Synopsis

Includes:
  • Space Ghost and Dino Boy [Animated Series] (1966)

    Space Ghost and Dino Boy [Animated Series]
    The Hannah-Barbera series Space Ghost and Dino Boy was a series of half-hour episodes comprised of cartoon shorts, alternating between the two main characters. While Space Ghost battled intergalactic evil, Dino Boy was lost in a remote land where prehistoric creatures still walked the earth. Space Ghost would famously reappear as the host of his own talk show in the absurd Cartoon Network series Space Ghost Coast to Coast. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

    Posted by: from Texas on 09/09/2007Any kid living in the mid sixties had to know about Space Ghost during Saturday mornings on CBS. ABC and NBC had there heroes too! Space Ghost, Superman, Spider-man, Birdman, Young Samson, and Fantastic Four were just some of the cartoons that were brand new or created from comic book heroes. Remember 1966 was the year that ‘Batman’ had come to television and hero mania was in high gear. I remember liking these new shows because they looked like real people instead talking animals. Space Ghost was one of the very best. The bad guys were bad and the good guys were heroic. Space Ghost the complete series on two DVDs is a great buy. The quality is very good and for the money it was one of the better animated series of the day. Incredible power bands, 'inviso-power', and the coolest space ship since Star Wars. Re-watching these in their original format really brings back some fun memories but surprisingly they also hold up well today. NOTE: this is NOT the Space Ghost from Cartoon Network's ‘Space Ghost Coast to Coast’ show. That was made for comedy and in truth it made me really miss this original Space Ghost series. I was delighted to find this DVD set on a visit to my local Best Buy store. The episodes are in their ‘first appearance’ and original order and they include the Dino Boy adventures between every two Space Ghost episodes. Dino Boy has gotten some bad press I think. They dealt with some pretty serious stuff on those shows like cults for example (and this really came home after seeing Mel Gibson's ‘Apocalypto’). Not every body cared for Dino Boy but it really wasn’t as bad as some of the reviews I have read. All in all you buy one DVD set and you get the complete series. That's it. No more episodes to buy. One of the best features is the final six part "Council of Doom' episodes. Space Ghost has to fight six of his greatest enemies who have banded together. It is all very serious and on a par with the sci-fi action of Star Wars or Transformers. Not only that but he also meets other Hanna Barbera heroes of the day. You get the original Space Ghost and the price is great too (about the cost of one movie today). This set should be suitable for adults and children alike. OH! By the way there is a great feature about the artist who designed Space Ghost Alex Toth. If you are into cartoons or comic books it is worth the price of the DVD alone. A first rate production. Hit the 'inviso-power' I'm done.
