Defenders of the Earth debuted in 1985 with a companion toy line. I was always a Flash Gordon fan, so I was delighted to see him team up with The Phantom, Mandrake the magician, and super strong man Lothar to fight Ming the Merciless. Ming is now intent on conquering the Earth and has an army of ice robots to assist him. Our heroes have teamed up not only with themselves, but with their children in their fight against the evil space emperor. The animation is on par with other action cartoons from the 1980s. Some of the plots are well developed for a cartoon series while others are a bit campy. After all, this is a children's show. However,in the pilot episode, Ming actually kills Flash Gordon's wife (which is not Dale Arden by the way). This makes Flash more determined than ever to defeat his arch-rival. Here you have all 65 episodes which comprised this historic merger of the King Syndicates comic strip characters. I strongly recommend this DVD to fans of Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Mandrake, and Lothar.Read full review
The Stories were up to par. Sci-Fi and adv the best. These Dvd's were "Out of these Worlds"! Like this type of ami (i.e cartoons) also liked the heroes. Let's go and get the bad guys...Laugh The Cartoon Guy M.S.Holder
