[Highly rated reviewer]

The Seat of Forgetfulness is a good episode, but it kind of lacks a bit of explanation at the end. There is also a good episode called Trapped Between Fire and Ice, that obviously borrows from Alien and Termintor. Funnily enough, the mysterious spaceship they find is said to be from the year 2001. We must have been a lot more optimistic about space travel back in the 80's.

Incidentally, I've noticed a lot of Star Wars samples in use. Particularly Nono the robot, who's stolen R2D2's bleeps. Also, Ulysses' sword sometimes sounds like a lightsabre, as do the Trident spacecraft when they fire their lasers. Obviously Mr Lucas' legal team never spotted it. Or did they?

Ulysses 31 Volume Two

By LoonyTunes (15 reviews) from Cardiff , 04 Mar 2010

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Episodes: The Temples of the Lestrigones, The Seat of Forgetfulness, Trapped Between Fire and Ice, Phantoms from the Swamp, Song of Danger, Before the Flood, The Magic Spells of Circe, Lost in the Labyrinth, At the Heart of the Universe. This stars Ulysses himself, his son Telemachus, the little alien girl Yumi, the little robot Nono and their hibernating crew who travel through the Olympian universe in a ship called the Odyssey in search of a place called the Kingdom of Hades and their home: Earth! The crew are in hibernation because the Gods of Olympus were rather angry with Ulysses because he destroyed their Cyclops while rescuing his son and Yumi. So, each episode is either a trial, trap or both! This DVD is recommended as a chance to live your fantasies again or just an excuse to watch something good with your kids that doesn't require you to 'switch your brain off' so to speak. This DVD compares very favourably with other DVDs of this type and should be watched for the simple fact that this is pure fun and is very good.

Eighties Cartoons were the Best...

By TheRTW from Wiltshire , 28 Feb 2005

Relive the good old days of the early eighties when cartoons had cheesy rock guitar soundtracks, Star Wars inspired laser weaponry and annoying 'comedy sidekick' robots.

Ulysees is well animated and dark. Although this might not be the best of the three volumes, the episodes are characteristically bleak - the heroes are alone in a hostile universe where the Gods are sinister and vindictive and the planets inhabited by evil forces.
