Great memories, good presentation
As a child of the seventies, I have great memories of this and many other Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoons. Viewing them now at age 43, I still enjoy them, although many years of exposure to so much animation has perhaps made me a bit more jaded.
As you may know, HB were pioneers of the art of "limited animation," which came about in the late 50's and early 60's. A simple description of limited animation is that the characters don't move nearly as much as, say, those of the Looney Tunes of the Golden Age from the late 1930's thru the 1950's. It's a time-saving and money-saving technique that worked well for animated shows made for the demanding schedules of weekly television.
Anyway, there were still many colorful and funny cartoons made using this technique. And thankfully, Speed Buggy is one of them. Like many other HB cartoons of the seventies (Goober And The Ghost Chasers,...
Great Series!
I have always been a fan of Speed Buggy and am so happy that they finally released the series on DVD. Speed Buggy reminds me of a very hyper puppy dog. lol He even wiggles his antenna like a tail! =) Speed Buggy is about a group of teenagers who have a nutty talking car, Speed Buggy. You can't help but love that little car. Anywho, the kids are basically a team who enter Speed Buggy in races and events and they have a garage for Speed Buggy. In their adventures, they end up thwarting villians along their way. Villians range anything from cattle rustlers to take-over-the-world types. To sum up, if you enjoyed Speed Buggy on television through the years, you will more than likely still enjoy it. I know I have and still do. My little boy enjoys them as well since they have a "vroom vroom" car in the show aka Speed Buggy. lol
love the walk down memory lane
Not a bad video pack for what the cartoons were. I think the price is a little high on something so old, that has not been digitally restored, though.
