The Legend Comes to Animation with Rocket Power!
Rocket Robin Hood leads his "Merry Men", including Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, Maid Marian and other characters from the classic story of Robin Hood. They live in the year 3000 on New Sherwood Forest Asteroid, and are determined to foil the despotic plans of Prince John, the Sheriff of N.O.T.T. (National Outer-space Terrestrial Territories), and other villains such as Dr. Medulla, Manta, Nocturne, and the Warlord of Saturn. Rocket Robin Hood and his people fly in spaceships and use weapons such as "electro-quarterstaffs."
All episodes also feature short vignettes of the various characters

rocket robin hood V2,
This review is from: Rocket Robin Hood V2 (French version) (DVD)
De façon surprenante, cette version française a été achetée en Ontario et cette version ne contient pas un mot en anglais. Parfait pour les franco-québécois unilingue. En très bon état et service très rapide. Un bon achat.

A minor criticism,
By Seventies guy "Johnny" (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocket Robin Hood V2 (English version) (DVD)
Yes, this is animation at its cheesiest, but I grew up with it and its still good to see it. I have a minor criticism of this release, compared with volume I. With volume I, you could skip the "vignettes" and other filler; however, with volume II, I've noticed that you can skip the intro and the first vignette, but then if you press skip again, it skips over the second and third segment of the story, to bring you to the closing filler (or some variation on this). So it seems there are some glitches here. The only safe way to skip the filler is to do a fast-forward, but I do miss the filler-skipping functionality of the first volume. As others have commented on volume I, there was no attempt to "clean up" or remaster the source material (owing to its "fragility"?) but to be fair, at least it is no worse than it was when presented on TV. With something this old, and let's be frank - catering to a very small niche-market - you feel grateful that they bothered putting it on dvd at all. Getting back to the animation - there are more flubs in this show than you can shake a stick at e.g. a voice coming out of the wrong character's mouth, errors in proportion, background art, (just to name a mere few) - but I think that is part of the charm of the show. Old-style cel animation, flubs and all, is far preferable (to me anyway) than computer-generated dreck witn no soul or artistry.Enjoy! (Incidentally, I timed the various segments of one episode, and it turned out its about 50/50 in terms of content i.e. 15 minutes of filler, and 15 minutes of an original story - this may vary from episode to episode).

Freakier than the first Season,
By
This review is from: Rocket Robin Hood V2 (English version) (DVD)
Darker and more freaky than the first season, some Spiderman villian footage seen here in one or two episodes.Hilarious in it's stupidity in some parts, charming in it's heart and soul in others. As in the first, great art and music, but those annoying vignettes (and in this box set you can't easily skip through them), but there is such a thing as ffwding. How about those military marching songs (complete with 90% of characters in ginch)! Some really bad color coding as this was never remastered...
