Product Description Cartoon Network: The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: Volume 1Oh buoy! Set a course for misadventure and take a trip to the bizarre sea village of Stormalong Harbor with a kooky kid named FlapJack and his very best friends - a crusty old pirate called Captain K'nuckles, and a wise-talking whale, Bubbie, whose mouth they call home sweet home. Cartoon Network’s popular show “FlapJack” is back and releasing with fan favorite episodes on a single disc DVD, for an amazing value!]]> desertcart.com Not since SpongeBob SquarePants has nautical nonsense made such waves. The Cartoon Network series The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack boasts striking stylized animation, a gallery of endearing and bizarre characters, and a marvelous crew of voice actors headed by a gravel-voiced Brian Doyle-Murray as Captain K'nuckles (the "k" is not silent), whose first (and only) mate is a wide-eyed moppet, Flapjack, who yearns for adventure. They live in the mouth of a blue whale, Bubbie, who acts as a kind of Orcan Jiminy Cricket. This DVD contains the series' first five episodes, a scant output that may disappoint the show's burgeoning cult following, but for newcomers, it's just enough to get their feet wet. Comparisons with SpongeBob are inevitable. Standing in for the Krusty Krab in this series is the Candy Barrel, where sweets are dispensed instead of booze, and the proprietor, Peppermint Larry, has a candy wife. Though not as sublimely silly and good-natured as SpongeBob, Flapjack has cross-generational appeal with silly stories and characters for kids and savvy writing to tickle adults. In the story "Several Leagues Under the Sea," a Captain Nemo-esque character powers his mechanical "alpha whale" with "the angst of 30 juvenile delinquents." There are also some lessons to be learned about friendship. Entertaining see-worthy extra features take viewers behind the scenes of the series to introduce creator Thurop Van Orman (who voices Flapjack), glimpse the cast at work behind the microphones, and follow the animation process. --Donald Liebenson Review: Flap-tastic!!!! - Ever since Flapjack aired on Cartoon Network, I have been an avid watcher. It is one of the most creative, fun, and continuously interesting cartoons I have seen in a very long time (since Rocko's Modern Life and others from the 90s good cartoon era). The style and artistic flair that inhabits Flapjack is absolutely great as well. It is visually pleasing and personally I think the color scheme, textured backgrounds, setting composition, character design and execution fits the nautical/pirat-y/adventure theme and haphazard adventures perfectly. Although this is a nautical themed show, it is NOT like Spongebob. Both shows are clever, fun, and creative, but plot lines, characters, and the overall feel of the show is totally different. All in all, I highly recommend buying this. Cartoon Network is terrible about marketing and products, so there is no guarantee that when this is gone it will come back and I'm not sure if these will be made into full seasons on dvd, but this is a good price for a volume of great works. Review: For a true Adventure. - Although it was canceled , it was a really good cartoon , FOR ADULTS. Silly writers what were you thinking? Back a few years ago kids could have adults as friends , my sis and I would often spend hours at the neighbors house and listen to him tell us stories of depression and war. Now a days that pour guy would be considered a bad guy by the public at large. As for Knuckles, he's just nuts and so is Flapjack. Bubby is the only sane one in the whole bunch! The folks in down town Storm A long are quite salty , I guess all that fish and seawater has made them that way. There is Peppermint Larry and Candy wife(whats eating her),the Dock Hag(someone from N.O.W.) and my favorite Dr. Barber(hair cut anyone) ? I guess the rest of the seasons will come when we all get Candy Island, until then we will all have to stay safe at the dock, which is NO place for an Adventurer!

For a true Adventure.
Although it was canceled , it was a really good cartoon , FOR ADULTS. Silly writers what were you thinking? Back a few years ago kids could have adults as friends , my sis and I would often spend hours at the neighbors house and listen to him tell us stories of depression and war. Now a days that pour guy would be considered a bad guy by the public at large. As for Knuckles, he's just nuts and so is Flapjack. Bubby is the only sane one in the whole bunch! The folks in down town Storm A long are quite salty , I guess all that fish and seawater has made them that way.

ALSO THEY HAVE ONE SIDED HUMER{AMERICAN DAD AND FAMILY GUY} IN CLOSING PLEASE MAKE SEASON 2 NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL BUY IT!

how could you NOT love flapjack?!
what can you say?!... it's a nicely packaged DVD set! ...flapjack is cute, funny, and clever.. more of an adult show thinly disguised as a children's show... not unlike spongebob... where a bunch of the jokes are for the adults too... but those jokes are over the kids heads.. very enjoyable for kids and grown ups! but it's also definitely a kid's show. nothing very naughty... no swears or anything dirty... but don't buy this is you're an overly-concerned parent, who doesn't like their kids watching "weird" cartoons... cause it's definitely weird. bottom line: love me some flapjack! for fans of spongebob, chowder, adventure time, and adult swim.

Love Flapjack
I absolutely loved watching Flapjack on Cartoon Network. I was pretty upset when it was no longer able to be watched on TV so this DVD was a very welcome addition to my video collection. There's quite a few episodes on here and all are hilarious! 😆. I really wish they would release the entire series, that would be a definite purchase for me!! This is good for adults and children. Highly recommend.

Just a wonderful show
I was a huge fan of the show when it started, and I'm still a huge fan several years later. I'm ecstatic that the full first season is finally available somewhere in legitimate ownership form. It's a silly but sometimes dark cartoon that has legitimate characters. This show is one of the few cartoons where you don't know where the story is going most of the time, which I think is a quality most cartoons don't have anymore. I really recommend watching this show if you liked Spongebob Squarepants, Adventure Time, or Courage The Cowardly Dog.

Yes, it's awesome
Like the title says. When i first saw previews for this show on cartoon network i was a little sceptical. This is one of the few shows however, which top almost any and is up there with Spongebob. Although I'm sure its some sort of a Spongebob knockoff, the characters are loveable, the plots unpredictable, and sometimes oddy disturbing and surprising. Hopefully it wont get canceled like Invader Zim, because everyone hates to see a good show go. Overall, this cartoon is worth watching of you are one to appreciate a little dark, creepy and odd humor.

Check it out
Only 5 episodes on this set. Actually, 10. You got five 22 minute episodes, but in them, about two 10 minute episodes. So your paying for 10 adventures. When your done adventuring, theres a nice little piece of extras- wait, EXTRAS?! While not meaty, it is a surprising and welcoming addition to this volume one set. any fan of the show will get a kick out of the creator's tale of what sorta inspired him to make this show. Then, watching him sing with his angelic voice as Flapjack makes it all the more welcoming. The other stuff, and terrific box-art both front and back, makes this a set to own for any fan of the show. I will agree with others, a season one set, or even a half-season set, would be all the more swell, but hey, this volume 1 could be a lot worse. Check it out, enjoy.

i bought this dvd for my 4 year old and he watches it every other day he loves it. To be honest out of all the kids dvds he has this one is the one i enjoy sitting down and watching with him. If you like sponagebob then you will like this dvd. This dvd is not region 2, it is region 1 so you will need a muti-region dvd player. Hurry up and release more episodes on to dvd
