Product ReviewsThe Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Volume Three 10 Disc DVD Set

For History and Adventure - Great Series

If you like history and adventure, the add-ons to this series are well documented on the disks. Excellent intro to the life of Henry "Indiana" Jones and the intertwining of history in his earlier years, thus, fiction is merged with the reality of the characters. This includes such characters as Mata Hari, Picaso, Lawrence of Arabia, Edison, Churchill, the Red Baron, Louie Armstrong, Freud, Schwitzer and others. Learned more about history as it was brought to life. Beautiful photography. Cudos to George Lucas. What makes this unique is the history lessons of the Ballet, Opera and others. Excellent. Volume III I consider hard to get. I had seen several episodes of the series on cable and decided to buy volume II (The war years). What I received was a pleasent surprise! Had to get all three volumes.Read full review...

Indiana has even more fans now...

At the time of this review, I am 44 years old. Several years ago, I got my daughter (she's 14) into the whole "Indiana Jones" trilogy of major motion pictures. When all was said and done, she hungered for more. The recent release of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" helped but it only quenched her thirst for a short time. With that we went out and purchased a couple of Indiana Jones games for our game console at home. This helped as well. However, nothing has satisfied her as much as finding out how Indy came to be the man he is today as this series. It is both educational and entertaining (and it keeps her from getting interested in boys).
Any fan of Indy will surely enjoy the full length feature films collected here.Read full review...

Adventure and Education at the same time

This series was made to be edu-tainment, and is a success in my book. The cost of each episode is reported to have been $1.5M US and it shows. Lots of beautiful footage shot on actual location.
The extras on each disc includes a bio of the famous people that Indy meets; and some historical data about the places that he visits.
I think this is an excellent way to introduce today's video generation to something beyond sit com TV. For example in one episode Indy has a few moments to discuss War with Albert Sweitzer.
I'm collecting the entire set and putting it away for my Grand children.Read full review...

A Must See and Own - set #3 ! ! !

Back in the 1990's I purchased all 12 epidodes of the "Young Indiana Jones Series that were available for sale. When I saw that the entire series (to include the never released 10 episodes) was available at a reasonable market price, I jumped at the opportunity to purchase them. With the historical vignettes of actual film footage of the periods, these sets being enjoyment and educational perspective to the viewer. Own all three today; you won't be diasppointed. If you have schoolage children the vignettes will only give then greater understanding of the various periods in American History.Read full review...

Great show!

This video series is great for the adventurer at heart. I did miss the 80 year old Dr. Jones that introduced the start of the episodes when they originally aired though. Missed the eyepatch.
