Beany & Cecil

Summary: Save our Sea Serpent
Review: This is one amazing DVD. It's just chock full of information about and entertainment from this very pioneering TV legend Bob Clampett. People in awe of Jim Henson need to go back several decades and see what inspired him. What's so wonderful is that the live-action puppet show translated so well into the full color cartoons. The spirit of the characters remains in tact, including that innocent, hilarious Cecil who was the inspiration for Bullwinkle. The features on this disc are truly the best you can get from a DVD and Image Entertainment needs to be saluted. There's a wonderful commentary segment from one of the actors Stan Freberg that is funny and enlightening. The meticulous vision that Clampett had for TV as a medium, when it was just starting to come into being, is clearly underscored on this entire disc. I almost wish it had more and pray that more episodes will get released on DVD, including the handful produced by John Krisfalusi (Ren and Stimpy) in the late 80s. Even if you've never heard of Beany and Cecil, somehow because everyone's borrowed from them in one way or another (from the Muppets to Captain Kangaroo to Rocky and Bullwinkle to Sifl and Olly), they seem vaguely familiar. This is why God made DVDs.

Summary: A cool cartoon!
Review: Watching this DVD did not bring back any memories for me because I am only 12. My technology teacher showed it to my class demonstrating the DVD player. I thought that it was a really neat and funny cartoon. I am going to buy this DVD. I recommend this to anyone. Also, you are getting your moneys worth with this DVD. It is loaded with hours of cartoon footage.
