![Thundarr the Barbarian: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]](https://images.bolo.ae/I/51hLs1hETIL.jpg)
Description:
Civilization is cast into ruin when a runaway planet speeds between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn from the ashes with a savage landscape, strange creatures and a primitive sense of justice. But, one man fights to spread peace throughout the land: He is Thundarr the Barbarian, and you can own all 21 exciting adventures starring Thundarr and his companions Ookla the Mok and sorceress Princess Ariel. Using their strength, courage and wits, plus Thundarr's magical Sunsword, they journey from village to village, liberating slaves and battling all kinds of beasts, mutants, wizards, thieves and robots. The future of Earth may be shrouded in darkness, but Thundarr the Barbarian bursts into action as a shining symbol of hope for humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different take on the end of the world as we know it!!!
Continues to thrill even 40 years later. Great ideas and even great at predicting things that could now be plausible in real life like Rogue planets and things such as this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Smurfs? Care Bears? Screw that. This is the BEST Saturday morning cartoon ever made!
So, there are only two reasons for you to be reading this review. Either (A) you are a big fan of the classic Thundarr cartoon and you want to know if this DVD release will live up to your expectations, or (B) you just stumbled across this item and you have no idea why there are so many 5 star reviews for a cartoon that you've never heard of. So, I'm going to break this up into two sections. Feel free to just read the review that you can relate to... Cuz who has time to read a review that talks about stuff that you already know?Never heard of Thundarr? Okay, picture this: You're 8 years old, it's Saturday morning and you're sitting in front of your TV eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes. After a few hours of Casper, Scrappy Doo and something called "Fred & Barney Meet the Schmoo" (not kidding), suddenly you're bombarded with images of the Earth being torn apart by earthquakes, tidal waves and general destruction. Then a voice basically tells you that 14 years from now, you, your friends and everyone and everything that you know will be dead.How's THAT for a cure for attention deficit disorder??That was basically the premise of Thundarr. The world has been destroyed and thousands of years later, life evolves, only now the world is some bizarre mix of dragons, mutants, wizards, robots, aliens, werewolves and descendants of the human race. I won't get into the specifics (there's alot of cool info on wikipedia and other sites) but lets just say that this cartoon was DECADES ahead of it's time. Just about everything that you can compare it to actually came AFTER Thundarr. Not only was this show original (forgiving the few things they borrowed from Star Wars), but as a Saturday morning cartoon? A cartoon with no talking dog or grinning monkey or wacky sidekick? This was a show where characters were actually threatened with death-- most of the time the word "doom" was used instead, but the intent was still there. This was a show were every episode featured recognizable landmarks that were now in burnt out, rusted, bent up, post apocalyptic ruins. In between all the other sugar coated, generic crap of the early eighties, how the heck did this show get on the air?? Well, somebody correctly assumed that kids (and teenagers) were smart enough to understand these stories... solid well written stories full of action, cool villains, excellent voice work and AMAZING cinematic music. No need for goofball characters or a half hour "lesson" to be learned. And no last shot of all the characters all standing around laughing like idiots. Okay, I think that happened on ONE episode of Thundarr... but hey, you gotta lighten the mood some time.This was a very different type of Saturday morning cartoon. And for the most part it still holds up. Character designs still look good, the animation doesn't make you cringe, and the stories are still interesting. In comparison, another early 80s cartoon, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends (which I used to love back in the day) is pretty much crap now. Old episodes of that show still air a few nights a week and they're just goofy now ("Video-man??? WTF?) But Thundarr is still, to this day, one of the boldest, most mature shows to ever hit Saturday morning. And yes, if you love animation, you need to get this DVD.As for you Thundarr fans, you're probably wondering the same thing that I did when I heard that this kick @$$ show had finally been released on DVD. I was thinking "what's this recordable DVD crap? Where's the REAL official release?" Well, rest assured, this is actually really well done, and if I didn't know any better, I would think this was any other professionally made DVD. I'm not a big fan of the cover art, but otherwise, it looks pretty good. The first menu you see is really generic but when you get to the episode list, you see the original title screen from each episode. That's pretty cool. So far, these appear to be the complete episodes-- no missing scenes or new replacement music. As someone else said, this is as good as it gets until Hanna Barbera figures out that we really need a remastered deluxe version of this series. There are some specks and dust that show up on several frames here and there (especially noticeable when I'm watching this on my PS3) but it's not enough to ruin the experience. This show will always be one of my favorite old school animated cartoons. Thundarr and Dungeons & Dragons were two of the few cartoons that were consistently well done, from one episode to the next. Several guys from Marvel Comics (including the King of comic illustration, Jack Kirby) originally worked on this show behind the scenes and you can see their dedication in every episode. Well, besides "Trial by Terror"-- I don't know if everybody was smoking weed or what, but that one episode looks goofy and cheap. And the evil wizard looks like a tool. But every other episode is 4 or 5 star.A friend once told me that any rich jerk can drive a BMW, but it takes someone who loves cars to drive a fully restored 67 mustang. I'll add to that, anyone can say that they love Transformers and GI Joe, but someone that REALLY has an appreciation for old school 80s animation knows, appreciates, and owns the complete series of Thundarr.So don't be a jerk. Get some Thundarr!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show must see for any body who loves 80s animation or just want to relive
Well just a great show from many 80s kids. This show brought in the 80s greats, released to the airwaves 1980.. one of many great cartoons through the decadeThe product arrived as advertised and met all my expectations in terms of quality. It performed just as described, and I had no issues using it. I would definitely purchase it again if I found myself in the same situation.
5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia.
Yes, you see it. Five stars. Why five stars? Is this perfect? Was Thundarr the best animated series ever? Well the answers are no, it's not absolutely perfect and no, while it is among my favorite animated shows ever there are a couple that I'd be able to name off the top of my head that I do love a bit more dearly - but when you hover over rating four stars it says "I like it." Hover over five and it says "I love it." I cannot tell a lie in a review, thus I must click five stars. I. Love. This. Show.I watched the hell out of Thundarr The Barbarian when I was a kid. This was one of my Saturday Morning favorites. I don't think the image of the cruise ship sticking up out of the ground ever left my addled mind. Sorcery and super-science found their way into my imagination, and as I got older I discovered games like Dungeons and Dragons (another favorite cartoon, incidentally) and Gamma World and used a lot of what I recalled from Thundarr in those games.The animation is typical of the Hannah Barbera fare from this time period, but it has the same eerie beauty - especially in the background paintings - as some of the classic art from the old Scooby-Doo and Herculoids shows where the character designs were simple, but their world had amazing detail. The voice work in this show is quite memorable, with the late Bob Ridgely as Thundarr tossing out lines I still use in conversation to this day, like "Demon Dogs!" and "Ariel! Ookla! RIDE!"I have watched the entire series twice over now with my son, who will be four in June. He's probably the only kid in his preschool who knows who Thundarr, Ariel and Ookla are. He's also a big fan of He-Man and She-Ra, and watches the D&D cartoon with Daddy. I really appreciate the fact that this DVD boxed set allows me to spend part of my Saturday Mornings reliving my own childhood Saturdays with my son. The show holds up for me where some others don't - I can still watch it and enjoy it just as I did when I was in the single-digits of age.My only complaint is that there was a "Making of Thundarr" feature contained on a cartoon compilation disc that had only one episode of Thudarr on it, along with Mr. T. and several other cartoons. Why wasn't it included here?
5.0 out of 5 stars Ookla aerial let’s ride into this series filled with demon, dogs and adventure
I loved Hannah Barbera cartoons growing up. This is one of my favorite series the company. Was at its prime with a whole string of wonderful cartoons. From the Flintstones to Johnny quest, my life was filled with wholehearted fantasy adventures that had good character.
Excellent!
One of the few shows I liked as a kid that are still enjoyable. The writing is great, the plots are inventive, and the backgrounds especially are great.It looks amazing on Blu-Ray, and THERE IS NO REGION CODING, by which I mean I am able to play it on a Region B device.
Les Maîtres de l'univers ont été inspirés par Arok le barbare (Thundaar The Barbarian) !
Comme aucun éditeur français ne s'intéresse à Arok le barbare (Thundaar The Barbarian), j'ai dû me procurer ce DVD en anglais. Surtout quand on sait que les dessinateurs Alex Toth (Creepy, Eery) et Jack Kirby (X-Men) étaient de la partie sur ce dessin animé (source livre Genius, Animated: The Cartoon Art of Alex Toth).D'ailleurs, Arok le barbare, Ookla l'humok (Chewbacca ?) et la princesse Séléna ont bien inspiré Les Maîtres de l'univers.Merci pour cette édition DVD !
Great Childhood Memories.
The DVD set is perfect. I loved Thundarr when I was a kid. I am happy that I can share this series with my little daughter.
