Editorial Review:
Description: The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was based on the Indiana Jones series of films. The series follows the Indiana Jones character (as a young boy and as a young man) as he was growing up and experiencing his early adventures, where he gets into trouble, learns life lessons and encounters various historical figures along the way. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was filmed on location all over the world ~ including England, Russia, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Kenya, France, India, China, Austria, Egypt, the United States, Morocco, Ireland, Italy, Africa, Turkey, Greece and Thailand.
Amazon.com: DVD sets don’t come more generous or well-intended than The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume One. George Lucas’ 1990s television series, inspired by his feature film collaborations with Steven Spielberg and actor Harrison Ford, used a childhood version of Jones as a catalyst for involving young viewers in the dynamics of 20th century history and thought. As much a scamp as Ford’s swaggering hero-with-a-bullwhip, little Henry "Indy" Jones (Corey Carrier) gets into a great deal of mischief in his travels around the world with his disciplined father, Professor Henry Jones, Sr. (Lloyd Owen, doing a credible version of Sean Connery’s voice from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Also accompanied by his mother (Ruth de Sosa) and imperious tutor, Miss Seymour (Margaret Tyzack), Indy ends up in various unanticipated adventures with some of the most noteworthy individuals of his age. A trip to Paris finds him cavorting with young Norman Rockwell and an ultra-arrogant Pablo Picasso (who is out to prove that the style of aging Impressionist Edgar Degas is easy to forge). A stay in India lands Indy in the company of the great guru, Krishnamurti. In Russia, he feuds with Tolstoy as if the two were in a buddy movie. In Italy, Puccini puts romantic moves on Mrs. Jones, while Indy listens carefully in Vienna to definitions of love by none other than Freud, Jung and Adler.
The overall effect of these handsome, feature-length stories, all shot on glorious location, is of a certain audacity--Lucas having the nerve to name-drop all over the place and situate Jones with some of the greatest achievers in world culture. But each episode is nothing less than spectacularly educational as well as entertaining. Scripts are carefully written to reflect what these famous individuals actually contributed to mankind, and to give a sense of what their personalities were like. The last three shows in Volume One find Jones at age 20 (played by Sean Patrick Flanery), now more or less on his own as he gets into various scrapes in Mexico (where he rides with Pancho Villa) and Ireland (where he meets William Butler Yeats). There is so much to glean from these stories, but even more to bask in on the set’s many special features, which include multiple, exquisitely produced documentaries about the historical figures, political and artistic movements, and crucial events that play into this series. This is a great set for kids (probably beginning at the 6th grade level) and adults as well, preferably to watch together. --Tom Keogh

Great way to interest your kids in history. Peak their interests. May not be appropriate for all ages as some themes maybe a little too confusing for the very young. For the older student it is very entertaining, and the historical specials on the bonus discs are very informative. I would recommend the whole series.

In the beginning, you see how Indy starts his world-wide journey with his parents. He is almost sold into slavery, he is always getting into trouble, his smokin' hot mom almost had an affair, he and his dad settle their problems with each other, and he grows older! I bought this the night after I graduated on May 31st, 2008. If you like Indiana Jones and prequel series, you might like THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG INDIANA JONES VOLUME ONE - THE EARLY YEARS!!!

I am not sure what people are whining about...nostalgia for the way it was on TV? The issuing of a remastered set, in chronological order, sans Old Indy bookends is a great way to get into the whole sweep of this gigantic Indiana Jones prequel. In point of fact, the continuity of the series is much improved over the TV originals now and the overall editing, is excellent, as is the quality of the picture.
The historical documentaries, based on the famous characters Indy meets in his adventures ... Read More

I had never watched this series when it first aired, but this collection is really great. My 7 year old, a huge Indy fan, just loves watching the episodes over and over, and any adults in the viewing area are quickly caught up in the entertainment and educational. We'll be sure to pick up the subsequent volumes in the near future. I highly recommend it.

In a nutshell, these dvds are a treasure.
I have watched all three volumes with my third-grader son, and we both enjoyed every episode tremendously. This is the most enjoyable movie series I've ever watched. Some adventures are on the campy side, some very historical, some filled with eye-candy females, some non-stop action, all with the common denominator of either exotic foreign locales or lovely recreations of main-street America, and all undergirded by very inventive storylines.
