Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Five episodes of the animated series on one DVD, The Phoenix Saga follows Jean Grey's transformation into the mysterious and powerful Phoenix. It's a tale full of internal conflict, feuding family members, and the sadness of sacrifice for the greater good. When Professor Xavier receives a psychic plea for help from an alien woman, he sends his X-Men on the next space shuttle to the Eagle One space station. They're greeted by a brute named Erik the Red, who's on a mission from Emperor D'Ken to destroy a rival's ship and take the M'Kraan crystal, which would give him unlimited power. The ship Erik the Red is supposed to destroy contains the emperor's sister, Lilandra, who is the one who established the psychic link to Professor X. Meanwhile, as Jean Grey pilots the shuttle back through the atmosphere to Earth, she is blasted by a burst of radiation that slowly changes her into Phoenix, the guardian of the M'Kraan crystal. The battle for the crystal becomes a battle for the safety of the universe. Family conflicts pop up throughout, from the sibling emperors, to Professor X fighting his half-brother Juggernaut, to Cyclops meeting the space pirate Corsair (who's actually his father). The action scenes at the end are not nearly as engaging as the story that sets them up, but stick it out because the final scene packs a wallop. --Andy Spletzer

The Phoenix Saga rocks, but... Dec 18 2003
Im glad they are starting to release DVD versions of Xmen. One problem though, why havnt they just released the seasons rather then just episodes here and there. Ive been a fan of the xmen for quite a while now.. to figure out that they should have entire seasons on dvd. Anyways if u never seen the original xmen series get this dvd. Its really cool.

Good classic cartoon May 17 2002
At least on Dvd.

This Dvd includes 5 episodes of the Phoenix Project shown in 1994.

Jean Grey converts onto Phoenix to save the galaxy from the evil emperor D'Ken who wants the M'Kraan crystal to control the galaxy and have their own world.

Lilandra the sister of D'Ken have taken the crystal with her and needs the help of the X men to defeat D'Ken evil plans.

Fun and entertaining.More episodes are on Vhs I hope they transfer soon to Dvd.

It's the freakin' "Phoenix Saga"!! Come on! ;-) April 8 2002

Every X-fan should at least have seen this at one point in their lives. LOL - It's practically the most important storyline that Marvel has ever done. This also is somewhat educative to the new comic readers as well.

I think it's really great how the original X-Men Animated Series is making its way onto DVD. This disc includes a bundle of high-quality episodes and is definitely worth the cash. If sales go well, hopefully more episodes will be released as well. :-)

What's Up Doc?
I use those words because when I SAW this for the first time, I actually taped it all, then saw that the story and animation were very cheesy and played out more like a daytime... Read more

Phoenix Rocks!
This was a great DVD. Well the DVD itself was bad because every once in a while it would get a little "fizzy". Read more

Better Formatting
I enjoyed this DVD release, but I wanted to see this saga in a movie format. The DVD is divided into episodes, which drew my attentions slightly away from the action. Read more

The quality of the disc is very disappointing.
First of all, this disk is not DTS not even dd5.1 no extra, very poor video quality, this one shouldn't have been on DVD.

Great, need more.
This was truely amazing. But there are other episodes that should get published as well. These, along with the Spider-Man series should get here as quickly as possible.
