Cartoon Network: Classic Ben 10 Season 1 (DVD)

I didn't grow up with Ben 10, but sometimes babysat a kid who watched it enough he wanted to be a superhero when he grew up. As an adult, I wanted to go back and see if it was any good, only to discover it's not really in circulation anymore, so I'm glad for Amazon letting me obtain a copy. I can say it's just as enjoyable to watch as an adult as it would've been for a kid. Part of that is because I have a brother like Ben, so I enjoy his character more. There's good humor, good animation, and unique storytelling, albeit a little episodic (as kid's shows usually are).

I came across this series when it was on Netflix and was hooked. As a fan of cartoons, I was blown away by how well crafted this series is, along with it's subsequent sequel series Alien Force and Ultimate Alien (not counting omniverse or the reboot series).This series is very well written and constructed overall, as it taps into that essential element for young kids that dream of being superheroes, here is ben Tennyson getting that chance largely by accident.I love how as the series progresses the mythology of the universe od this series builds and builds as we learn more about Grandpa max and his time as a 'plumber'. Ans also see Ben still be your typical 10 year old but also learn about doing the right thing and about his responsibilities, even when he isn't constantly bickering with his cousin Gwen.That was one thingbthatnalways kinda bothered me watching many of these epusodes back to back , hearing the sniping and bickering and gwen calling ben a dweeb a doofus a dork all the freaking time got really tiresome. Im grateful that by the time Alien Force was made they made the characters older and pretty much had the antagonism between Ben and Gwen replaced with genuine familial affection.Anyway, I loved how the people taht made this aeries were clearly comic book fans cu with the omnitrix and its abilities, it reminds one of tue Dial h for Hero, where the special dial allows the user to transform into different types of heroes for different types of situations. I especially love how Ben tries to go for one alien hero and ends up with a different one by mistake, which is funny but also Aids in teaching ben to think on his feet and make use of powers and abilities at his disposal. Also the fact that the omnitrix is green and even the symbol on the chest of each alien, and even the corps of plumbers being galactic defenders.and policemen, brings to mind the green lantern Corps.This first season sets the tone and also sets things in motion rather nicely.

My husband is a huge Ben 10 fan. Can as was I when I was little. We’ve slowly been collecting all the movies and tv shows that we can, it came brand new in the case, not opened, not scratched, still sealed. My daughter loves these!

I got it delivered a day ago and I am going to enjoy this for a very long time thanks and it came on time and my experiences on here was very good

My DVD came in on time, as described, well-packaged, and at a reasonable cost. I shall have no hesitation about ordering from this vendor again.

And I wasn't disappointed when I watched all the episodes again!

You will enjoy Ben 10 and of course there's violence and all that in there. But it isnt something that you can't allow your kids to watch. I like the show's premise Ben finding an alien watch The Omnitrex and attaches itself to him and we are off on a ride full of aliens, robots, villians and everything else under the sun. Along with his grandpa and annoying cousing Gwen. They battle whatever comes there way and Ben does his part in style and sometimes by accidentally switching to the wrong monster. A water type on top of a mountain and no water in sight. The 13 episodes are engaging and entertaining along with the storytelling.I'm looking forward to season 2 and seeing how they've progressed since last we saw the characters. Recommended highly.

How often do you see a kids' show that doesn't treat them like kids? Not often enough. It's a mark of a good kids show when you still enjoy it later on.
