Review: Conan is one of those fantasy characters that has gotten an interesting treatment over the years.  This cartoon, for example, was a kid-friendly version of the savage warrior.  For that reason, many Conan fans have shunned the show.  There is a faction of people, however, were turned onto the mythology through this cartoon, so many of us do still enjoy it greatly.  Plus, its a fun way to let your kids experience a unique and fun world.  This DVD set wraps up the series, released by Shout Factory over the past year or so.  Its a joy to own it all and this is a great show that holds up well, as do all of the Sunbow produced shows.
