• 5.0 out of 5 stars Still collecting my 80's childhood. WB Archive, keep them coming!!!!!

  Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2015

  This is a Hanna-Barbera classic that many might not know of. On the East coast this show played on Sundays. It was on The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. I still remember the theme song of “It's Fun! Fun! Fun! Funtastic!" It played with other cartoons as well. One that stuck out was Fantastic Max. Galtar was more of a Thundarr the Barbarian mixed in with Dungeons & Dragons and Sci Fi. This was one of my favorite Sunday morning cartoons. There are 21 episodes so I don’t know why they put it on three discs. 7 episodes a disc. The usual Archive MOD offering has ten episodes a disc. They couldn’t just add one more episode on one of the discs? I already have this series on DVD. They are burned from the Boomerang channel. I found them on the net years ago. It is excellent 480 quality. I burned them on two Discs. This set seems to be remastered (I’m not sure) but they did NOT do the digital makeover. Some scenes are blurry for a few seconds and other scenes are dark. Be prepared for shaky camera scenes. It’s still better than my burned copy but I thought others should know what they are getting. I’m just happy it was released. My favorite episodes are: Shadowhaunt, The Master Fighters and the Silver Sword.

• 4.0 out of 5 stars Very cool show

  Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2022

  Some how I missed this little gem which aired in 1985–86 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. I like that it has a storyline that's followed from episode to episode. It's an easy fun watch.

  As for the pic & sound, meh. The sound is ok. Typical of the era, mono. Nothing's been done to clean it up but it's adequate. The pic however leaves a bit to be desired. I'm sure back in 85 it wasn't top of the line & as the years went by there was no place to go but down. Don't get me wrong, it's by all means watchable & enjoyable. It could certainly use a little bit of TLC though. While a full on resto would be great, some cleaning up would do wonders I'm sure. I have very good software & hardware & it did helped a little. I can't stand the interlacing.

  One problem that could have been avoided is the order in which the episodes were arranged. It's not even close to being the correct airing order. There's really no good excuse for that laziness imo.

  Still all & all a fun show to watch over & over. Definitely a worth while but.

  Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018

  Great 80s cartoon show. Bought a copy for my DVD collection, but mostly to catch up no those missed Saturdays morning cartoon shows. Whether you missed your Sunday, weekdays or whatever days morning/afternoon cartoon show, this is a good get your Galtar dvd before its gone. Packaging was good, mine arrived on time via Prime, no missing or damaged/scratched DVDs. Played well, no missing episodes or skipped parts (that I know of). If you like the 80s style cartoons and or collecting 80s cartoon shows, this is a great addition to your collection. Had to wait few months for price to go down before buying it. Comes with 3 discs.

  Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2019

  I may be a little waxing nostalgic but I love the quality of the characters, storyline, and animation of the 80's cartoons of yesteryear. If you like Thundar and Johnny Quest you will love this!
  

• 4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying for 80's toon afficianadoes

  Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016

  This is an enjoyable watch, and probably one of the best action toons that Hanna Barbara put out - I don't really include Thundarr since that was Ruby-Spears. The voice actress for Goletta I believe to be the same voice actress who was Lady Jay in the G.I. Joe cartoon. The voice actor of Tormack (the villain ) is the same voice actor who was the villain Bloth in the Pirates of Dark Water cartoon (he has an excellent villain voice). The main drawback with these Hanna Barbara cartoon collections is that they are sold on DVD +R format - the only exceptions being the Space Ghost and Birdman series. That kind of irritates me, but I wont complain too loudly. This seems to have been Hanna Barbara's way of competing with He-Man. In some ways it is not as goofy as He-Man , no morals, no stupid Cringer or Orko, on the other hand He-Man had some better developed characters, including the villains. I have a few more Hanna action collections to get - Shazzan, Centurians, perhaps Gobots (maybe not). What we really need is a release of the original Fantastic Four cartoon (the one with the Human Torch and not the Robot that replaced him in the second series). I am almost certain that that was a Hanna Barbara creation, with the sanction of Marvel, but the odds of that seem slim now that Disney has Marvel rights - they haven't even managed to release the final season of their own cartoon Gargoyles yet (which in my opinion is the best thing that Disney ever produced. Anyway buy Galtar if you are an 80's action cartoon buff.
