MY THOUGHTS:

“Transformers:  Beast Wars” originally aired in 1996 and I had never seen it before.  My husband is a big Transformers-anything fan so when I heard about this show coming to DVD, I figured it would be a hit with my husband and sons.  My 3 year old was actually glued to the DVD, even though he probably didn’t understand the conversation or what was going on.  The characters though are animals, which is what got my boy’s attention since they were talking and fighting animals!  The DVD has ten hours of content, starring the 26 episodes from Season One of the show.  I like how the episodes flow together, there are credits after each episode but the next one starts up immediately.  The animation is computer generated but still looks good.  Overall, my 3 and 4 year old like this DVD, as does my husband, but I think a boy maybe 8 and up would really appreciate the DVD or just fans in general of the old show.  I love how Shout Factory is bringing back old school shows!
