"Krypto: The Superdog - Vol-2-Super Pets Unleashed"
Reviewer:
Colleen Sidi
Studio: Warner Brothers
Genre: TV-Series
Release:
10/24/06
Special Features: Power Up! A Rrrrrousing Rrrrrundown of Krypto's Special Powers
Review:

It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope, it's a dog in a cape. This is the story of Krypto, Superman's dog who got stranded on Earth. Soon after he was adopted by a little boy named Kevin.This disc has five crime fighting episodes. Originally aired on the cartoon network, they are Streaky Story, Diaper Madness, Feline Fatal, Dog-gone Kevin, and The Dark Hound Strikes.****

Krypto has many great friends (as all super dogs should). There is Ace the Bathound whose owner is who else, Batman of course. Streaky is Andrea's cat and Krypto's next door neighbor, who likes to hang out with the local alley cats. Kevin Whitney is Krypto's owner who recently moved to Metropolis, found Krypto the dog who is now his best friend. All that leaves is the Dogstar Patrol who come form all different galaxies to Krypto's aid. What more could a kid ask for? Dogs and cats who are superheroes, it's the perfect cartoon. ****

This cartoon is very kid friendly. The episodes are very short so they can keep a kids attention I suppose. There is some slapstick humor but none of it is very violent. The good guys are very good but the bad guys aren't so bad. I think they could use a little more charisma but again, they are aiming to please little kids, not middle aged moms. As a mom though, it's not the worse cartoon to watch, I would take Krypto over Pokemon cartoons any day. Image and Sound: This is a very simple but colorful cartoon. The animation is nothing spectacular and Krypto reminds me a lot of Scooby Doo. The theme song is lame but the sound quality was fine. In a day where animation is so detail orientated it's hard to watch something so simplistic. But it's fun watch and full of bright colors for the kids.

Special Features:

Power Up is a animated kid friendly look at all of Krypto's powers. They break it down by each body part and the powers they possess. For example, his eyes have x-ray vision and heat lasers. Each example uses a clip from one of the episodes to show them in use.

Final Words:

For me, this is not my favorite cartoon. I tend to compare everything to the old school cartoons like Ducktales or Gummi Bears and this doesn't't measure up. It's fun for the kids though, and for a quick cartoon fix this cartoon is ok but I won't seek it out on my own.
