Who Doesn’t Love the Super Friends?
New on DVD this week is the Super Friends: Legendary Super Powers Show from the mid-80’s. I must admit I am a total Superman freak and the Superfriends and Justice League were some of my favorite cartoons growing up.
Joining Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and your usual Justice League friends in this incarnation of the show is Firestorm the Nuclear Man. The major villain in this series is Darkseid.
The DVD includes all 16 episodes, each about 10 minutes long. Special features include ”Evolution: New Heroes, Viler Villains, and Ethnic Additions”, a featurette about the impact of the Super Friends on cultural diversity in animation; “The Super Powers Collection”, a featurette about the Super Friends and the toy industry; and commentary on several episodes.
If you grew up in the 80’s and loved the Super Friends, this is a must-have. It may not be state-of-the-art animation like you see today, but it is great ‘good vs. evil’ superhero fun.
