Review: Wacky Races: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
Warner Archive release Wacky Races on Blu-ray!
Start your engines! Diabolical do-badder Dick Dastardly, his snickering canine cohort Muttley and their Mean Machine take on you and all comers for all the fast and furious fun of the complete animated series Wacky Races.
Gear up to keep pace with this dimwitted duo as well as their rivals: Peter Perfect in his Turbo Terrific, Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chucgabug, the Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb and glamorous Penelope Pitstop in her pink Compact Pussycat.
Overview
Warner Archive delights with this Complete Series set of the popular Hanna-Barbera cartoon series “Wacky Races”.
Each of the episode titles are listed respectively on the front of each disc in this 2-disc BD-50 disc set.
The series was originally broadcasted on CBS as a Saturday morning cartoon from 1968-1969 with reruns airing the following year.
The show was inspired by the 1965 hit film “The Great Race”.
Spread across two discs - you’re given the option to play all of the individual segments by their Episode/Segment name or PLAY ALL and you can have your own Wacky Races marathon.
The total runtime for this complete series set is 408 minutes.
Visual
Warner Archive always achieves the highest level quality when it comes to their encoding standards. Each episode/segment is presented in 16x9 1.33:1 with side mattes. Colors are rich and vibrant and truly shines in crisp HD.
Audio
Each episode/segment has its own DTS-HD MA 2.0 Mono audio track. The audio is crisp with dialogue clear and the racing scenes rip.
This is a 10/10 release for any fans of the series and/or Hanna-Barbera cartoon. The hand-drawn 2D Animation looks stunning in HD and am very proud to add this to my collection.
