AMAZING!

Anyone old enough to remember this classic cartoon has fond memories of it! Even with the static animation and multi-used action shots, it's better than any newer version of this iconic super hero. What I remembered most about it, was the hip, swinging music soundtrack and the fact that the characters look like they did in the comic book. This DVD set will let you relive those wonderful times in spades! The 6 disc collection has every episode on it and most of them have been remastered to look pretty darn good! So put on your favorite jammies, grab the Cocoa Puffs and get ready for a blast from the past!

Yes, This is the DVD Box Set we've waited for,
It immediately brought back all childhood memories of Spiderman especially the swinging, jazzin, bebopping, soundtrack. I was patting my foot throughout the entire first viewing of this set. This is the quintessential Spiderman Box Set that spawned the recent incarnation of live action movies. It's the ultimate for any Spidey lover. I absolutely LOVED discs 1-3, However after that it's a downward spiral. To me it was almost unbearable to watch the remaining DVDs after the 3rd one. This was due to an abrupt change in the production team/animators. Definately NOT for the better! I remember as a kid I watched this show (religiously) And I can recall that after a certain while I just didn't like the latter episodes for reasons that I couldn't explain. As a child I didn't quite understand what happened but I knew it wasn't anything like the earlier episodes. So I'd watch the first few minutes and if it appeared to be any of the "new" episodes (produced by the Bahshi team) I'd change the channel right away.
My only wish is that this box set had been segregated (by the early years and the later years/animation team), Into 2 volumes. I definately wouldn't have purchased the later years. That's why I can only give this a 3 star rating. Only 3 of the 6 DVD's are worthwhile. The latter 3 are a waste of time (and effort to watch) as they lack the luster and integrity of the early 3.
Let the buyer beware....

I loved these cartoons as a kid. A lot were on the Wee Willie Webber show in Philadelphia. As an adult I can see so many flaws. I'll list them for your amusement.
1) The store in the opening scenes is first seen as JEWLERY (no typo by me) store...in the next swing by it is spelled correctly as JEWELRY.
2) Unless spiderman has several suits and changed them in mid flight there were many errors in continuity. The spider on his back (looks more like a tic) sometimes had six legs, sometimes eight...in some very long shots, 4.
The spider on his chest was sometimes the same as on his back, or a more spidery-looking version.
3) In many episodes, Spiderman would see trouble at Point A, change into his suit, swing all the way through New York to arrive at Point A again???
4) Many scenes were borrowed from other episodes and thrown in making you think you saw that episode before. ex:mole people episodes.
I guess this is why cartoons were meant for kids!

I was a big fan of Spider-Man as a kid and later on as I got older I enjoyed the comic books. I was looking forward to seeing this cartoon but I was disapointed in it. I am not sure if I saw this cartoon as a kid or a different one(I was born in 71). If so it is an example of something remembered as being great as a kid turning out to be terribly bad as an adult. What makes it so bad is they totally dropped the teen angst and troubles of Peter Parker. They give Spider-Man a cheesy Superman hero type of a voice that does not match the character. Worse the animation is cheap and they use the same shots over and over and over ad nauseum until you are ready to tear your hair out. If you must rent this don't go beyond the first 3 discs. At least these have some of the classic villians like Green Goblin, Vulture, etc. There are also some funny scenes with J Jonah Jameson and Betty Brant. Discs 4-6 are awful and so bad noone should be tortured by having to watch them. The first 3 or 4 episodes of disc 4 are especially bad in that they use the same caves, castles, monsters, etc. over and over and over again. Why do they have Spider-Man fighting primitive tribal men, giant bugs, aliens, demons, etc?? It looks as though other cartoons with leftover footage were cut and pasted together with existing Sider-Man footage from earlier episodes. Worst of all is disc 6 where they actually take footage of previous Spider-Man episodes and recycle them for new episodes!! Not just background scenes but major parts of the stories!! Reminds me of Ed Wood. Just awful and embarrasing. 2 stars for discs 1-3 Negative stars for discs 4-6.
