just a fun show, NOT FOR KIDS, that you watch when you need your spirits uplifted.

Summary: Makes Itchy and Scratchy look like Disney
Review: If you like the idea of a totally sick and demented cartoon masquerading as a cute and cuddly children's cartoon, then you may want to check out the Happy Tree Friends. I was laughing hysterically within minutes of putting in this DVD for the first time.
The DVD includes 16 episodes (14 episodes, plus the original episode, plus a "bonus" episode). However, they are EXTREMELY short. Each episode runs for about 1 minute. I watched all 16 in about 20 minutes. The DVD lists a running time of 140 minutes. Apparently, they are including all of the "extras" in that running time. Of the remaining 120 minutes, most of it is the Creator's commentary (several of the creators discuss the cartoon as the episodes are played without sound next to images of the original storyboards), as well as a mini-feature where the creators go through a bunch of their earliest sketches of the characters.
In addition, there are 4 "Smootchies" on the DVD. These are take-offs of the "Tamagoochie" thingamambobs that were popular for a little while (the little digital pets that kids were supposed to "take care of" by pushing buttons to "feed" or "play" with the pet). Each "Smootchie" features a different Happy Tree Friends character, and each offers 3 buttons that lead to various disturbing deaths for the character in question. I found this very amusing at first, but the humor was wearing off by the time I finished all three options on the last "Smootchie".
All in all, I am glad I purchased this DVD, as the cartoons are hysterical. However, I am disappointed that there is only 20 minutes worth of actual cartoons, especially since there are a number of Happy Tree Friends episodes that are not on the DVD. Instead of splitting it up into 2 DVDs so they can charge twice as much, it would have been nice if they had given Volume 1 enough episodes to make it longer than 20 minutes worth. Especially since many of the episodes can be viewed for free on the Happytreefriends.com website.

Summary: holy .funniest cartoons ever
Review: If you love to see furry cute animals having their eyes poked out and intestines splattered all over the road, this is it. These guys are better than itchy and scratchy. So much violence, so much blood and pain. This is a great party DVD, its a little short but worth every penny. Buy this now you wont be dissappointed. WARNING this is not for anyone under 16 years old alot of blood and violence!

Summary: Yawn... there are better forms of humour than this.
Review: If you're an indignant, rebellious, and illiterate teenager or a spiteful, unfulfilled, reclusive adult who appreciates blood for sheer shock value then you'll probably enjoy this shlock.
Unlike the hilarious escapades of South Park and the Simpsons' "Itchy And Scratchy", these Webtoons severely lack any sort of entertainment substance.. they're nothing but pure, unabashed gruesome violence. Plunk! there's a brightly-coloured cutesy-poo animal (30 seconds pass) and plunk! there goes some part of its anatomy... no point, no depth, no humour value whatsoever, just lots and lots gore, squealing, and biological sound effects. Part of the reason that cartoon slapstick is supposed to be funny is that it is violence without pain- and there's plenty of both in these clips.
You could pull the legs off grasshoppers or dissect squirrels to have as much fun as watching this DVD. If watching the likes of "Celebrity Deathmatch", reading "Squeak The Mouse", getting off on seeing roadkill, and seeing intense pain in the face of someone else appeals to you, then you're the type to buy and enjoy this DVD... and get some therapy while you're at it.

Summary: Just watch them online
Review: If you're even looking at this review, you know what Happy Tree Friends is, and what to expect. You'll already know whether or not you'll find the stuff on this DVD funny. But I wouldn't really reccomend you buy this DVD, unless you just have to have the cartoons on a disc. Considering the price, and the ridiculously short run time of the DVD, this is very poor value for money - especially when you consider there's a second volume that could easily fill out this disc. The compression isn't very good on this one, so I doubt it was a space issue. While I love the Happy Tree Friends, I just can't imagine parting with that much money for so little. I reccomend just watching them online.

Summary: Best....Cartoon.....Ever
Review: My Dad first showed me this a few weeks ago and I've been watching it ever since. This is the funniest cartoon I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it then just imagine the Itchy and Scratchy show from the Simpsons now just imagine 100 X funnier than that. If you don't believe me go to happytreefriends.com and see an episode for your self and see how extremely funny this is. This is a must have DVD for all!

Summary: MASTERPIECE
Review: My son asked for this DVD for Christmas. I didn't know what it was all about, so came on here and to read the reviews. I was stunned. The cover of the DVD looks cute. Thought it was about adorable animals. Went on the happytreefriends.com website and actually watched a couple of episodes. This made me sick to my stomach. It's even worse that they market this trash to young children.
Needless to say I will not be purchasing this for my son. If any parent actually buys this DVD filled with gratuitious violence, then in my opinion, they are totally irresponsible and bordering on bad parents. Allowing a child to view depections of animals getting maimed and tortured is sick. Personally I don't think Amazon should even carry this trash.
