Green Lantern: The Animated Series [Blu-ray]

If you loved Batman the animated series, you need this series in your life.Produced by Bruce Timm (Batman:TAS), Giancarlo Volpe (Avatar:TLA) and Jim Krieg (Ben10), they gave us an engaging story that not only managed to introduce us to the Green Lantern mythos, but a full-fledged and fleshed out cast that audiences were eager to follow throughout the depths of space. I've been a fan of DC's animated series since I was a tiny elementary student, and I was/am utterly enamored with this show as an adult.The thing that really stands out about this series for me is that the character relationships were so strong, and while Hal Jordan is undoubtedly the lead, the series does not ignore the rest of the crew and develops them all with excellent story pacing. Additionally, big support characters (Carol Ferris, Saint Walker, Ghia'ta, Sayd, Ganthet, etc) are given spotlight and contribute greatly to the overall story, shaping and guiding the development of newcomer characters like Aya (the advanced A.I and navigator of the GL crew's ship) and Razer (a Red Lantern seeking redemption).In the 26 episode run, the show managed to cover a great plethora of themes and moral lessons with intelligent, and fairly enlightened respect while still being clear enough for children to understand--something greatly missed in a lot of today's children's programming.It is so wholly unfair the the failure of toy sales from the live action film, not in anyway associated with this feature, helped to doom this excellently crafted story. I can only hope that the network executives and appropriate higher ups revisit this show and give it the extended run it truly deserves.On a final note, while I and many others will agree that this show was ended before its time, it does not mean that the story itself suffers from an abrupt/jarring ending. While it will definitely leave you wanting more, the series does come full circle to give a satisfying and hopeful conclusion.Treat yo' self--give this series a watch and then show your support!

IT PLAYS BABY!

Great series on a DC character that gets a share, but not enough. There are galaxies to explore with this character. There should be live action movies/tv series, more animated series, & the list is endless of what could be done. In other words, I'd like to see more of GL & the Flash too.

I’m a sucker for dc and comic book characters, I saw this show on HBO Max and I was aware there was a physical copy of the show, so I decided to get it and the best part it’s on bluray

First of all, I know almost nothing about Green Lanterns except the little knowledge I knew about John Stewart from watching Justice League and Justice League Unlimited on Saturday mornings as a kid. The movie with Ryan Reynolds (seriously?!) really put me off from watching this series, and I just want to kiss all the people that pushed me into watching this because I never could have been even more wrong in my entire life. I fell in love with the show, the characters, the scenery, and the animation. I'm really picky about 3D animation and usually dislike it but this is GORGEOUSLY DONE. Each of the characters move in an unique way and have excellent facial expressions to get their emotions across to the point where words aren't needed. It's a "show, not tell" type of television that recent children's TV shows have been lacking. I have never been so upset that this show was cancelled from Cartoon Network, deprived of a second season. Regardless of its short life, it's a good series to show to kids and adults alike, full of lessons (nothing too preachy I promise) that I remember from my childhood Saturday mornings. I still hold hope that this series will be picked up for the second chance it deserves. That all being said, I don't own a Blu-ray player, but I will buy one just because I own this, and because I want to see it all over again in high definition.

I want to give this product a 5, but with no special features it's too basic. As a lifelong GL fan I'm glad they saw the worth in attempting to make A series, just sad that they gave up on such quality. All in All he gotten better commercial treatment than most so I'm grateful. Will introduce this and various other GL related gems to my children.In brightest day....

Good

Visually amazing. The only way to really enjoy this amazing series, especially with all the beautiful colors presented by the various lantern corps, is on blu ray. I am a big Green Lantern fan and waited thirty years for a cartoon series. And the work that Bruce Timm did on this series made it well worth the wait. My only disappointment is that they did not carry on with the second season, which was supposed to have been an adaption of the Sinestro Corp War.Truly my favorite of the episodes released would have to be "Love is a Battlefield." The battle between Carol Ferris and Atrocitus is totally awesome. And the episode gives the viewer a strong insight into the feelings that Hal Jordan and Ferris have for each other.One other item I can say about the Green Lantern series is that it really did get better as it went along. And the continuous introduction of characters made the series even more interesting, such as Guy Gardner, Tomar Re, Ch'p, Sinestro, the Anti Monitor, the Steam Lantern, Saint Walker, Brother Warth, and Larfleeze.This is a series I cannot recommend enough to both Green Lantern and Bruce Timm animation fans. Truly amazing.
