Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines: The Complete Series

By 1969, as networks scrubbed TV of superhero violence, Bill Hanna welcomed a return to pure comedy: "We as a studio have always been specialists in comedy and satire..." He noted their techniques had evolved beyond early static TV animation, explaining, "In the beginning, we would put a character into the pose and animate the mouth only. Now we animate the entire head." Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines put that extra expressiveness to work, delivering aerial slapstick that, as Ted Sennett wrote in The Art of Hanna-Barbera, "contained inspired sequences equal to any live-action comedy." Warner Archive’s 1080p Blu-ray rescues the series from muted '90s tape masters; sourced directly from fresh 4K scans of the original 35mm camera negatives, it restores razor-sharp ink lines, vivid cel pigments, and balanced color, making it an essential upgrade for collectors.

Beautiful colors and animation that pops! Another excellent add for your Hanna Barbera Bluray Collection! The Warner Archive doesn’t miss with its restorations of these classics show casing them as they were intended. This set does include the bonus features from the original DVD release as well. The commentaries from the DVD are on Standard Definition versions of the episodes not the newly remastered high definition versions.

Another note is that one episode does have some odd cropping but nothing major. All other episodes are perfect with no cropping.

This set is well worth the price and belongs along side your other Hanna Barbera Classics on BluRay!
