Original Turtles Back on DVD

[Pavan]

From my toonzone.net DVD review:


Those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back on DVD with Volume 2, thanks to Lions Gate Home Entertainment. Catch 13 original episodes from the original series' second season, loaded with high flying action, and you'll be screaming "Cowabunga, Dude!" on your couch!

The set is a single case one disc set, like volume one. The cover art for some reason looks like something from the new series, but it is indeed the original Turtles. In this season we will see Shredder return in the season premiere. If we all remember, the Turtles destroyed him into Dimension X in part five from the original five episodes. We also see a four part episode where the Turtles shrink. Baxter Stockman returns, and he turns into a huge fly. Watch out for Killer Pizzas in The Case of the Killer Pizzas. And will the Turtles turn Master Splinter back to his human self? That is only some of the stories you'll see on this wonderful series. Turtle Power!

While 13 episodes are jammed in one disc, the video quality still looks decent. Expect something similar to the first volume in terms of quality. I just wonder what they'll do for volume 3? Season three had 47 episodes, so I think they'll release half of that for volume 3 and the other half for volume 4. Let's just hope Lions Gate releases the series a little faster, as a one year wait in between releases, is a little too much!

So, make sure you pick up volume two on DVD. It is on sale on April 26 and retailing at only $14.98 US.
