Movie Reviews of SilverHawks, Vol. 1
Movie Review: Mon*Star is going to eat 5 Stars
I can't tell you how excited I was a year ago when www.tvshowsondvd.com broke the news that WB was considering a Silverhawks release. Now, a year later, it's in my hands. And it is beautiful! I was literally blown away by the packaging on this Silverhawks Volume One release! Blown away! The dvd case comes with a slip-cover...and it's the most spectacular slip-cover EVER....I think! Completely unexpected to see a slip cover, let alone, one like this. The whole thing is embossed and raised on the front, sides AND back! The coloring is awesome! It is hands-down the best slip-cover that I have ever laid eyes on.The case is a normal size dvd case and it's white/clear. Inside is a dual "flipper" holding the 4 dvds. If you're familiar with the Red Dwarf style dvd cases then this is very similar, expect that it holds 4 instead of 3 dvds. Since the dvd case is clear-ish they put an episode listing on the back of the insert, which is nice cause they list all 32 episodes and which ones are on which disc. The 4th disc is a dual sided one with 8 episodes on one side and the special features on the other.
How do the episodes look? I play my cartoons through an XBOX 360 using an HDMI cable and a Samsung 1080p LCD 46" tv. Why do I say that? Cause it "could" mean trouble. With a set-up like that you see a lot of crackle and pop that you normally wouldn't see on an SD TV. I can happily say that WB actually cleaned up the episodes! In my opinion they look better than the WB Thundercats release. The restoration process is on par with the BCI Bravestarr or classic He-Man/She-Ra releases....it's nice.
The menu screens are also in widescreen!!!!
Overall, I'm shocked WB put such an effort into Silverhawks. From experience, I figured it would be similar to a Thundercats release but WB has surprised me.
This thing is freaking nicer than Fox's latest Simpsons release and that's just crazy. This Silverhawks set won't even sell a fraction of what that Simpsons season 11 will sell and it's 50x better. The only thing that could have sweetened the deal more would have been a booklet detailing each episode...but WB isn't BCI.
My last comment: If you are an 80's cartoon fan or even a mild one, don't pass this one up! If this volume one has poor sales there is a good chance that we will never see volume 2 and that would be a shame. Please, get off the fence and buy! You will not regret it!
