Summary: Great DVD. Entertaining
Comment: This DVD is exactly what I wanted. I was very hesitant to buy it because of previous reviews regarding the annoying previews. All you have to do is hit the skip but a couple times to get to the main menu. I am so glad I bought it and my 8 yr old son likes these wonderful cartoons too. A great flash back to the early 70's for me! Take my advice buy it it's well worth the money.

Summary: Inspired Silliness
Comment: When I was a boy, many long years ago, I used to get home from school in time to watch the original broadcasts of Rocky and Bullwinkle. If memory serves me, it was composed of an episode of a serial featuring the titular heros, an episode of Mr. Peabody or an episode of Fractured Fairy Tales, then another episode of the serial. (For those who discovered R & B in it's incarnation as "The Bullwinkle Show" this was, I believe, before the advent of "Aesop and Son" or "Dudley Do-right"The Best of Dudley Do-Right, Vol. 1.)
Although over 40 years old, this collection of 15 cartoons from the original "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends - The Complete First SeasonRocky & Bullwinkle & Friends - The Complete Third SeasonRocky & Bullwinkle & Friends - The Complete Second Seasonshow are still a treat. They possess that delicate balance of wit and silliness that the Jay Ward cartoons were noted for, and along with "Mr. Peabody's Improbable History"The Best of Mr. Peabody & Sherman, Vol. 1, were always one of the spots in the show that I eagerly awaited.
This collection is copyrighted 2005 therefore it is possible given the vagaries of the DVD industry that it will not be available much longer. Also while it is labeled Volume 1, I strongly doubt that Volume 2 was ever issued. (It may not have been possible to issue a Volume 2 due to lack of material. However, given that this is touted as the "Best of" one can only assume that there is more in the series that could be released.)
I will end this here as "I suddenly feel an overwhelming urge for a salad made of Rampian, a variety of European bell flower. If I can't have it, I will surely die."

Summary: Fairy tales 10/10, marketing rubbish at the beginning 0/10
Comment: These fantastic tales would have been given a five star rating except that all I can say is SHAME ON the distributors who repackaged this collection. How can any marketing guru think that by continually punishing us by forcing us to endure the non related promotional tripe that they attach like a virus in the form of unrelated promos will sell more dvds? Happy? NO. Ready to lynch the people who did this? YES.
I can only assume that these people weren't even born when we first viewed these timeless masterpieces as children and somehow feel threatened by the competition.It's enough to make you hunt down a dvd pirate who could make a copy with just the fractured fairy tales only. That's the only way I can think we will be able to repeatedly watch this dvd minus the opening advertising epics that we certainly didn't pay for.

Summary: Good videos -- lousy DVD
Comment: The material is great, but I can't recommend this DVD because its programming is so irritating. The viewer is forced to sit through several tedious previews for some truly unimpressive children's videos. Attempting to fast forward or skip to the next item is produces the message "Operation Prohibited By Disc." This is unforgivable.
