SmAdequate
This is probably one of those situations where you know exactly whether or not you're going to buy this. Do you like Kevin Smith podcasts? Do you like the youtube animated versions of said podcasts? Do you want to own it on a hard copy to watch on a big screen TV? Then there's little reason to read reviews. However, this DVD contains all of the "first season" of youtube shorts Kevin Smith commissioned after Steve Stark animated two segments of the smodcast oddball stream-of-consciousness comedy podcasts. This little tidbit of information about the making of these cartoons is almost nowhere to be found on this disc. There's no documentary, no interviews, no artwork, and no commentary (yes, I realize that would be commentary on commentary). There's not much as far as extras in this package when compared to previous Smith DVDs, like Zack and Miri and Clerks 2. This is a little disappointing if you're like me and watched these shorts for free multiple times, until you could got...
Tear in my eye
I bought this DVD as part of a box set from Shout Factory, but if you are looking to get just this disc, it is well worth it. I wait on the edge of my seat each month to see a new cartoon, as Steve Stark is a genius at bringing Kevin and Scott to animated form. He sees the conversation in his head, and animates all the manerisms and neuances with perfection. It is the animation alone that has me in stitches. The editing of the stories is perfect, as no crucial details are left out to make the stories flow, and I have to say, the way the entire DVD was edited together as one continuous movie is incredible. I hope this tradition continues forward and the rest of the SModimations that have been done get this same amazing treatment.
great movie, if a bit short
I love Kevin Smith, SModcast, and SMopimations this is a great way to support the program as well relive some of the funniest parts of SModcast it is very short though
