Nice entertainment

At first sight, these series are not as good as the original comics or movies. In fact, it's a good TV series based upon the comics' main characters, not a remake of the comics albums.

The humor is a bit repetitive, but this is quite usual in a TV series. The Daltons are always part of the stories, but this doesn't mean there is no new character. The characters' voices are not those of the movies, but it's not more problematic than that if you are not too conservative. Finally, the visual effects are better than in many other animated series : no Japanese style and a colors change according to the action, which is very nice !
