Zorro

I used to watch "Zorro" a few years ago on WB. It was on really early in the morning and his awesome adventures always woke me up. Zorro was very good looking and helped make the show what it was. I also liked the "Zorro" theme song.

My top five favorite episodes were: "Two Zorros Are Better than One" (I have it on video), "The Case of the Masked Marauder", "The Pirates of San Pedro", "The Poison Pen", and "Return of the Conquistadors". I wish I had them all on video since I remember them all being very good.

I was very upset when this show left the air. I miss it and hope to see it again someday. I give it 8/10 stars.

A workman-like retelling of the Zorro story. The animation is average at best, and the characters are pretty thinly drawn. The most enjoyable part is the Wild Wild West-like approach of tossing in "futuristic" 19th century technology (steam-powered wheelchairs and robots, submarines, etc.) and the occasional supernatural element like Japanese sorcerers and Raven-spirits. The main problem is that Zorro just isn't that engaging a hero: he's very rarely challenged and never fails to have just the gadget (of which he has a huge variety of) he needs to defeat the bad guy of the moment.

It may not be the most well-known or indeed the most beloved, but this is the version of Zorro that I grew up watching, so it has some sort of nostalgic gloss put on it by me.

It's good fun, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and is a nice introduction for kids to the world of Zorro.

I'm sure there are clips available online if people are interested.
