This is undoubtably one of the greatest cartoons of all time. I grew in the 90's watching Batman the animated series, along with Spider-man, and what separates this show from those two classics is it's mature theme of PREJUDICE. I love how this show can be viewed by both adults and children alike. I pity kids growing up now..they don't write/make cartoons like this anymore!

If you bought and enjoyed Volume 1 & 2 then you have to purchase volume 3 & 4. Volume 3 contains some of my favorite episodes that I remember when I was a kid in the 90's. The episode titled Nightcrawler is incredibly well done and introduces one of the X-mens most popular characters (even though I feel he should have been introduced earlier and had more episodes where he appeared). With that being said, all of the episodes are fun and enjoyable to watch, even the Morlock Little X-mas episode which is incredibly corny. Face it, if you're a fan of the X-men series in the 90's you're gonna want to have the entire collection.

Marvel characters know that power has a price. Spider-Man knows that with power comes great responsibility. The X-Men, their fellow mutants and various foes, all grapple with the consequences of their powers, whether for good or evil. Storm in fact, is especially challenged in a four-parter called "The Dark Phoenix" in which she finds herself in an evil role -- and kind of like it. This inner turmoil can be pretty deep stuff. The DVD's are rated Y7, clearly for older kids, teens and adults. It's pretty intense stuff, well executed and a great way to get to know these interesting characters well.

Very little of this series was anything like the comics at the time. The voices fit the characters very well with a few excetions... some accents were just PAINFULL!
The stories were VERY good... all my favorite characters were shown, even if they were guest stars. They got the ages correct (unlike the current X-Men programs).. I have been EAGERLY waiting for them to complete this series on DVD! This is a shinning example of what can be created with superheros if everyone tries their best!
One question: What is the deal with cutting out the production company's LOGO at the end of each episode?
