Product Description
Description
It's right versus wrong; good over greed; niceness against naughtiness. That's the dedication of the terrific trio - the Drak Pack!
This 1980's cult-hit cartoon aired on the CBS network and follows the adventures of "Drak Jr." (Dracula's nephew), Howler and Frankie (the teenage descendants of The Werewolf and Frankenstein's Monster) as they teamed up to fight the forces of evil. The voice cast stars Alan Oppenheimer ("Skeletor" of He-Man) as Uncle Count Dracula, Jerry Dexter as Frankie, Hans Conried (narrator of many Dr. Seuss specials) as Dr. Dred, Don Messic ("Scooby" on Scooby Doo) as Toad and The Fly, Chuck McCann ("Ben/The Thing" on Fantastic Four) as Mummy-Man and Julie McWhirter (the voice of the animated Jeannie) as Vampira.

WHACK-O!,
By Christine C.S.M. (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drak Pack (DVD)
I got an early Christmas present when I found out the "Drak Pack" was coming to DVD. It's one of my favorite cartoons from the early 80s.The Drak Pack consists of Drak, Howler and Frankie. They are teenage descendants of Count Dracula, Wolfman and Frankenstein's monster (respectively). Drak is Count Dracula's nephew, but it's not said how Howler and Frankie are related to their relatives, i.e., nephew, son, brother. The Pack initially appear as normal human beings, but when they put their hands together and shout "whack-o" (that's called the Drak Whack), they become superheroes: Drak turns into a vampire, Frankie a monster and Howler a werewolf. Their mission is to make up for all the bad things their ancestors did. Drak can fly and change into a variety of shapes, but he usually goes with the standard bat. Frankie has super strength and his neck bolts shoot out electrical charges. Howler has super breath and an ultrasonic howl. They call each other by the same names whether they're human or monster. Sorta seems to defeat the purpose of that whole secret identity thing. They use their super powers to fight evil and the main bad guy is Dr. Dred. His henchmen are Toad (his "toady"), Mummyman, Fly and Vampira, and they collectively made up OGRE, the Organization of Generally Rotten Enterprises (it's also been referred to as Endeavors). When the Pack needs advice, they turn to Count Dracula, who they call "Big D." There were only 16 episodes made and in my opinion, this series was so underrated: The dialogue is surprisingly smart - and quite funny - for a Saturday morning cartoon. Count Dracula's and Dr. Dred's voices are some of the best done in an animated show/cartoon. And hearing Big D pine for his "old diet" or watching him (regularly) slam his fingers in the lid when he closes his coffin is priceless.

One of the Best Cartoons of the Early 1980s,

This review is from: Drak Pack (DVD)
There is only a certain number of cartoons that make a mark on a decadeand "Drak Pack" is one of them.When "Drak Pack" went on the air for one season from 1980-1981 it was good show from start to finsh and was well put together.The DVD set is well put together and plays well.The only thing wrong is that there isn't any bouns extras which would make the DVD set more interesting.But,still is nice for memory lane memories.

Every year I purchase a new Halloween flick... something whimsical and not gorey and I was so happy to find this series on DVD! It's a classic 80s cartoon and fun, to boot. The sound quality is great, as is the imagery.

It's a shame This Set is Really Cool Up to episode 5. I wish this had subtitles, The music is so loud I can't hear the voices at all, It's more like watching a show with an isolated score.

Not quite a classic, but enjoyable,

This review is from: Drak Pack (DVD)
Here's a mostly-forgotten bit of monster fun from Hanna Barbera, circa 1980. The Drak Pack centers on three teenage descendants of the legendary Dracula, Wolfman, and the Frankenstein monster. Instead of perpetuating the monsterous mythos of their ancestors, these guys are trying to do some good. Leading the pack is the "Big D" himself. Their comically-inept adversaries comprise the group O.G.R.E. (Organization for Generally Rotten Enterprises).Mix Scooby Doo and The Groovie Goolies and, well, you'd probably still come up with something a bit more fun and engaging than The Drak Pack. Still, it's good clean fun, especially for monster fans. As is typical of HB animated releases, the video and audio presentation are more than adequate, if unremarkable. There are no special features in the 3-disc set. Recommended mostly for nostalgia purposes; I imagine modern kids will find the humor and action rather bland. |
