It's great to finally have a decent copy of the original X-Men Animated Series from the 1990's. This collection contains my favourite saga Beyond Good & Evil.
I would highly reccomend this to any X-Men Fan.

It's not easy being a hero or a villain in the world of the X-Men. They're feared, shunned, misunderstood and generally have lots of mental baggage from their childhoods. Clearly the themes of prejudice, oppression and ignorance find many footholds in the serpentine storylines that weave through Volume 2 of Buena Vista's "Marvel Comic Book Collection" releases of the TV series, which first appeared in daytime syndication in the 90's.
That's not to say that the mutants don't relax and enjoy their lives once in a while. In one episode, several enjoy a picnic. They kid each other with fond affection. They are a truly dysfunctional family.
Nowhere on the series is this more evident than in the Christmas episode...yes, that's right -- called "Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas." Jubilee is happy to spend her first Christmas with the mutants, Gambit cooks up traditional holiday treats, and Beast makes a mess of the cranberry sauce. There are mess ups, mixed feelings, and reluctant grumps. Just like in most families. The episode also seems to be fully post scored, blending holiday tunes with the X-Men theme -- a nice touch that is not always done in a single TV animation due to the costs.

I really liked this series. It had my favorite story THE DARK PHOENIX SAGA. Nowhere near as good and the comic version, but still VERY good! It is a shame this series was canceled when MARVEL went though bankruptcy back in the mid 90s. I bet it would have gone on for many more seasons.
I am hoping they will release the last season, when they SERIOUSLY upgraded the animation...and finally showed THE PHALANX, and THE BROOD.

I have been and I think will always be an X-men fan! I loved this show on Fox Kids ever since its first airing. I bought a version of this on DVD sometime ago and payed alot more for it ( now I wished i hadn't makes me sick thinking about it) I don't remember exact cost but I know over 50.00 or more, it sucked bigger than anything. It was "copied" from old VHS/broadcast TV show, fuzzy, blurred. I knew from the ad it was this way so I didn't expect much,but it was the at the time the ONLY way to see this entire series completely.
I wished that a DVD version of M.A.S.K. would be brought out and somehow digitally remastered to fix up animation. Amazon sells vol. 1 and 2 of a DVD set but its like the above mention of original x-men set i bought. Picture was blurred, fuzzy, recorded with a vcr, etc.
I'm looking forward to buying the Wolverine and the X-men box set when Nicktoons network decides to release. I know I'm a 36 yr old man but as I stated I will always be an X-man!!

Ok my previous review caused some controversy so:
1) There are not only 4 episodes per disc I was exaggerating
2)I know usually lawyers and licensing are the cause for this delays
3) That is still no excuse for not remastering and adding bonus content to these releases
4) I still think people should wait for a release that shows respect for a show with such a following
5) I still hope they release the spiderman series soon, remastered and with bonus content, please
