3.0 out of 5 stars REMASTERED means REVISED Jonny Quest DVD Box Set, Jun 21 2004

By

Ron Comes (Maywood,New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Johnny Quest:S1 (DVD)

When the JONNY QUEST DVD Box Set was finally released I was one of the first to buy it. The wait for these fantastic episodes was finally over. And what a long wait its been! What a shame it is then that the "politically correct" people at Warner Brothers found it their duty to EDIT, that's right, EDIT these classic cartoons! A typical EDIT from DISC ONE "Pursuit of the Po-Ho" A purple Race Bannon confronts the Po-Hos who have Dr. Quest held hostage with,"All right you ignorant savages, get a load of Aquizio you heathen monkeys!" The "REMASTERED" version is a watered down, "Get a load of Aquizio!" All the while Race's mouth is moving but no words come out! At least no words that some idiots at Warners find offensive. Who are they and how dare they think they can just EDIT someone elses work! What's even more outrageous is that for some reason they don't have a problem showing the UN-EDITED versions on their own CARTOON NETWORK! Get it together guys and RE-ISSUE the Jonny Quest Box Set UNTOUCHED, UN-EDITED, and truly REMASTERED as your packaging states! And the next time you think its "your job" to EDIT a classic cartoon, DON"T! Thank GOD your EDIT MONKEY kept his stinking paws off the LOONEY TUNES Box Set!

2.0 out of 5 stars Still Not Complete After Such A Long Wait..., Jun 26 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Johnny Quest:S1 (DVD)

The shows themselves rate five stars, of course. The two star rating is for the presentation, merited by the following:

1. Dialogue edits from "Pursuit of the Po-Ho"
2. Dialogue edits from "Monster In The Monastery"
3. Atrocious, hack artwork on the box
4. Cutting of JQ title cards from the introduction sequences
5. Use of only one end credit sequence (the only one without creator Doug Wildey's name on it) for all 26 episodes
6. Amping up the colors to an eye-straining saturation level
7. Ridiculous modern extras; as a previous reviewer stated, they should've included pre-production artwork and/or Hoyt Curtin's musical cues

Never, never, never, NEVER trust a bunch of hamfisted, bottom-line watching suits to preserve something like this in the definitive, most complete way it should be. The Peter Principle is alive and well in every company big & small, and this set was spit out by one of the biggest. Keep those VHS copies handy...

4.0 out of 5 stars JONNY ! JONNY !, July 20 2004

By

The Critic "Movie Maniac" (Windsor) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Johnny Quest:S1 (DVD)

Overall with its high tech gadgets / lasers and well written and imaginative stories, "Jonny Quest" remains one of my favorite animated shows from my childhood; I really did grow up in the era of great Television. This DVD set is a real treat for the whole family and for the new legion of "Jonny Quest" fans waiting to discover him. In my opinion the newer versions of the "Jonny Quest" series can't hold a candle to the original and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath. I bought this DVD release because my memories of this amazing show had all but faded and purely for nostalgia. All things considered and given the age of this show the picture and sound are really clear and crisp. The opening theme music is still catchy and it pulls you in from the moment you hear it. The colors are vivid and sharp; better than I can remember seeing on any previous VHS or Television viewing. In the "Jonny Quest" complete series set, you get all 26 episodes and some special features spread out over four single sided discs with great disc artwork.

The cast of "Jonny Quest" aren't getting any younger so a where are they now or reunion feature would have been a great addition to this release. I guess my only complaint is that the outer packaging doesn't hold up very well. The outer box slip cover is a pain to take off and put back on and I have had a couple of the discs fall off their posts.

DVD Episodes:
-Mystery of the Lizard Men
-Arctic Splashdown
-The Curse of Anubis
-Pursuit of the Po-Ho
-Riddle of the Gold
