Customer Reviews

Disappointing
I bought this to relive childhood memories. Its fine except that two of the episodes are part one of a two part story. That was frustrating. The people who put these together should have thought that through.

Alterations included
While the visual aspects of these episodes appear true to the original series, the audio tracks appear to have been redone, updated. If, like me, you were looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the original unadulterated versions you saw as a kid, then I think you would find this a disappointment.

Astro Boy the best!!!
I grew up my astro boy and 20 years later my kids really enjoy astro boy is less aggressive than today cartoons such as Ben 10, power rangers, etc... highly recommended!!!
