Studio first gave birth to the legend of Superman in 1941 by bringing the Man of Steel out of the comic book and onto the silver screen. Although very expensive and time-consuming for animators who had never extensively dealt with realistic human figures before, The Superman series not only achieved critical acclaim, but was also very successful. For two and a half years, the Fleischer studio created some of the most cinematic and visually stunning cartoons ever seen and in the process, set the bar very high for future animators to follow. Now you can enjoy the series that set millions of hearts racing for adventure and made many believe in Truth, Justice and the American Way. Episodes include:EPISODE 1: JAPOTEURSJapanese spies hijack the largest bomber plane ever made with Lois onboard.

Advantages: Hilarious comedy, good viewing Disadvantages: only 3 episodes, expensive to buy whole set individually
Another installement to my DVD collection - the epic and classic comedy hero - Mr Bean. I love Rowan Atkinson, especially in Black Adder and also in the classic Mr Bean episodes. Despite my mood before hand, after watching Mr Bean I always feel much better, he always manages to intrigue my imagination with his biazarre mannerisms and abilty to turn the most straight forward of tasks into complete disaters!
Having not being able to buy the whollebox set I have had to purchase and review each DVD volume one by one.
This DVD contains 3 episodes, each with 3 or 4 sketches in them. All of whihc are brilliant and this DVD includes one of my favourites - the one where he goes to the swimming pool and clings to the diving board. The three episodes are entitled: Episode 1. 'The Curse Of Mr Bean', Episode 2. 'Mr Bean Goes To Town ...
Advantages: entertains the kids Disadvantages: not brilliant, not that funny, more cute than funny
I'm sure everyone will remember the hilarious sketch series done by Rown Atkinson as Mr Bean that took the nation by storm in the 80's and early 90's. However he must feel that his looks have faded and has decided to hide behind the newest comedy snippet programme for kids ' animated Mr Bean'. Really I don't mind, and i'm sure that other won't either how ugly Rowan has got, he is and always wil be, a comedy genius.
The introduction of a cartoon Mr Bean intrigued me and so bought the series on DVD. I wondered whether it really was rowan attikinson doing the voice of Mr Bean, and of course 'teddy', as it really doesn't sound like him at all and it wouldnt be surprising as the odd grunt and whimper can be done by anyone.
The basic and gody colours are also a let down. They make Mr Bean look tacky and very childish despite being modern ...
