Amazon.co.uk Review

Prior to this release, the Happy Tree Friends were the main attraction at a popular Web site, where they developed quite a cult following. It's easy to see why. These hyper-kinetic, ultra-violent, Flash-animated shorts are exactly the sorts of things to provide office workers with an amusing diversion for a few minutes. A large cast of doe-eyed cartoon animals with names such as Cuddles, Giggles and Lumpy are dispatched in a variety of gruesome ways, with results that are like My Little Pony guest-starring in an episode of The Simpsons' own ultra-violent cartoon Itchy & Scratchy. But what works so well on the Internet doesn't necessarily survive the transfer to home viewing. That which is cathartically entertaining to deskbound employees at 3 o'clock on a Friday afternoon is, at times, repetitive and even predictable when viewed from the comfort of one's own armchair. Itchy & Scratchy works so well because of the satire and the increasingly creative and ridiculously elaborate cartoon violence--qualities that are missing from Happy Tree Friends. As a result, it's best to sample this one episode at a time, rather than sit through the whole thing in one go. --Robert Burrow

5.0 out of 5 stars Friend of Happy Tree Friend, 11 Sep 2003

By	Wow this is good (London) - See all my reviews

Being an avid follower of the Happy Tree Friends website I was curious to see how this would work on a DVD. Several friends had told me that this was the summer smash to watch. I have now viewed it on 7 separate occasions and it seemed to get better each time!! I would recommend this to all South Park fans and cannot wait for the second installment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Very funny, but a little short., 11 Aug 2003

By	"monstamunch" - See all my reviews

The Happy Tree Friends are a collection of cartoons showing small furry cute animals dying very horrible and bloody deaths. Therefore this is a cartoon definitely NOT for small children, but nonetheless it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. However, each cartoon is only a few minutes long, and as a result the DVD itself is quite short, so more cartoons would have been a welcome. VERY VERY funny, but quite short-lived, for a taste visit their website, happytreefriends.com, which has a few episodes online for your viewing pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 28 Oct 2003

By A Customer

If you like itchy and scratchy then you will love this, cutesy characters combined with ultimate gore makes this a very wrong (but laughable) dvd. I didn't know what to expect when viewing for the first time, but now I am hooked. Its not very long but it is perfect for those occasions when you have friends around or just need a really good laugh. Not for the faint hearted!!!!

Sort of like an extended South Park episode, where the various ways in which 'Kenny' were killed are replayed - substituting Kenny with a variety of cute animals! Genius!
