Product ReviewsHanna-Barbera Classic Collection: Thundarr the Barbarian - The Complete Series (DVD, 2010, 4-Disc Set)

Maybe the best Saturday morning cartoon ever!

This series about a clean-shaven barbarian, a sexy sorceress and a creature that is an obvious take-off on a wookie from Star Wars is set in an post-apocalyptic word of the future. The series debuted in 1981 and even set in the future, you see references to the early 1980s such as the rusted remains of original Volkswagen Beetles and pressed metal garbage cans. I had tried to get this before but got a bootleg that had been recorded from Cartoon Network. The main complaint I have of this is that it did not have the before-episode promos that had appeared when the series first ran on ABC. It is also amusing that the Ruby-Spears logo had been replaced by that of Hanna-Barbera, who did not actually make the series. I still think this could be adapted into a live-action movie if done right.Read full review...

A cartoon that should be revisted give it a low A

Hanna-Barbera Thundar the Barbarian, cartoon is very cool for early 80's as animation for the time was starting to get in the realm of Sunbow for both GI joe, and Transformers the premise and stories are interesting as one could only imagine what earth would be like with life and Geo political struggle for dominance and power and food etc say in the year 4024 -4025. The quality is crisp and voice overs are not choppy or tongue and cheek . I give the series a 93 stories 88 and overall premise and quality a 90.Read full review...

Childhood memories happily revisited

I was 11yrs old when Thundarr came to television & this remake of that series opened a floodgate of memories from that wondrous time in my life! (The package is kinda cheesey, but the DVD picture quality & original stories are just as I remember them in complete detail)
I'd love to see some other animation from my timeline.....("Tarzan Lord of the Jungle" anyone? LOL) "For me" , this was a fun buy & I would recommend it .Read full review...

Great 80s animated series

I was 9 years old when this came out and was quite excited to watch on Saturday morning.
I was doing a search for another animated series and this one just came up. I had totally forgot till it landed in my search-box. Glad to purchase it, dvd looks good and the sound is also pretty good as well. Most of the animated shows need to be on Blu-Ray for better image quality. Regardless, this one is a winner and must have for those 80s cartoon fans.Read full review...

Fabulous SUN SWORD!!! No need to explain.

Awesome Series!! This was a staple for us growing up, used to catch it on the USA Cartoon Express on Sundays; those were the days!! It's like Thundarr and his companions were a troop of Barbarian-esque Wizard detectives, always asking wayward Wizards questions before pummeling them into oblivion. One of my favorite cartoon series ever!! I was also a Masters of the Universe and Thundercats type of kid too, so if you liked those series and have never seen Thundarr; you owe it to yourself to check it out!! Read full review...

"Ookla, Ariel ride"

This was a great show when it 1st aired I would look forward to every Saturday morning with my bowl of cereal n what new adventure await Thundarr n company. The idea behind the show was great and I would love to see a rebbot done right not just throw in anything n say here is a reboot. Loved the background art work showing how the world looks n the ideas of magic and science work together or against each other. The show was great but I fear that if they reboot it like they did with Thunder Cats which was beautifully done it will get cancel for no reason except the lack of toy sells. So on that note I'm glad to have it on dvd will enjoy it n share it with my daughter n someday with my grand kids thank you for a great showRead full review...

Thundarr the Barbarian: Stepping Forward from the Past

Thundarr the Barbarian will always be the one of the best end of days cartoon shows ever produced. I am surprised that it was not picked up along with a handful of other stories to be made in this new era. The writing, location and characters have inspired many writers, yet so little of this show was produced.

This show was certainly an interesting field for Hanna Barbera besides Scooby Doo. My only complaint will be that I wish these shows were placed on Blu-ray.Read full review...
