Movie Reviews of The Milton The Monster Show - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Ahhhh memories...
Summary: 4 Stars
Great walk down memory lane! Sat down with a bowl of Count Chocula and indulged in Milton and the gang. My favorite was and always will be the Fearless Fly toons.I recomend this to anyone that doesn't mind the low bugdet animation. The stories and the characters make up for it by far.
Summary of The Milton The Monster Show - The Complete Series
Eccentric comedian Zach Galifianakis has earned an underground cult following for his idiosyncratic standup routines that recall the wry musings of David Cross mixed with the droll non sequitors of Mitch Hedberg--and often feature Galifianakis softly accompanying himself on piano. This program captures the offbeat comedian in a 2005 live performance filmed in front of an appreciative audience at San Francisco's famed Purple Onion comedy club.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:?826663103670 Manufacturer No:?D4D10367One of the least heralded but most enjoyable series that arose during the TV monster boom of the mid-'60s (which included The Addams Family and The Munsters), The Milton the Monster Show was the brainchild of Hal Seeger, a former Fleischer Studios animator and comic book illustrator who also created the Batfink cartoon. The program, which ran on Saturday mornings from 1965-66, offered a rotating series of short cartoons, with the adventures of mild-mannered, Frankenstein-like creature Milton and his friends serving as the hub of the show. The other segments concerned "Fearless Fly," a costumed superhero adventure about a mild-mannered pest and his mighty alter-ego; "Flukey Luke," a timid cowpoke who ran a detective agency; "Stuffy Durma," a hobo who refuses to give up his wandering ways, despite having inherited a fortune; "Muggy Doo," a fast-talking fox (who, like Stuffy, first saw life in Seeger's comics); and "Penny Penguin," a cute girl penguin with abominable manners. What set Milton apart from most of the kid-TV fare of the period was the quality of the production; scripts were clever, the animation bright and expressive, and the voice talent (which included veterans Bob McFadden, Dayton Allen, and Seeger's own spouse, Beverly Arnold) top-notch. And if some of the premises seem dated by today's standards ("Muggy Doo" and "Penny Penguin," in particular, have not aged well), new viewers should still be able to appreciate the gusto with which the stories are delivered. Shout! Factory's four-disc set includes Milton's entire network run, as well as some terrific archival supplements that should delight longtime fans. The never-aired segment "Wilbur the Wanted" (a sort of Fugitive for kids, with a falsely accused dog in pursuit of a scurrilous rabbit) is chief among the extras, as is an unusual live-action version of "Flukey Luke" shot by Seeger that utilized actors in oversized costumes a la Sid and Marty Krofft. Test footage for the live-action "Luke" is also included, as is a short, silent bit of footage featuring actors in Milton and Fearless Fly costume accompanying Seeger himself to the 1965 Toy Fair in New York. The sight of the life-size Milton waving to downtown crowds from the wagon of a horse-drawn hearse as it makes its way through the Big Apple streets should be, for many, worth the price of the set alone. -- Paul Gaita
