(More customer reviews)Sony Wonder, Bullwinkle Studios and Ward Productions continue the Rocky & Bullwinkle Series with this release of the "3rd Season". Calling it "Rocky & Bullwinkle and Friends" the 4-DVD set holds a total of 726 minutes of show content and 12 minutes of "Special Features".
As before, the restoration is the best applied to these classic cartoons yet. Although, sadly, it still isn't on par with the restorations done with the Looney Tunes series currently being released. However, us die-hard fans have waited a long time for this, so I won't complain too loud.
Here's what awaits you:
26 episodes of "Missouri Mish Mash" (with Gidney & Cloyd)
18 episodes of "Lazy Jay Ranch" (with Lazy Jay, of course)
8 episodes of "The Three Moosketeers" (with King Wuncelaus, Francois Villian, Athos, and Philippe Mignon)
14 episodes of "Topsy Turvy World" (with Captain Peachfuzz)
Those no-goodnicks, Boris and Natasha, appear in all but "The Three Moosketeers".
Also, spaced out between the episodes are Aesop and Son (11); Bullwinkle's Corner (20); Peabody (22); Fractured Fairy Tales (22); Mr. Know-It-All (13); and Dudley Do-Right (11).
The "Special Features" are less than exciting. The best of them is the "Live Bullwinkle Puppet Clips". This is a collection from the 1961 Bullwinkle Show in where Bill Scott voices a puppet that intros the cartoons. It includes the one occasion where Bullwinkle instructs the kids to "...pull the knobs off your TV sets. That way, we'll be sure to be with you next week." The remaining two "Special Features" include a "Sneak Peek at Season 4" (good news....more are coming!) that is an episode from "Painting Theft", which will appear on the next set. Lastly, the "Best of Bullwinkle Follies" is nothing more than a quick edit of a bunch of scenes from Season 3 (can you say "filler"?). It would appear they are running out of material for the "Special Features". If Sony wants an idea for the next release, how about the opening and closing of the "Bullwinkle Show"? Long live "Ponsoby Britt" !
Sony got the message about the cheap packaging on the last set and this set is back to a "fold-open" slipcase design that holds the single-sided DVD's better.
These are classics and belong in your collection.
