“Plastic Man Complete Collection"
Reviewer:
Kris Devereux
Studio: Warner Brothers
Genre:
TV-Series
Release Date:
Oct 20 2009
Special Features:

Includes the documentary "Plas-tastic" a not-so brief history on Plastic Man and a rare and lost plot for a unaired Plastic Man update series that was supposed to air on Cartoon Network in 2000 called "Puddle Trouble".

Review:

In what could be the oddest release to come shambling out of the Warner Bros animated vaults the return of Plastic Man. Through he had three series in the late 70's (1979) & the early 80's (1980) he's really more a cult favorite that's been around almost as long as DC's heavy hitters premiered in Police Comics (1) in (1941), through the character has had a very confusing history to be honest but in this release and in this series it takes mostly a slapstick approach to him. He's always been a wisecracking hero never taking anything seriously not even himself, in the series Plastic takes on a gaggle of would be villains none of these with the exception of classic Superman villain, Toyman have either popped up since or in the comics on the DVD episodes include all the episodes of the first season and the first (3) of the second season of the series basically he traveled the world battling the lamest collection of would-be supervillans ever.

Image and Sound:

Not good compared to other Warner Brothers animated efforts, The Sound is bearable at best and the picture quality is pretty poor but considering this is from the tail end of the 70's - early 80's. Warner Brothers restoration efforts tried there best.

Special Features:

The unaired plot for a 2000 revival it's good but kudos to Warner Brothers for the documentary on here that explains Plastic Man's history both pre & post crisis on infinite earths through it doesn't quite verify if this Plastic Man is the Earth 2 version or the one currently serving in the Justice League of America or not.***

The documentary tries to explain his history as simply as they can, these includes interviews with DC comics writer Mark Evanier Plastic Man's English voice actor Tom Kenny and animation producer James Tucker.

Final Words:

A good (4) disk collection of the first (2) seasons of the Plastic Man animated series through the documentary on here does explain quite a bit about his long history,but one question remains what about the two spin off series that were produced, Is Warner Brothers depending on sales of this (4) disk set releasing the last two series hopefully the answer will be YES and hopefully in the future perhaps WB will return to the character in the future.
