Summary: Worst Sci-Fi Cartoons of All Time
Review: (...)you almost can't watch this DVD once. But if you want to appreciate the great things Hanna-Barbera did with limited animation, watch these to see how badly others did it. The one exception is "The Lunar Luger," because it's Col Bleep from 1956, the incredibly imaginative series that John Kricfalusi parodies (and paid tribute to) in the Ren and Stimpy cartoons "Marooned" and "Space Madness." Of course some of these cartoons aren't sci-fi ((...) it's "not as advertised") and some of them aren't even cartoons. There's a George Pal Puppettoon (interesting in its own right), "Jasper in a Jam." There's also a live-action instructional film called "Duck and Cover," showing school kids what to do in case of a nuclear attack (also interesting as a bit of history). But if you want sci-fi cartoons, wait until Terrytoons make it onto DVD and watch Astroboy, or get Col. Bleep when he finally gets to DVD (he made it to VHS), and (hooray!) The Jetsons have finally shown up. Then there are the incredible Fleischer Superman cartoons. After all, some of the best cartoons were sci-fi themed--you'd think they could have found some for this DVD.
