The Angry Beavers: Seasons 1 & 2 [DVD]

A cartoon series that both children and adults will enjoy. This series is just plain fun! The Angry Beavers really aren't angry. They're brothers who get into all kinds of hijinks. One of their favorite pastimes is watching 50's B science fiction movies. The episode I'm watching right now is "The Day The Earth Got Really Screwed Up" which is a take off of the classic "The Day The Earth Stood Still". Peter Graves, Adrienne Barbeau, and William Schallert (The Patty Duke Show) lend their vocal talents. Another great release from Shout!Factory. The only negative is no extras.

Nickelodeon during the mid 1990s was a special place. While the network fancied itself a children's network, it was also a place where bizarre and inexplicable cartoons found a home. Two angry beavers was one of those genuinely quirky and difficult to define cartoons. Smart, genre crashing and purely entertaining, Two Angry Beavers was, in my opinion, a game changer in the 90s. With how beloved this cartoon was, it surprised me when I found out it was never released on DVD or Blu-Ray. Well, lo and behold, one day I check my email and out of the blue the creepy mind-reading division at Amazon.com apparently knew I wanted this DVD collection and offered me a pre-order. I took advantage and placed my order. The DVD was officially released on a Tuesday and by Friday I had it in my hands. I was very pleased with the overall experience, from the nicely discounted price to the eerie foresight that Amazon.com executed in its recommendation of the DVD. The quality of the DVD is pretty good and it was neat to wax nostalgic for a little while. The five star rating applies to both the Angry Beavers' DVD and Amazon.com

Just got my copy earlier this week and I'm glad I held out of the "best of" set. Every episode of seasons 1-2 are included in this set and are in the correct airdate order. The openings and endings are intact with each episode. The picture quality looks nicely remastered and is very clean. List of episodes... Disc 1: ep.1: Born to be Beavers/Up All Night ep.2: A Dam too Far/Long in the Teeth ep.3: Gift Hoarse/Go Beavers! ep.4: Box Top Beavers/Salmon Sez ep.5: Beach Beavers a Go-Go/Deranged Ranger ep.6: Muscular Beaver/Fish and Dips ep.7: Enter the Daggett/Bugaboo Disc 2: ep.8: Mission to the Big Hot Thingy/ I Dare You ep.9: Stinky Toe/House Broken ep.10: Fancy Prince/H-2 Whoa ep.11: The Bing That Wouldn't Leave/You Promised! ep.12: Bummer of Love/Food of the Clods ep.13: Tree's Company/Guess Who's Stumping to Dinner?

[End of Season 2] I remember this show like it was yesterday! Growing up in the '90's, we had some of the best shows and The Angry Beavers was one of those shows that I remember very clearly. But anyway, I think this is an amazing set. If you are a '90's kid looking for some nostalgia (my main reason for buying this) or a parent looking for a great cartoon for your kid(s) to watch, I definitely recommend this series. A great cartoon for all ages! The only con I can think of in this set is that some of the episode listing on the back of the DVD case are not in the correct order as they are on the DVD. For example, on episode 9, it's listed as "House Broken/Stinky Toe". On the DVD, it's listed in the correct order, "Stinky Toe/House Broken". I guess as long as the episodes are in the correct airdate order, that's all that really matters. Let's hope that Shout! Can give us a complete Season 3 set soon!

Kids enjoyed the show.

There are two seasons from the Nickelodeon show. They are amazing I wish I want to complete series it’s OK seasons 1&2 is great

Seriously funny stuff - two young beavers who move out into their own luxurious dam and deal with the highs and lows of life. My grandsons (ages 3 and 5) named it their favorite 'funny' cartoon and 'spooty' is becoming an oft-used word between the three of us. Even as a grandfather, most of the episodes are pretty funny for a cartoon. Plenty of riffing off what parents and grandparents did as footloose college age kids or young adults, without being offensive or losing the interest of the little ones, with plenty of physical humor. Highly recommended for making your younger kids laugh out loud. The title theme is also quite danceable, as the 3 y.o. has shown...

My faith in humanity has been restored! One of the most creative, quirky, hilarious cartoons in the last twenty years is finally on the market. It's a parody, it's a buddy movie, it's slapstick, it's an homage to campy pop culture, it makes kids and adults laugh until strange things fly out of their noses. I have seen bits and pieces of the elusive Nick slam episode that was never broadcast and is supposedly the reason Nick sat on the DVD release for so long (not a Fanboy, just naturally curious). Could be myth, could be the truth, who knows? Whatever happened, someone woke up, smelled the stuffed jalapenos and made a whole bunch of people very, very happy. Now they need to get their act together and release the rest of the Norb and Daggy oeuvre.

In the style of Looney Tunes the Angry Beavers has many levels of satire and sophistication...but it is also a great riff on sibling relationships, B-Movies, dams, life, romantic relationships, and giant thumbs. Norbert & Dagget are fun. I want a canoe bunkbed, a friend that is a bear who talks like Barry White and a friend who is a tree stump. Animation fits the characters perfectly communicating personality and charm. All other "grown up" factors aside Norby and Daggy Waggy put the fun in cartoons again for me! I am glad to be able to get Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD.

Ordered this for christmas and was hoping it would ARRIVE in time for the big day. Arrived just after but this had been forecast. Product was good and well appreciated by recipient.

Exactly as shown, awesome child hood cartoon!!!

I can hardly believe it's been nearly 15 years since I used to watch this show. Or perhaps more accurately, I CAN believe it, considering the state this collection seems to be in. I wasn't really expecting any bells or whistles, and sure enough there's no bonus features of any kind to be spoken of and the menu system was thrown together in an hour's time over a busy weekend. What outright distresses me, though, is the egregious amount of image combing that's worked its way into the footage. The deinterlacing process must have been outsourced to some Korean sweat shop, because you can find several episodes of the show still kicking around YouTube in which the animation has been preserved far more smoothly, in spite of the extra artifacting. It's great to have all these old episodes again, but I find it horrible to think that this is the best official job that's being done to preserve these shows for future generations. I'm suddenly much more hesitant to consider investing in the CatDog or Rocko's Modern Life collections.
