Dastardly & Muttley in their Flying Machines: The Complete Series (Repackaged/DVD)

Fresh from Wacky Races, Dick Dastardly and his dog, Muttley are now taking to the skies. Their mission, to stop Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering his messages. With cowardly Zilly and incomprehensible-but-inventive Klunk in tow, one would think this mission's in the bag, right? Wrong. Watch as Dastardly and his Vulture Squadron concoct elaborate planes and plans to 'Stop that pigeon' and fail with disastrous, yet hilarious results. With this as the premise of 'Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines,' Hanna-Barbara continues the simple formula of basic plot (the Vulture Squadron's attempts to stop the pigeon and failing), slapstick gags in self-contained episodes. Added to the mix are side stories and gags in the form of "Wing-dings," self-contained shorts of gags and jokes, and "Magnificent Muttley," a series of companion shorts that focuses on Muttley daydreaming he's a hero, getting the better of Dastardly. The quality of the episodes are clean and crisp. The dvd menu has a funny little sideshow of the Vulture Squadron chasing the pigeon back and forth. There are are number of bonus features including: The Vulture Squadron's Greatest Misses: A series of highlight reels of the squadron members in their more hilarious blunders, quips and epic fails to catch Yankee Doodle Pigeon. Dastardly & Muttley Spinoffs: What Wacky Races Wrought: A retrospective with animation veterans Iwa Takamoto and Jerry Eisenberg(designers for this series) and Scott Jeralds (of Warner Bros. Animation) concerning how the success of Wacky Races soon landed Dastardly and Muttley in their own spin-off series. Commentaries on 2 episodes: Episodes 11 and 15 Whether you grew up watching this or many of the other Hanna-Barbara cartoons, or are looking for countless laughs, you can't go wrong with Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines. Whoever thought to bring this series to dvd deserves a medal!

Great series a lot of laughs, something to keep in mind that the discs are stacked on top of each other (something I’m not a fan of myself)

Wow the childhood memories this dvd set brought back from my Saturday morning cartoons AWSOME. Each disc played beautifully

Great

I absolutely loved this cartoon when I was younger..I would look forward to coming home from school to watch it when it was aired in the 90s along with Wacky Races. It's just as funny now as it was back then.

Very good tv show

These are the types of shows my autistic grandson prefers. So while he's getting to see them for the first time , it'll be fun revisiting my childhood favorites.

Recommend this product. Original and works.

Ya tengo conmigo el dvd, el dvd es de zona 1, o sea que quien le interese que tenga en cuenta que únicamente lo podra ver en un reproductor que sea multisistema o que acepte dvds de región 1, de todos modos excelente compra.

Good fun for people like me who watched these cartoons when they were originally on TV and if not, good fun anway.

Esta caricatura nunca la vi, la conocí por mi mamá, fue su regalo de 10 de mayo; a ella le encantó. Le pongo cuatro estrellas porque los discos vienen encimados en una sola caja, esto puede provocar que se rayen o se maltraten con facilidad, ya que ni siquiera vienen rotulados. Audios y subtítulos: inglés, francés y español. El audio en español es el original latino de los años setenta. Esta caricatura se llama en español «Pier-No-Doy-Una y Patán en sus Máquinas Voladoras». Revisen ese detalle, Amazon México, de los discos encimados.

Je suis tres content de revoir ce dessin animé et les voix françaises !! J aî reçu le coffret rapidement et en excellent état !! Merci

A classic cartoon that is still good to watch today.
