Return to Those Thrilling Days of Yesterday
|
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Filmation so busy with animation shows like Superman, the Archies, Flash Gordon, Fat Albert, Aquaman (all on DVD), Batman, Tarzan (not on DVD), The Secret of Isis, Jason of Star Command, Ark II (all of DVD) and many others.
I enjoy watching the Lone Ranger and Zorro hour when I was in college, it ran in 1980-1981. Now these episodes are on DVD, bring me back to the glory days of Saturday animation. The animation was better than most today.
From the moment you hear the William Tell overture, you are transported to a bygone era. The dialog of this cartoon is played out more like a old fashion old time radio show. William Conrad (credited as J. Darnoc), the voice of Radio's Matt Dillion on Gunsmoke, did the voice of the Lone Ranger. His booming voice had a character and a power. he vocally created the voice of the masked man and you will believe it.
The episodes of the Lone Ranger is part historic and part western lore. At emd of each episode of Ranger and Zorro is a 30 historical insight.
Zorro was the only time Filmation relied on outsourcing on a cartoon.The company created its animated Zorro series. It was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha of Japan. The storyboards and graphics however, were made by Filmation themselves.However other than a few gaffs, you will never notice.
Note this is not Disney's version of Zorro. This cartoon had a mostly latina cast for Zorro, first time in TV history even for a cartoon. Henry Darrow did the vocals for Zorro/Don Diego. Don Diamond , who was Reyes from the original Disney versonof Zorro, voices Sergeant Gonzales.
This is also told in a radio show like style
Note this is the first volume of Lone Ranger/zorro, the final volume is expected later in 2008. The original run of the series had 28 Ranger and 13 Zorro episode. On this collection, it has 11 episodes of the Ranger, 6 Episodes of Zorro
If you are a fan of great animation and good storytelling, this is the best seven hours you will enjoy
