Editorial Review: Description: Magilla Gorilla, is a loveable but clumsy gorilla, who lives in Mr. Peebles' Pet Shop. Mr Peebles repeatedly tries to sell or give away the gorilla with no success. Backing segments include Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse and Rocochet Rabbit & Droop-a-long Coyote. These 23 complete cartoons plus 8 bonus Magilla Gorilla classic Hanna Barbera cartoons are now available for the first time ever on DVD! Amazon.com: "No one buys gorillas anymore," laments Mr. Peebles in the initial installment ("Big Game") of this Hanna-Barbera animation. The shop owner has looked after Magilla (Allan Melvin, The Brady Bunch) since he was a baby. Customers take the snappily-dressed simian home, he messes everything up--they bring him back. Looks like Peebles (actor/director Howard Morris, The Atom Ant Show) is stuck with the big lug. Granted, little Ogee (Jean Vander Pyl, The Flintstones), who makes her debut in the seventh episode ("Come Blow Your Dough"), would love a pet gorilla, but the redheaded tot is always short of cash. Magilla first bounded onto the boob tube in 1964. Breaking from the usual pattern, the series premiered in syndication before moving to network TV two year later. Although the gorilla appears in the title cartoon of each episode, the other segments are dedicated to Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-long and Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse. Ricochet (Don Messick, Scooby-Doo) is "the fastest sheriff in the west," Droop-a-long coyote (Mel Blanc, Bugs Bunny) is his foot-dragging deputy, and Punkin' (Melvin) and Mushmouse (Morris) are a hillbilly Tom and Jerry, locked in a rambunctious Hatfield and McCoy-type feud. This Classic Collection includes 23 episodes plus eight shorts. Throughout, the gorilla is drafted by the army ("Private Magilla"), cast in a movie ("Groovey Movie"), and abducted by aliens ("Planet Zero"). After moving to ABC, the secondary toons would eventually be replaced by Breezly and Sneezly and Peter Potamus and His Magic Flying Balloon, featuring much of the same voice talent. In both cases, the suspender-sporting primate was the top star of the show. As the theme song, introduced in episode 14 ("Motorcycle Magilla"), would have it, "A gorilla like Magilla is nice at any price!" --Kathleen C. Fennessy Average Rating:
 Rating:  - good old time memoryMagilla was a favorite to me. It was nice to have the collection to ejoy with my son. Rating:  - Magilla Gorilla is Cool!Magilla Gorilla is one of my favorite cartoon characters (along with yogi bear, snagglepuss). He is just one of the most amusing cartoon characters to ever appear on tv. Personally, I recommend this complete series set to anyone who loves the loveable, huggable Magilla Gorilla. Plus, you get Mush Mouse & Pumpkin Puss and Ricochet Rabbit. Trust me, this is a set for fans of classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons that don't hardly appear on tv anymore. Buy this set and enjoy it ...

Rating: - Great!This DVD is just great! Bright colors, great theme song! And, of course, the adventures of that gorilla! I recommend this DVD to ALL!!!! Enjoy!!!! Rating:  - Good Old CartoonsI think the old cartoons are great and love showing them to my kids. I was particularly looking for Breezley and Sneezley (which I read was on these dvd's) and have yet to see one on there. So I am a bit disappointed. But if I was looking specifically for all the rest it is great. Browse for similar items by category:
