The sound seems a little suspect, and is fairly muted throughout. I had to turn it up passed where I regularly keep my volume to get clear and accurate dialogue, but again with something this old, you really can’t expect anything less.
In any case this is leaps and bounds away from huddling in front of a computer screen trying to watch a pixilated YouTube player.
Special Features
Besides the French and Spanish language tracks and subtitles, these two volumes come with nada in the way of special features. It’s understandable that just the releasing of these cartoons is an achievement, but to not include any special features at all, is somewhat of a travesty.
Not too long ago The Real Ghostbusters was released by Time-Life in a full series compilation, which was jam-packed with special features. You could really tell the producers of that set went all out to please long-time fans of the show. Adding no special features here is a bad sign for quite a few different reasons. It shows that Disney, while releasing the cartoons was a good move, didn’t think too much more about fans of the show. It also gives off an air of nervousness. Because Disney didn’t spend any time putting together any supplemental material, it seems that they wouldn’t think much about not releasing the rest of the seasons if sales are not where they should be with these ones.
Ending Thoughts
It’s been a long time coming! Fans of the show should be thrilled that these cartoons finally got released. No special features make these volumes seem pretty thin, but the show itself is exactly what people remember and love.
