Direct from his Peebles Pet Shop habitat, Magilla Gorilla swings into the Blu-ray™ jungle, his inimitable goofiness and penchant for stumbling into trouble still intact to delight new generations of cartoon fans. As the naïve ape demonstrates, primates and humans share similar situations. Magilla gets to be an Army draftee (Private Magilla, featuring famous news anchor Walter Crancake), a football player (Gridiron Gorilla), an astronaut (Planet Zero) and more, ever silly situation an occasion for laughs. You can also relish the frisky feuding of Punkin’ Puss and Mushmouse in a rootin’-tootin’ shooting gallery of hillbilly hilarity. Lightning-fast sheriff Ricochet Rabbit and his coyote deputy Droop-a-long round out the animated animal antics. All 23 original, uncut episodes of this Hanna-Barbera classic series have been newly remastered from 4K scans of the original negatives (including the original Ideal Toys opening theme song, long-unseen bridges, the ‘curtain call’ and end credits) for pristine quality, along with eight bonus Magilla cartoons that are sure to please!

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

FRANKENSTEIN JR. and THE IMPOSSIBLES is one half-hour packed with the kind of adventures of two of the most unusual, animated creations of the legendary Hanna-Barbera studio. Buzz Conroy is a heroic boy genius who builds the powerful robot Frankenstein Jr. When the Ghastly Genie, the Junk Man and other evildoers get up to their old tricks, “Frankie” and his young creator crank into action! The crimefighting coalition continues with THE IMPOSSIBLES, a group of superheroes disguised as a beatnik rock group. At the direction of “Big D”, Multi Man, Coil Man and Fluid Man make hot rockin’ musical justice thwarting thieves and corralling crooks with their transformative powers. All-family classic cartoon fun isn’t just possible – it’s guaranteed with this 2-disc, 18 Episode Collection, now newly remastered in High Definition from 4K scans of the original camera negatives of the series.

Synopsis:

The Age of Aquarius dawned. Harry Boyle forgot to set his alarm. Inspired by the era of live-action TV series such as All in The Family comes the Hanna-Barbera generation-gap animated comedy Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. Tom Bosley provides the voice of Harry, an affable 40-something Everyman and suburban father of three whose daily routine is anything but when he faces the provocative questions of the make-love-not-war era. Women’s Lib, civil rights, hippies, sexuality, communes and the Cold War are some of the hot button petals in this series’ flower-powered laugh-fest. They’re all part of Harry’s world, where a man’s home is his hassle. This complete series set of two seasons and 48 episodes, is highlighted by guest voice appearances from Monty Hall, Don Knotts, Phyllis Diller and Rich Little.

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7.5/10

Synopsis:

With the rise of TV threatening moviegoing, wider screens became Hollywood’s way to combat that competition. M-G-M went all in and placed their bets on the new CinemaScope process. In addition to their feature films, the studio emboldened their cartoon unit run by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera – and their Oscar® winning series of Tom and Jerry™ shorts. The new visual approach to the famous team’s animated adventures was artistically refreshing – and won sweeping popular success with audiences. This set includes all 23 of these wide-screen wonders – collected together for the first time on Blu-ray™ as originally seen in theatres. Also included are Hanna & Barbera’s two stand-alone Spike & Tyke cartoons – and their Oscar®-nominated Good Will To Men. Animated, Anamorphic, and Amazing! The ultimate chase – continues!

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 6.5/10

Synopsis:

Nearly 30 years after the landmark animated series was brought to prime-time television by Hanna-Barbera, the continued popularity of Jonny Quest led the studio to create two new feature-length adventures built around Quest presented together on this one Blu-ray™ disc. In Jonny’s Golden Quest, long-time Quest fans get to meet the women behind the adventurous men. Joining scientist Benton Quest, his plucky son Jonny, bodyguard Race Bannon and Jonny’s young friend Hadji are Benton’s biologist wife Rachel, Race’s ex-wife Jade and young 12-year-old Jessie. In Jonny Quest vs.The Cyber Insects, the evil Dr. Zin has genetically modified household pests into disturbingly large insects that he calls assassinoids, fearless and devoted warriors that will conduct his plan for world domination. Team Quest, headed by internationally respected scientist Benton Quest, is Earth’s only hope. When the good doctor becomes Zin’s captive, the stakes – and the action quotient – grow higher. Enter Jonny Quest, Dr. Quest’s bright, excitable, imaginative and heroic young son, ex-special agent Race Bannon, Jonny’s child genius friends Hadji and Jessie (Race’s daughter), their robotic pal 4-DAC and bulldog Bandit to complete the job of vermin extermination before it’s too late.

Cast: Arnold Stang, Allen Jenkins, Maurice Gosfield (VOICES)

Release Date: September 17, 2024

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Disc Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

In the tradition of great screen con men – one of the few with a visible tail – Top Cat holds a top spot in the hearts of classic animation fans. The second of Hanna-Barbera’s prime-time network animated sitcoms, TOP CAT debuted on ABC television on Wednesday, September 27, 1961. The series only ran for one season at night, but continued to be popular through a mix of continued Saturday morning network reruns and syndication for more than two decades thereafter. Arnold Stang provided the voice of the smooth-talking New York City cat, known as T.C. to his gang of cohorts Benny the Ball, Choo-Choo, Spook, The Brain and Fancy Fancy. These cats were always on the make toward a big score or swindle. And the bothersome – and ever exasperated – Officer Dibble, (voiced by legendary character actor Allen Jenkins) is relentlessly on Top Cat’s case (although always one step behind). This 4-disc Blu-ray set contains all 30 original episodes, newly remastered in 1080p HD from 4K scans off the original camera negatives, with the series offering top-shelf entertainment for fans. More than 60 years after it debuted, Top Cat continues to be a comic delight of animated fun for audiences of all ages.
