"As usual, there are three episodes from the Pokemon series on this DVD. Things start off with a bang with the best episode on the DVD, Spinarak Attack! Ash and company run into a town filled with bug-type Spinarak, much to Misty's dismay. They also find Officer Jenny using her Spinarak to track down thieves who have taken the guise of the legendary Cat Burglar from years ago, who was finally captured by a Spinarak. Who could possibly be impersonating the famous thief? Why, it's Jessie, James and Meowth, who else? And they are threatening to steal a valuable vase... can they be stopped?... probably. Next up is Snubble Snobbery. Pay attention in this one, because you're going to see a running gag that will play out over the course of the series. A rich lady is smothering her pet Snubble, but Snubble doesn't seem to enjoy it much. When Team Rocket sneaks into the mansion, Snubble latches onto Meowth's tail and they run off with it. Can Ash get Snubble back to it's owner? And even more importantly, does Snubble even want to go back? Finally, in Little Big Horn, Brock finds a wounded baby Stantler in the park and helps heal it. Can they find its mother, and can Brock say goodbye to a Pokemon he's grown attached to? Overall, this is a good buy, especially if you're a Pokemon fan."
