AAHH!! Real Monsters is GREAT! MEET THE MONSTERS is a collection of one of the greatest animated TV shows of all time, but the quality is so bad, it looks like someone taped it off the TV. Though the TV show is great, these aren't the very best Real Monsters cartoons, there are ones that are a lot better. The cartoons include:
COLD HARD TOENAILS Ickis gets rich (human toenails are monster money) and he refuses to go to school. If you used to watch it on TV, you'll realize they showed this episode ALL THE TIME!!
ATTACK OF THE BLOBS They showed this one all the time, also. It stands to reason, though. Since they showed two cartoons every half-hour and this one was RIGHT AFTER COLD HARD TOENAILS. Oblina claims she knows all about blobs.
KRUMM GOES HOLLYWOOD Krumm is hired by a hollywood director who thinks he's a human in a monster costume. This is pretty funny, but you can tell it's an early one. Oblina, Ickis AND Krumm sound younger than normal and the Gromble is unusually cruel (it's really funny when the Gromble flosses Ickis).
HISTORY OF THE MONSTER WORLD This one is basically a regular day at the Monster Academy. It isn't that good.
I DREAM OF SNORCH WITH THE LONG GOLDEN HAIR This one would have been great, if it wasn't for the fact it was so disgusting.
Buy: MONSTER'S NIGHT OUT. That has better cartoons on it.
Caution: This was recorded in EP mode! I just bought this tape and found that all 57 or so minutes of it are crammed onto a few feet of tape because it was duplicated in EP mode instead of SP. (We all know that most movies come in SP mode.) The quality suffers a lot.
The video cassette in this case is mostly empty space. I really don't get it. Why ruin such a fun cartoon this way? Does that extra video tape really cost so much? Why why?
