Review: An amazing release! - This show was produced in the year I was born, and was one of the shows that stood out from my childhood. Even twenty years after watching it I could still sing the themesong! So when I saw that there was a DVD release of this show, that I had seen hide nor hair of since the 80s ended, I hit the the 'add to basket' button faster than the speed of light! And when I recieved the boxset I was certainly NOT disappointed. The series itself is successful because of it's memorable characters, it's intelligent and thought out storyline and it's willingness to break the barriers of children's TV and create a show that appeals to a wider audience. Due to it's lingering popularity with the original fans of this show (and the recent trend of 80s animation making cult comebacks), Fabulous Films could have probably gotten away with throwing all the episodes on DVDs and leaving it at that. But this boxset is well packaged, comes with a lovely information book and every disc comes with some bonus materials (including missing scenes, concept art, interviews etc.). It's been lovingly restored (even though nothing short of complete reproduction is going to make the 28 year old animation look perfect, it still looks great to watch) and the sound and music sound wonderful, too. So I not only have to congratulate the original production staff for creating a great series but I also have to congratulate Fabulous Films for producing a fantastic release.
Review: Sharing memories- amazing series. - Absolutely loved sharing this with my own children, we watched every single episode together over the Christmas holidays and by the end my children were singing the theme tune and quoting the characters. A few outdated references that amused us all, such as Mendoza chastising an desertcart woman threatening him by saying “that’s quite enough my dear” and pushing her into a lake, and a few slightly to brutal clips in the educational documentary that plays after each cartoon episode discussing the history in a slightly more upfront manner that kids are taught now, there also is a scene of a hunter in one of the documentary’s with doesn’t cut away during, like it probably would now. After a while we got ready for the documentary that plays after each episode with the remote control ready to forward if needed, it’s really not that bad but some thing to be aware of. You could always just skip the documentary that plays after for very young kids, though it’s very educational and taught me also as a grown up a lot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My childhood memories on DVD!
*by J***R on 27 August 2015*

I didn't even realise a DVD set had been released, but when I saw it, I had to have it! This show takes me right back to my childhood, and was easily my favourite show at the time. I never saw the second series, but the reviews appear to be somewhat mixed on that one, so I doubt i'll be watching it any time soon. This first series is the one I know and love. All 39 episodes, fully remastered. Ok, so it's not in widescreen, but that doesn't take away the awesomeness of this show. It didn't take long for the memories to come flooding back. Esteban and his mischievous friends, the Golden Condor, and arguably the very best title theme ever!
