Having purchased the first DVD I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. Oh, it's been a long wait. This DVD is arguably better than the first as we are now right in the heart of the story and everything is happening to our little hero. It is however wrong of me to compare them as they are One for All and all for one, and should be judged as a whole.

They are great, and it's everybit as good as I remember. It's great to be able to buy it on DVD, even better than the old vedio releases that only had a couple of episodes on at a time. I only hope that more of our old childrens programmes become available, i.e Pegeon Street and Bertha. But for now this will do nicely.

The bonus stuff on the DVD is basically the same as on the first one, just presented differently. But who cares about the bonus features, they are always overated anyway. It's the main feature that is important. And What a main feature.

If you liked Dogtanina as a kid then buy this and the other DVD's, But buy them from onedvd.com as postage is free and it cost me just 4.85.

It is a shame that there are only 6 episodes on this release and not nine like on the first. Anyhow it's still great. Many thanks to Revelation Films for bringing this out, we are in your debt.

Dogtanian
Review date: 2003-08-31 Rating: 10 out of 10

The second installmaent of this nostalgic cartoon is finally out. It reminds me of my childhood and although it was shown so many years ago, it is still as popular with kids now as it was then. This cartoon was originally made for a French audience based on the famous novel yet translates very well for the English audience.
In episodes 10-15 we see Juliet rescued from the villain by the muska hounds and also get more of Dogtanions troublesome attics.
Great for kids (and adults who the right age to remember it), a definate must have for the collection.

The superb adventure continues, with sadly fewer episodes

This collection contains episodes 10-15 of the classic 1980s cartoon series about Dogtanian of Berne, who has travelled alone to Paris with the dream of becoming one of the celebrated Muskehounds. However, as the previous nine episodes have proven, his dream's lure has led to numerous obstacles (plus falling in love with the Queen's lady in waiting, Juliette) as well as making some enemies led by the evil Cardinal Richelieu.

This second DVD in the collection of 'Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds' also contains profiles of the characters and a biography of Alexandre Dumas (who wrote the book the series is based on: 'The Three Musketeers'), plus the lyrics to the theme tune.

One thing I was impressed by, after having bought the first DVD, was that the main menu screen was actually more animated compared to the simple still image of that DVD. Great work there!

The series continues to delight, and the story is still as charming and entertaining as I remember (I was almost a teenager when it first went on Children's TV in 1985), and the animation and characters are still as wonderful as ever. It's just a shame that there are not as many episodes on this DVD as there is on the previous one. It still gets a High Five from me, though! Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the next instalment of episodes!
