Thundarr the Barbarian on DVD
Yes, it is true. Go to the WBShop to order Thundarr the Barbarian and complete your childhood memories . . . most likely by destroying a happy memory of fun by watching what is no doubt not as good as you remember it.
Man’s civilization is cast in ruin when a runaway planet speeds between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Two-thousand years later, Earth is reborn from the ashes with a savage landscape, strange creatures and a primitive sense of justice. But one man fights to spread peace throughout the land: he is Thundarr the Barbarian and you can own All 21 Exciting Adventures in a 4-Disc Collection starring Thundarr and his companions Ookla the Mok and sorceress Princess Ariel. Using their strength, courage and wits plus Thundarr’s magical Sunsword, they journey from village to village, liberating slaves and battling all kinds of beasts, mutants, wizards, thieves and robots. The future of Earth may be shrouded in darkness, but Thundarr the Barbarian bursts into action as a shining symbol of hope for humanity.
I don’t know, after watching the one episode on that crappy WB Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1980s anthology release, I felt like Thundarr totally lived up to my memories and then some.
I can’t wait to get my copy of this in the mail…
@Shawn – You’re not helping me resist the “buy” button. Nope. Not helping at all.
YouTube still had a batch of episodes, if you wanted to try before you buy it. I watched a couple, and it still has it’s moments.
I’m still kicking myself for not buying the Thundarr action figures of a few years back. They were dirt cheap on eBay for a long time, and now they’re way too spendy. Supply dried up somewhere, I guess.
@googum – I’ve got all three of those Thundarr figures. I should post reviews one of these days.
