"Ok, I will admit that the Spider-man Animated Series was one of the best modern kids' cartoon shows. I was certainly a fan. However, the way they are releasing the DVDs is really crappy. Spider-Man's seasons averaged about 13 episodes. Normally, a thirteen-episode season on DVD would be about 20 bucks. Instead we are getting four episodes for our twenty bucks. Also, the best part of Spider-Man was the ongoing storylines. Here the episodes are taken out of the full context. In short, you can buy this if you really like the Spider-Man show. But otherwise keep your money, because you're kinda being ripped off."
Great dvd for the little guys!

"If you have a little "spidey" in your house, don't overlook this dvd! We checked this out of the library on a VHS tape (I don't advise it either!) and well, it's been true love ever since for my little guy! I had to get the dvd since we kept having to renew the tape from the library. This is a super long show, however, so keep that in mind before purchasing a VHS version. It about killed our VHS player! All that said, the animation is quite good, and it's just great fun seeing all of Spidey's adventures. This is just a very nice cartoon for the kids and well done. Highly recommend!"
The best one yet!

Good Modern Version of Doc Ock but prefers old school Spidey

"I do like this modern version of Spider-Man. It was produced in the 90's with a little computer animation for the buildings in the background. I do have to say it is better than most cartoon adaptions of Marvel. Much better than the kid friendly Fantastic Four produced at the same time. If you like the comics you won't be disappointed. While not spectacular like some multi million dollar epics it still is entertaining. The 80's incarnation with Firestar and Iceman should still make it's way to DVD. It's a worthy companion to this series."
Not suitable for young kids.

"I thought that this video would be calmer than some of the other Spiderman cartoons that I have purchased in the past. It is still pretty violent and I had to take it away from my 4 year old. I am surprised how hard it is to find a Spiderman cartoon for young kids."
